How a Jaguar Hearse is made

Did you know, every Hearse constructed today is made from a normal sized car? No Hearse is built today without first converting a saloon!

We are very excited to bring you this exclusive video showcasing behind the scenes footage from Wilcox Limousines on how the Jaguar Hearse is engineered here in Great Britain by Europe's leading Limousine and Hearse manufacturer.

Watch as we take a brand new aluminium Jaguar XJ saloon and separate it into two halves! We then re- engineer and assemble utilising technologies usually reserved for the aircraft industry, taking over six weeks and using the very best technicians who are most highly skilled in the world.

We would love to hear your feedback! Please leave comments, share and message us.

This is a very relaxing video to watch, the care that has gone into creating such a beautiful Hearse is comforting.

Very encouraging to see such skills which, typically in Britain, are unknown to most outside of the industry. Very, very well done indeed. I hope you are offering Apprenticeships .

Since it's British you better buy two since one will be in the shop at all times.

I would only buy the E-Type version with the Datsun top like the one Harold Chasen drove. 😄

May we never loose craftsmanship. But we will all in time.

Jaguar and Chrysler 300C is the beautiest new herases at the moment! Just for curiosity, what do you do with the parts you remove such as trunk-hatch, backseat etc?

No LHD Jaguar hearse conversions for the USA or Canada?

Excellent craftsmanship for what they do at an affordable price. What i don't understand is WHY the need to raise up the roof so much and do it so far forward on the greenhouse.

*if you show me how to build a hearse.*

Wow I thought we were going to take a look at the old jagherse like from harold and Maude :( bummer

[ezbrony]

I had no idea that jaguar made hearses
wow.

[malinyamato]

The manufacturing seems very manual and expensive. How much ?

[wplg]

I was expecting something a little more Harold and Maude.

[TEWinkes]

I gather they made one a little longer for the Queen?

[mxferro]

That's why so much more labor and material intensive..to actually remove the front pillars and new doors to raise the roofline...wow.

This is certainly more custom then what is done in 3rd world countries that use just a suburban as is..or even pickup truck conversions!

[chrishenniker]

I thought they were built from the ground up.

Sweet. Looks like Princess Diana's ride.

I like the one from Harold and Maude better.
