| I've chosen your answer but have to agree that "ceremonial car" would also fit the context, however imho it's less specific than "decorative car". |

speciality vehicle
This seems to be more than a standard limousine that would be used for a funeral, so I wonder if 'speciality vehicle' might fit the bill. Apparently there are all sorts of vehicles to choose from, e.g. Land Rovers, London buses, tractors... Who knew that this was a thing!

: This is a good translation which is generic enough to fit any bereavement requirement. See https://www.norgesklenodier.no/bryllupskjoring-bryllupsbil/.

Just throwing an idea into the ring to spark discussion and stimulate ideas. Without more context, it is difficult to know exactly what kind of vehicle this is.

| Thank you for your answer. It's a great alternative to "decorative car", which I found more specific for invoice purposes. |
