Coleman Milne is a British coachbuilding company specializing in the design and manufacture of ceremonial vehicles, primarily hearses and limousines. Established in 1953 by Roderick Coleman and George Milne, the firm is based in Westhoughton, Bolton, Greater Manchester. It operates as a subsidiary of the Woodall Nicholson Group.
The company is recognized for its specialized vehicle conversions, historically utilizing chassis from automotive manufacturers such as Ford and Mercedes-Benz. Common models produced by the firm include the "Cardinal" hearse and the "Dorchester" limousine, which have traditionally been based on the Ford Granada, Scorpio, and more recently, the Mondeo platforms. In the 21st century, the company integrated Mercedes-Benz E-Class platforms into its production line.
In response to changing automotive trends and environmental regulations, Coleman Milne has expanded into the development of battery electric vehicles (BEVs). This includes the introduction of hearses and limousines based on the Tesla Model S and the Ford Mustang Mach-E.
Coleman Milne primarily serves the funeral trade and livery sectors within the United Kingdom and various international markets. The company is a member of professional industry bodies, including the National Association of Funeral Directors (NAFD) and the Society of Allied and Independent Funeral Directors (SAIF).
