Federal Renaissance Hearse Used for Kennedy Funeral

Federal Coach, with respect and humility, is proud to announce that our newly designed Cadillac Renaissance hearse with oval windows was used for Sen. Edward M. Kennedy's funeral. We are honored that one of our custom built, handcrafted funeral coaches was chosen as part of the final celebration of the life and work of "The Lion of the Senate."

Combining classic styling with elegant features and superb details, the Renaissance is a hearse on the cutting edge of funeral coach design and technology. This state-of-the-art funeral coach is newly designed for ease and comfort, with an additional two inches of space in the driver's compartment, a commercial size rear compartment of 42 inches, and a 126-inch casket floor—the longest in the industry. The Renaissance is one more example of Federal Coach's foremost objective: to produce nothing but the highest quality vehicle in the market today.

Since 1989, Federal Coach has been at the forefront of funeral coach design and technology. Our goal is to serve our customers by manufacturing high quality, safe specialty vehicles with a dedication to professionalism and integrity. We are proud that one of our custom vehicles has been utilized in such an important, esteemed venue, and will work to continue serving all our customers with the same level of craftsmanship and care.
