My best friend has recently passed away and a comment a few months before on the subject of another friends funeral where he had a Hayabusa Hearse, was that he doesn't want a boring Hearse. I've been trying too find something a bit more interesting than your average Hearse but I've drawn blank to be honest. A modified car of some sort would be quite cool but I can't imagine there's much of a market for it, but something different from normal would be a good consideration.

I was wondering if anybody knew of any companies or has used something similar before?

Thanks alot

Think someone mentioned one of these on here the other day. Pretty cool but no idea where you'd find one...

Just spotted this - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2207813/Hu... - might be of use.

Edit - doing a bit of Google searching shows there's a few places with bike-based hearses.

The contact for the bike hearses is www.motorcyclefunerals.com - Rev Paul Sinclair is the boss and a great guy - one of my old racing sponsors.

The Maserati is cool. That's probably the kind of thing we'd need to get as opposed to a modified car hearse.

He wasn't into bikes really more cars, it was just the bike hearse that made him want something different from the norm.

Got no contact details but I know there are a few ex hearse clubs in the UK. I know a few get turned into hot rods eg a boxy Ford Granada with a V8 in it might be your best bet. see if one of them will let the car out for a day.

At the Buck's county show was a company with a Land Rover and a armoured troop carrier as hearse's.

I'm a Carriage Master who supplies funeral vehicles nationwide.

I've checked the national register of funeral vehicles this morning for you. Nothing 'modded' is on there sadly.

There are a number of weird and wonderful vehicles out there - if you need help finding anything then drop me a PM and I'll see if I can help.
