Funeral Car Service in Portland, OR — Family Cars, Guest Transportation, First-Call Pickups, Multi-Vehicle Processions

01 Who Rides With Us on a Funeral Day

Funeral car service covers three groups on one day — the immediate family in the lead vehicle, extended relatives in a second or third vehicle, and guests in a shuttle between the service, the cemetery, and the reception. The chauffeur handles the timing, the staging, and the quiet transitions so nobody has to drive themselves or coordinate rides on the hardest day of the year.

Your chauffeur is an independent professional hired and trained by the owner, driving the company's insured vehicle. The standard is dark-suit professional dress, quiet staging, door service for every passenger, and no small talk unless the family starts it. For families coordinating a service with a planner or funeral director, the owner coordinates directly on the phone before the day so the chauffeur arrives already briefed. For more on how we run every ride, see about All Star Town Car.

02 First-Call Service — Portland Pickups From Hospital, Home, or Care Facility

First-call service is the pickup from the place of death — a hospital, residence, hospice, or care facility — to the funeral home for the family's chosen next step. All Star Town Car coordinates with the funeral director and the family on timing, pickup address, and quiet handling so nobody has to arrange logistics in the first hour after a loss. Call (503) 995-1205 to coordinate directly.

First-call pickups run in the Chevrolet Suburban or GMC Yukon at $124 per hour with a 2-hour minimum, with the owner handling the dispatch personally. Timing is flexible for hospital-side releases, hospice coordination, and overnight calls. For families who have not yet selected a funeral home, the owner can suggest Portland-area options from Finley-Sunset Hills Mortuary, Rose City Cemetery & Funeral Home, Lincoln Memorial Park, and other established providers across the metro.

03 Multi-Vehicle Funeral Processions in Portland

Multi-vehicle processions run as one coordinated booking — one owner, one dispatch, one timeline. A standard configuration pairs the 2024 Cadillac Escalade for the immediate family with one or two 2026 Chevrolet Suburban or GMC Yukon vehicles for extended family, and a 14-passenger Mercedes Sprinter for guest shuttle service when the group needs it. So nobody has to split family members across unmarked vehicles or coordinate separate drivers on a difficult day.

Processions stage at the funeral home or the family's chosen pickup address, run together to the service venue, hold during the service, run together to the cemetery, and either hold again or return to the reception. The owner builds the full-day timeline on one phone call and the chauffeurs execute it as one coordinated team. For families with specific procession traditions — veteran honors, cultural practices, religious observances — timing and staging are discussed at booking so the chauffeur arrives already briefed.

04 Rides Between the Service, the Cemetery, and the Reception

Guests often need help getting between three or four locations in one day — the service venue, the cemetery, the reception, and sometimes a hotel. All Star Town Car provides shuttle service and private family transportation to and from Portland-area funeral homes and cemeteries including Finley-Sunset Hills Mortuary, Riverview Cemetery, Lincoln Memorial Park, Willamette National Cemetery, and Rose City Cemetery & Funeral Home, so nobody has to drive alone or circle for parking at every stop.

For out-of-town guests, the Mercedes Sprinter shuttle runs 14 passengers at $180 per hour with a 3-hour minimum, available through our affiliate network for larger groups. The chauffeur holds the vehicle at the hourly rate throughout the day — service, cemetery, reception, and back — so the family does not pay separately for each leg. One booking, one chauffeur, one accountable owner on the phone at (503) 995-1205. For PDX pickups of relatives flying in for the service, see PDX airport car service.

05 Airport Pickups for Family Flying Into PDX

When relatives fly in for a service, All Star Town Car meets them at Portland International Airport (PDX) and takes them to a hotel, the family home, or straight to the service venue. The chauffeur stages at Island 3 with a name board as the flight lands, tracks the flight through FlightAware with no additional charge for delays, and handles luggage into the vehicle so nobody has to figure out airport transport on top of everything else.

Standard airport pickup rates apply — Lexus LS 500 at $107/hr, Chevrolet Suburban or GMC Yukon at $124/hr, Cadillac Escalade at $150/hr. For arriving relatives who need to be met inside the terminal at baggage claim with a name sign, meet-and-greet inside is available for $65.

07 Booking — What We Need From Your Family

Please send what you have, even if some details are still open — it helps the owner hold the right vehicle and plan the day's timing. The information below covers most funeral bookings:

The date and the pickup time for each trip. Pickup and drop-off addresses, with any stops in order. How many people are riding in each vehicle. Flight numbers if relatives are flying into PDX. A name and cell number for the family member we should coordinate with on the day. Any specific traditions, religious observances, or timing cues the chauffeur should respect.

Book online at book online, see car service rates, or call (503) 995-1205 to coordinate directly with the owner. Every trip includes bottled water, in-car Wi-Fi, tolls, and parking. Sedan and SUV bookings cancel at no charge up to 24 hours before pickup; Sprinter bookings cancel at no charge up to 7 days before pickup — our cancellation terms have the details.

A multi-vehicle procession for a Portland funeral runs with the Escalade staged at the funeral home ten minutes before service start, the Suburban holding for extended family, and the Sprinter shuttle positioning at the hotel for out-of-town guests. The chauffeurs stay in touch by phone through the day, hold during the service, run the cemetery leg together, and either hold again or release at the reception. One booking, one accountable owner.
