Queen Elizabeth II's hearse was customized for her

Queen Elizabeth II's coffin arrives in Edinburgh, Scotland

The late queen's coffin was draped in the Royal Standard for Scotland and topped with a wreath made of flowers from the estate, including sweet peas, one of the queen's favorites.

Queen Elizabeth II's casket was carried across Scotland on Sunday in a black hearse that was specially prepared for the task.

The vehicle was provided by the William Purve Funeral Directors service, which saw its website crash after its name was seen on the vehicle's window.

The car was not originally black, however, as William Purve's fleet is famously silver.

"I can confirm that the hearse is one of our Silver E-Class Mercedes-Benz fleet which is wrapped in black to comply with Royal protocol," a spokesperson for the Edinburgh-based company told Fox News Digital.

The car is based on a Mercedes-Benz E-Class and was built by Germany's Binz International, according to Drive.

The company has been in business since 1936 and originally built horse-drawn ambulances and hearses, but started converting luxurious Mercedes-Benz vehicles in the 1950s.

The model used for the Queen's procession features an extended wheelbase that allows it to maintain two rows of passenger seating. Binz even uses the same body panel supplier as Mercedes-Benz to maintain its appearance and quality.
