Eco-Hearse

Levertons' electric hearse

Since pioneering the UK's first all-electric eco-hearse in 2013, we've continued to lead with innovation and care. In July 2022, we added the first full-sized electric Nissan Leaf-based hearse to our fleet - demonstrating our commitment to lowering environmental impact without compromising dignity.

A modern alternative with tradition at heart

This hearse is based on the Nissan Leaf, redesigned with a lightweight carbon-fibre body for strength and efficiency. It achieves up to 200 miles on a single charge - with zero emissions, silent operation, and a meaningful way to honour a life in tune with the environment.

The Nissan Leaf saloon car counterpart also carries mourners and bearers in comfort and style - giving families a consistent, respectful experience every step of the way.

Why families choose the eco-hearse

  • It reflects a deeper alignment between sustainability values - giving a farewell that lives in honour and thoughtfulness.
  • It's quiet, clean journey offers a gentle farewell in cleaner air zones.
  • The same attention to detail, respect and personalisation applies - just delivered with a more sustainable vehicle.

Our greener funeral options have earned us industry acclaim, including the Gold Award from the Greener Globe Funeral Standards, recognising our sustainability leadership in funeral care. Find out more about our greener and sustainable funeral options.
