The new 5-door Mercedes E-Class 214 by Huiskamp Carrosseriefabriek is designed to set the standard in professional appearance, finish and everyday usability. The daily practice of the funeral professional is central to its design, resulting in a vehicle that is reliable in daily use, efficient to work with and maintains a dignified appearance in all circumstances.
With its well-balanced proportions, high-quality materials and carefully designed coffin compartment, this model represents a worthy successor within the long tradition of Mercedes-Huiskamp hearses. The Mercedes is available with a choice of diesel, petrol or hybrid powertrains.
Available body configurations
The 5-door Mercedes Huiskamp is available in two versions, each with its own distinctive character.
Landaulette
The Landaulette configuration gives the ceremonial vehicle a classic and distinguished appearance, featuring closed side panels, a traditional vinyl roof and the characteristic landau bars that have defined this body style for generations.
The overall design results in a restrained and timeless presence with a dignified appearance.
Glass
A modern, elegant configuration with large side windows, allowing more natural light into the coffin compartment.
The Glass configuration gives the hearse an open and accessible character.
The roof can be finished entirely in body colour or executed in vinyl, a choice that subtly yet decisively influences the vehicle’s overall appearance.
Original body lines, seamlessly continued
Through our coachbuilding optimisation, the distinctive Mercedes design is fully retained. The design lines flow harmoniously into the extended wheelbase, widened body and raised roofline. The proportions appear entirely natural, as if the vehicle was always meant to be this way.
From every angle, the design remains unmistakably Mercedes, enhanced by the stylistic refinement that is characteristic of Huiskamp Carrosseriefabriek.
Designed for optimal ergonomics in daily operation
The body and interior developed by Huiskamp make the Mercedes 5-door particularly suitable for the transport of two coffins. The tailgate opens high, providing ample headroom and allowing comfortable and safe working around the vehicle. The tailgate can be operated electrically or manually, according to preference. In addition, the wide rear opening makes loading two coffins straightforward.
Various floor systems are available for the coffin floor, ranging from a fixed floor with a bridging panel to a manually or fully electrically extendable system, with the underrun protection automatically lowering when the floor is extended. Loading two coffins with the floor extended provides a particularly low lifting height. The large side doors open wide and provide optimal access to the thoughtfully arranged storage compartments and the front section of the coffin floor.
Digital design process
The Mercedes Huiskamp 5-door has been designed using the latest technologies. By first developing the model entirely in a digital environment, its lines, proportions and functionality could be refined in detail before the actual coachbuilding process began.
This allowed design, engineering and practical usability to be developed as one integrated whole from the outset.
Technical dimensions
Utmost attention to detail
The Mercedes Huiskamp 214 5-door hearses are fully designed, developed and built in-house. The combination of high-quality finishing and carefully considered functionality makes this configuration unique within its segment. Handcrafted chrome trims, carefully shaped panels and high-gloss polished stainless steel detailing in the coffin compartment give the vehicle the distinction that characterises Huiskamp. Through the craftsmanship and dedication of the Huiskamp Carrosserie team, a hearse is created that conveys dignity and professionalism at the highest level.
Extensive options and bespoke customisation
A bespoke hearse
Every Mercedes E-Class by Huiskamp Carrosseriefabriek is finished to an exceptionally high standard. To ensure the ceremonial vehicle aligns even more closely with the needs of your organisation, a wide range of options and possibilities is available for both the exterior and the interior. These include choices in colour schemes, accents and detailing that reflect the identity of your organisation, as well as features that enhance ease of use, such as an extendable floor system or electrically operated roller blinds. The result is a funeral vehicle that supports your daily operations while reinforcing the professional image of your organisation.
Exterior tailored to your identity
The exterior of the Mercedes E-Class by Huiskamp Carrosseriefabriek offers extensive possibilities to align the ceremonial vehicle with the identity of your organisation. You may opt for subtle or more distinctive accents, such as a chrome package or a targa trim, available in half or full-length versions, with or without pillar-mounted ceremonial lamps.
A wide range of colour options is also available, from virtually any paint finish to refined two-tone combinations that add depth to the design. Stainless steel roof rails can be incorporated as a stylish element, as well as a large fixed glass roof panel to enhance transparency within the coffin compartment. For the Belgian market, floral tribute rails are additionally available.
By carefully combining these options, a distinguished appearance is created that reflects the character and professionalism of your organisation.
Interior tailored to your requirements
Within the interior of the Mercedes E-Class by Huiskamp Carrosseriefabriek, there is ample opportunity to tailor the ceremonial vehicle to your preferences. The coffin compartment can be finished in a variety of materials and colour schemes, ranging from a warm, classic appearance to a more modern and understated atmosphere.
Practical use is supported by thoughtfully designed storage solutions, with compartments and drawers configured to suit the equipment you use in daily practice, such as the dimensions of your church trolley. For the floor system, you may choose between a fixed configuration, a manually extendable floor or a fully electrically extendable variant, executed as a single unit or divided into multiple sections. A discreetly integrated fold-out urn holder is also available.
The finishing of the partition wall and side panels can be composed according to your preferences, with electrically operated roller blinds offered as an additional option. With further features such as indirect lighting or a fully integrated starlight headliner, the interior achieves a look that is both functional and dignified during every ceremony.
