Erciyes Cenaze Araçları | Hearse, mortuary and coffin manufacturing
Based in Kayseri, Turkey, Erciyes Hizmet Araçları Ltd. Şti. (Erciyes Cenaze Araçları / Erciyes Grup) is a specialized engineering and body-conversion company focusing on funeral vehicles, mobile mortuary units, and healthcare transport equipment. The company provides complete technical and superstructure solutions to municipalities, villages, hospitals, forensic institutions, and public organizations across Turkey.
Hearse and Mortuary Vehicle Conversions
Erciyes Cenaze Araçları converts standard commercial vans and light commercial vehicles—most notably Ford Transit, Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and Vito, Volkswagen Transporter and Crafter, as well as Fiat Ducato—into fully certified funeral vehicles. Completed within 7 to 15 business days, these vehicle conversions meet relevant TSE and health regulations. Standard bodywork features include antibacterial and washable interior wall linings, advanced thermal and acoustic insulation, telescopic roller systems for ergonomic loading, and robust stretcher lock mechanisms. Depending on fleet requirements, vehicles are engineered with capacities for single, double, triple, or four coffins, and fitted with high-efficiency cooling units to ensure safe long-distance body transport.
Mobile Washing and Funeral Support Solutions
To assist communities during funeral preparations, the company designs specialized vehicles and mobile trailers:
• Mobile Funeral Washing Vehicles and Trailers: Self-contained mobile gasilhane units equipped with clean and waste water storage tanks, water heaters, and integrated stainless steel washing tables.
• Washing Tables (Teneşir) and Stands: Durable stainless steel structures designed for easy disinfection and field use.
• Condolence Vehicles and Trailers: Mobile social welfare units outfitted with interior seating arrangements, tea brewing facilities, kitchen counters, and heating/cooling systems to accommodate mourners.

Mortuary Units and Coffin Production
Erciyes manufactures commercial mortuary units from 304-grade stainless steel to provide optimal corrosion resistance, hygiene, and thermal insulation.

In the coffin category, the company supplies traditional wooden coffins alongside modern aluminum sal coffins, which feature reinforced alloy structures, impact resistance, leakproof seals, and ergonomic carry handles.
