At Coleman Milne we have the ‘Pedigree’ to build bespoke bodies for Rolls-Royce vehicles and carry out specialist conversion work. We have been doing it since the 1920’s. That is the reason why the Mason Family has chosen a Coleman Milne Rolls – Royce adaptation into a hearse.
Since the mid 1700’s the Mason Family have taken great care providing high quality services and are equipped with the most modern facilities to provide the care necessary in all aspects of the profession. This new addition to their fleet is only another declaration about the standards W H Mason & Son want to offer to their communities.

Having worked in the funeral profession for many years, Mr. Neil Middlehurst has wisely decided to start his own business and use his experience in the benefit of the St Helens community. He has recently refurbished the premises of his business to provide excellent facilities for his clients. The next obvious step was to complement his investment, and Coleman Milne was proud to provide a beautiful Coleman Milne Approved Pre-owned Mk10 Cardinal Hearse at an excellent price. They were so happy with the purchase that the family also bought an Approved Pre-owned Mk10 Limousine.
All at Coleman Milne wish Neil and his colleagues at Neil Middlehurst Funeral Directors all the best in their future endeavors.

There’s a certain quality about the Coleman Milne Vehicles. Whether it’s their distinctive design or their performance, they all have a presence that commands respect. And all that is supported by the magnificent people that work with these cars every day, making them what they are, pouring all of their experience, knowledge and passion into every hearse and limousine that comes out of our factory. It is our determination to create the best British manufactured funeral vehicles, and we are able to do that because our engineers really care. So we are proud to announce the start of production of our own, locally made funeral range of Mercedes Benz E 212. A unique and highly distinctive car, built with your safety and comfort in mind, and now you can have it manufactured right here in the UK.
Dave Terry, Director of Engineering says: “Developing the Mercedes E212 to bring it to market as a unique UK built project has generated many challenges for us at Coleman Milne. Our engineers have had to overcome many issues as diverse as making the external body styling work for both the hearse and the limousine, to working with our specialist partners ,to resolve the a multitude of technical problems that are created by producing funeral vehicles on this base car. It would have been simple to pursue the same route as other suppliers and work with the German produced funeral base vehicle, but we believed that the challenge to make the car completely within our factories in Westhoughton was worth the effort, especially in this economic climate, and in fact, many of our customers drove us down this path. We believe the finished product meets the exacting standards we set ourselves at the onset of this project, to develop, build and supply to the UK funeral sector, a UK built solution”
It is our passion for perfection that drives Coleman Milne to lead the way in funeral vehicles, our commitment and reassurance that all our limousines, hearses, and removal ambulances are designed and built by craftsmen using the very best materials to the highest standards of quality.

In 1974, Mr John Maltby bought the long – established firm of G Gamble & Sons (Quorn) Ltd. Over the next 7 years, the business expanded rapidly and John bought his first Limousine from Coleman Milne – a new Ford Grosvenor MK VI. Within 3 years, the Ford fleet grew to a Hearse and 3 Limousines. Since then, G Gamble have stayed faithful to the Ford Marque and have now bought the MK10 Cardinal and Dorchester Limousine shown above.
Caring for families in the Loughborough and Charnwood areas, the company is still very much an independent family – owned business and CM wish them every success with their new fleet.
