Anubis Funeral Support Services has provided vital specialist transport and repatriation services to the UK funeral industry for five years. The firm also provides conducting and bearing support during funerals.
In 2019, after 15 years of working in the funeral industry, Nik Corking set up on his own and founded Anubis to provide responsive and reliable transport support for funeral directors. Initially, he used estate vehicles and purchased a specialist Renault Traffic ambulance in 2020.
When Nic’s Renault Traffic was damaged in an accident, he needed to find a suitable replacement immediately. His first call was to new and used removal vehicle specialists Superior UK Automotive Ltd, who promptly delivered a pristine used silver 2019 Vito XL complete with Superior ‘Rise&Fall’ deck in pewter grey.
Nic commented, ‘I had spoken to Superior’s Jon Helm at NFE and was very impressed with their decking systems. I knew then that my next vehicle would have to be an upgrade to a Superior Vito. He added, ‘When I needed to replace the Renault, Jon was brilliant; he listened to my requirements and managed to source precisely what I wanted.’
The nature of repatriation and other work supported by Anubis means that Nic covers many miles and needs to be ready to respond at a moment’s notice. Reliability and comfort are essential.
Nic commented, ‘Within two weeks of delivery, I had driven over 2000 miles, and the drive was everything you would expect from a Mercedes-Benz – undoubtedly a substantial upgrade in every respect. The deck is superb. It enables me to carry everything I need, such as wheels, jackets, and other repatriation equipment, so I am ready for any situation.
He added. ‘There is even space in separate drawers underneath to carry spare shoes, ties, tools, and a coffin repair kit. It’s like the Harrods of removal vehicles.’
