Have you saved the date yet?

The 2024 Australian Hearse Nationals will be held on the 4th August 2024.

This event will once again be hosted in conjunction with the Hearse Owners Club of Australia and the Goldfields Golthic Festival. Host Town is again the wonderful township of Maldon Victoria.

The 2024 Australian Hearse Nationals is planned to be much bigger and much better than the one held this year.

Book your accommodation, arrange your leave from work. Most importantly get your hearse ready for what will be an awesome weekend in the township of Maldon.

There is plenty to see and do while in the area. So why not make a holiday of it. The area of Maldon and its surrounding townships hold some amazing history, things to do and see and some very beautiful scenery.

We will start taking entries for the event in the new year. The 2023 Nats were very well received and supported with a great number of hearses making the trip for our first ever Hearse Nationals. Let's see if we can make this event even bigger with more hearses in 2024.

The 2024 Australian Hearse Nationals is open to all hearses both privately owned and those still in service within funeral home fleets. The event is also open to Floral cars, Family coaches and Transfer vehicles, both new and old.

On behalf of the Hearse Owners Club of Australia I would like to once again thank the township of Maldon for allowing us to host the 2023 Australian Hearse Nationals in their town and take part in the Goldfields Golthic Festival. It was refreshing to see how enthusiastic the locals were about the festival and having us host this event with theirs.

Thank you also to Peter Thompson of Thompson Family Funerals for his assistance on the day and help to bring this all together.

Also a special thank you to our award sponsors Thompson Family Funerals, Fox Mowing & Gardening, Goldfields Golthic Festival and of course our own Hearse Owners Club of Australia.

It was awesome to see the support our club had on the day from the funeral industry as well. This shows that we are doing something right as a club.
