Funeral Coaches

The word 'hearse' comes from the Middle English 'herse,' which originally referred to a candelabra placed atop a coffin. By the seventeenth century, the term had come to describe the horse-drawn carriages that carried caskets to the burial site. Today, funeral professionals most often refer to these vehicles as funeral coaches, and at J. E. Guide Funeral Home we maintain a carefully cared-for fleet of four, each with its own name and character, so every family can choose the vehicle that feels right for their loved one's final journey.

Beauty

Beauty is the pride and joy of our fleet — a Lincoln MKT Hearse finished in elegant silver metallic. With its classic lines and refined detailing, Beauty offers a timeless presence suited to services that call for quiet grace. It is often chosen by families who want the procession to feel softly dignified rather than imposing, and its polished finish photographs beautifully on bright Trinidad afternoons.

King

King is our Cadillac DTS Hearse, finished in traditional black and built around a sense of power and composure. Its stately profile gives processions a strong, anchoring presence, and its interior is designed to handle long routes with ease. King is frequently selected for services with large processions, where the vehicle itself becomes part of the occasion.

Moses

Moses is the newest addition to our fleet — a Cadillac Escalade ESV-Hearse. Larger and more commanding than our other coaches, Moses is chosen by families wanting a bold, modern send-off with a noticeable presence on the road. Its sturdy build and distinctive silhouette make it especially fitting for grand services and longer processions across the island.
