Borrowing the LAMA Minibus for Funerals

Wednesday 27th March 2024

As a condition of our operator's licence, the LAMA minibus is not available for "private hire" unless it is for a purpose that is of benefit to the community.  The minibus may, however, be used for funerals for transporting members of the local community, family and close friends to and from a remembrance ceremony and/or funeral reception, provided that the gatherings are freely open to members of the local community who wish to pay their respects.  In order to maximise benefit, this usage could involve running a number of trips between each location.

The LAMA minibus would be borrowed by the grieving family and/or close friends (normal loan rates would apply), but the scheduling would be managed by LAMA to ensure that there was benefit to the community.  Special consideration may be given to the particular circumstances and needs of the grieving family, but adequate provision must be made to enable members of the local community to use the minibus.  Any loan would, of course, be subject to driver availability.
