The Daimler DS420 is widely used among the funeral trade, serving as both the executive car for mourning relatives and the hearse, after customization, for the deceased.
The most prominent funeral with a Daimler Limousine and hearse was that of Diana, the Princess of Wales in 1997.
Diana's coffin was transported in a 1985 Daimler hearse from RAF Northolt to St. James Palace for a lying in state.
Her two sisters followed in a 1992 Daimler Limousine belonging to the Queen.

The limousines have also been used to transport representatives of Queen Elizabeth II worldwide, as well as well as diplomatic missions in London, including governors of Hong Kong, the High Commissioner of New Zealand, the Governor of Tasmania, and the Governor of Guernsey.
A Daimler Limousine still serves the Lieutenant Governor of Jersey.
Diplomatic missions that have used the DS420 include Jordan, Oman, Portugal, and Spain.
The DS420 was also the choice of other governments who were looking for an appropriate car to transport dignitaries during state visits or for use by their own officials on formal occasions, such governments including those of Australia and New Zealand.

The vehicles were also used by hotels that provided them to their guests for transportation.
 The Regent Hotel in Hong Kong (today known as the InterContinental Hong Kong) had, over the years, no less than 22 in service for its guests.
