Farewell journeys

We are adding a new chapter to Polly Pootles, as a beetle funeral car. The car is now available to hire to take part in funeral corteges. We can provide a unique and personal touch to farewell journeys. We have experience of the funeral industry, and are happy to work alongside any funeral director.

Just as weddings celebrate love, funerals honour the love that remains even after someone has passed. We have requests from families who want something a little different to travel in. Something classic, personal, and full of character. Our beetle, with its timeless charm and deep emotional connection to so many, feels like a perfect fit.

While our beetle is a well-known wedding car, we want to reassure all couples that this new offering is handled with the utmost care and respect. When it’s used for farewells, it is presented in a subtle, dignified way without any overlap with its wedding appearances. It remains the same beautiful car that brings joy to brides and grooms.

Why offer this service?

This decision comes from a deep appreciation for how meaningful transport can be in life’s big moments. Whether it’s a joyful beginning or a heartfelt goodbye, our beetle provides a unique and personal touch. It’s not just a car, it’s a part of people’s memories, and we’re honoured to offer it for both weddings and farewells.

If you’re looking for a classic, character-filled vehicle for your wedding or a dignified, special farewell, Polly Pootles is here to serve with love and respect.. Please do get in touch to find out more. We can carry three passengers (no young children unforunately), we’re based near Dartford in Kent and are fully insured for this service.

Do get in touch with Green’s Carriages or Mortons Funeral Hire if you are looking for a camper hearse.
