Our latest handover to Manson & MacBeath Funeral Directors is the newest chapter in a long-standing relationship with Coleman Milne, and it arrives at a fitting moment, as the funeral home celebrates a major extension and refurbishment of its offices.
Manson & MacBeath has been a loyal Coleman Milne customer for years, returning to us time and again to expand and refresh their fleet. Working closely with contact Jamie Manson, our team was proud to deliver a vehicle that reflects both the standards Manson & MacBeath is known for and the next stage of their business’s growth. The handover itself was carried out by Area Sales Manager for Scotland and NI, Tony Kerr.
At the heart of this delivery is a Mercedes-Benz 213 Classic petrol hearse, a model that pairs elegance with the dependability funeral directors rely on for daily service. This quality vehicle was thoroughly prepared and finished to Coleman Milne’s exacting standards. A glass roof allows natural light to fall gently across the coffin, adding a graceful, contemporary touch to the traditional hearse silhouette, while a burled amber deck brings a rich warmth to the interior presentation. Coverboards complete a clean, uniform finish, and illuminated signage ensures the vehicle is clearly and respectfully visible during processions. Practical touches were not overlooked either, with wreath rails providing secure floral display, air conditioning for comfort on longer journeys, and sat nav and Bluetooth connectivity bringing everyday convenience and reliability to the team behind the wheel. Every detail was specified to give Manson & MacBeath a hearse that performs beautifully on the road while upholding the quiet dignity families expect.
The timing of this handover couldn’t be more fitting. Manson & MacBeath recently completed a significant extension and refurbishment of their offices, and the newly upgraded premises formed the perfect backdrop for the handover photographs. Seeing the latest addition to the fleet, this Mercedes-Benz 213 hearse, arrive outside their offices captures a business investing in its future on every front.
Deliveries like this one are exactly why we do what we do at Coleman Milne. Repeat customers such as Manson & MacBeath are a testament to the quality, craftsmanship and service that go into every vehicle we build. We look forward to continuing this journey with Jamie Manson, Beth MacBeath and the whole team as their fleet, and their business, continues to grow.
