Sadly, retirement is looming for our beautiful Reggie. If you have a Reggie sized space in your garage please reach out for details. We still have the back seat and seat belts that he arrived with so can easily go back to being a “more than one passenger” vehicle. Transport will be at your expense if you are not local to the Gold Coast.

Found this about the afterlife of hearses, it's such an interesting read!

When they no longer carry caskets, some of these vehicles end up in museums—or even pawn shops.

Reggie is feeling arty this morning. Thanks to River for this picture.

....and the back seat is officially out of there, and Reggie is now a one passenger vehicle, sporting a full length permanent deck. In keeping with our bright red and shiny aspect we’ve bypassed traditional rollers and gone for bright red slide strips instead. Noice!!!!❤️

Ahhh, beautiful Braeside.....💕

Our Story

Call it what you will – a funeral, a farewell, a celebration of life. However you choose to describe it, acknowledging the end of a loved one’s earthly presence should be more than just a “one size fits all” type deal. My mission in the creation of Artisan Funerals, is to guide people in making beautiful, informed and memorable choices based on their own unique needs.

My name is Karen Lucas. I have been a trusted funeral care provider since starting as a trainee embalmer/mortician and funeral assistant in 2001. I began my journey at a family owned funeral home on the Coromandel Peninsula, learning all aspects of funeral care, from care and presentation of loved ones, through to arranging and conducting of funeral services.

Working within this close-knit community of mostly Pakeha and Maori families gave me a huge appreciation of the diversity of cultural, religious and often budgetary needs which must be met when someone has passed.

I was then based for several years in south Auckland, furthering my experience within an even more widely varied cultural community.
