NYC Royal Limo provides a funeral transportation service NYC families can call at any hour, with black sedans, SUVs, stretch limousines and group vehicles for family members and guests across all five boroughs.

We coordinate directly with your funeral director so the family does not have to.
We have served New York families since 2001. We know that on this day the car must be on time, the chauffeur must be quiet, and nothing should need to be explained twice. That is how we run every funeral booking.
How NYC Royal Limo Supports a Funeral
A funeral in New York City usually means several locations in one day: the home, the funeral home or house of worship, the cemetery, and a restaurant or family home for the repast. Family members arrive from different neighborhoods, and some fly in from out of town. We handle all of it as one arrangement.

Respecting Religious and Cultural Traditions
New York families observe funerals in many traditions, and the transportation should fit the custom, not the other way around. Our coordinators and chauffeurs regularly serve:
Jewish funerals, including same-day and next-day burials, with vehicles available on short notice and chauffeurs who understand the pace of the service and the procession to the cemetery
Catholic and Orthodox funerals, with transport between the funeral home, the church for the Mass or service, and the cemetery
Muslim janazah, with prompt availability for burial within a day and transport from the mosque to the cemetery
Caribbean, West African, Latin American and Asian traditions, where larger family and community groups travel together and a Sprinter or bus keeps everyone in one procession
Memorial services and celebrations of life without a burial, including transport to a reception venue or waterfront location
Tell us about the service when you book. We will plan the vehicles, the timing and the route around it.
