Funeral Transportation You Can Trust: Compassionate, Accessible Rides Across NYC, Westchester, Long Island & Connecticut

Funeral home

Losing a loved one is never easy. During times of grief, the last thing families should worry about is how to safely and comfortably get everyone to where they need to be.

At Ride A WAV, we understand that funeral days are about honoring life, supporting one another, and being fully present in the moment. That’s why we provide reliable, wheelchair-accessible transportation across New York City, Westchester County, Long Island, and Connecticut—so you and your loved ones can focus on what truly matters.

Why Accessible Funeral Transportation Matters

Funeral services often involve multiple locations—homes, places of worship, cemeteries, and reception venues. For individuals who use wheelchairs or have mobility challenges, navigating this journey can feel overwhelming.

Traditional transportation options like taxis or rideshares simply aren’t equipped to provide:

• Proper wheelchair access

• Safe securement during transit

• Door-through-door assistance

• Compassionate, patient support

That’s where Ride A WAV steps in.

We specialize in accessible transportation that goes beyond just a ride—we provide peace of mind.

A Family’s Experience That Says It All

One of the greatest honors of what we do is being trusted during such meaningful and emotional days. Recently, a family shared their experience with us after using Ride A WAV for a full-day funeral service:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“RIDE A WAV provided excellent service when I needed all day wheelchair-accessible transportation for a family funeral. Ruby and Samantha were incredibly helpful and patient while coordinating all the details and answering my many questions. Our driver, David, was professional, punctual, and compassionate throughout the day. Their team helped make a difficult day run smoothly, and I’m very grateful for their care and support.” Nicole

This is exactly what we strive for.

From the first phone call with our dispatch team to the final drop-off at home, our goal is simple—to make sure families feel supported, cared for, and never alone in handling the logistics of the day.

Because on a day like this, it’s not just about transportation. it’s about trust.

Another Family We Were Honored to Support

Every family’s situation is different, and sometimes the logistics can feel overwhelming—especially when travel is involved.

One family reached out to us during an incredibly difficult time, needing to transport their mother from Connecticut to New York for a funeral. Here’s what they shared:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“I can't thank RIDE A WAV enough! My Dad passed away on Sunday and we needed a way to get my Mom, who is in a wheelchair, from the assisted living facility where she is in CT to the funeral in NY. I called RIDE A WAV on Monday night and dealt with Alicia. Alicia was very easy to work with. She was funny too! She was transparent with pricing and how the pricing works. On the day of the funeral RIDE A WAV called me to make some adjustments to our ride that would benefit me, which I was very grateful for. I can't remember the name of the woman who called me on Wednesday morning but I think her name also started with an, "A." She was also extremely helpful. Felix was extremely professional and pleasant. He picked my Mom up at the assisted living facility, brought her to the funeral and then to the restaurant where we were having lunch after. We booked a separate return ride from NY to CT for my Mom and Felix was our driver again. Felix was early for both rides, which we are super appreciative about. Using RIDE A WAV is a great alternative to an ambulette for anyone who is in a wheelchair and in need of non-medical transportation.” Juliana

Stories like this are why we do what we do.
