Sean Healy of Healy Brothers of NI sign for a 212 E-Class Fleet
Healy Brothers, owned by Tom and Sean Healy, who between them have a combined experience of 44 years in the funeral sector, have achieved much in their relatively short trading existence. To offer a grieving family a quality service, delivered with compassion in a modern funeral home environment is the backbone of the company. To support this high level of customer service, they always had the desire to operate Coleman Milne funeral vehicles. Starting the business in August 2005 with locally sourced pre-owned vehicles, they ordered their first new Coleman Milne Mercedes E-Class hearse in 2007, followed by a new Galaxy removal vehicle in 2010. Now, in preparation for the next stage of their growth, the brothers are the first in Ireland to order a fleet of Coleman Milne E-Class 212 funeral vehicles. If success comes via hard work and a clear vision of where they are going, the brothers will do well.

A devoted employee, Mr Robert Graham, known to his colleagues as Bob, has recently celebrated 25 years with Coleman Milne. Working in the fibreglass department during this period, Bob has seen many changes to both products and staff whilst he is currently involved in the building of the Mercedes Benz E-Class and Ford Fairlane Funeral Vehicles. “A real gentleman, a very hard worker, experienced, helpful, polite”, are just a few of the words used by his colleagues to describe him.
