why are people so confused ! its simple, if a company uses it, then its hired as part of the funeral package then a cof is required, if youknow someone who lends you a hearse then it doesnt because its not hired for reward, if unsure ring nzta

Pretty sure they don't need a COF. The meat-wagons (pick up vehicles) definately don't.
Just carjammed one of their hearses and it's got a WOF.

Wow, so many conflicting stories, so little time. The hearse one is really interesting as it seems to depend on how the vehicle was first registered and if it carries passengers (other than the stiff) in the course of its duties. In saying that, they are exempt from requiring a PSL (passenger service licence) while in their duties as a hearse. Ambos, no logbook required as they are exempt but they do have to comply with the work time rule in regards to logbook hours although they do have exceptions written in law to cover priority callouts. The ambo service is required to have a passenger service licence as they carry passengers for hire or reward. Ambo drivers only require a full drivers licence not a P endorcement. Fire, also exempt from logbooks but the fire service is required to have a TSL as they carry goods for hire or reward being water. Driving Miss Daisy cars need a COF as they are a taxi or shuttle service and the drivers need a P endorcement. Courier vehicles are a light motorvehicle (unless they have a GVM exceeding 3500kg) and do not require a COF. Hope this helps

THanks Berg. Yea spose once you're dead & in the box, it's just a box of meat in the back of the hearse unless you start carrying the relatives as well. Maybe with the hearses that only have a wof, the company won't allow passengers to travel in the hearse. Have seen passengers in a hearse at a funeral before but not often.
