Brit firm offers a double-decker bus as funeral vehicle
By ANISunday, January 23, 2011
LONDON - A Brit funeral firm has found a unique way to take the dead to their final destination-in a double-decker red bus.
Lymn Undertakers has become the first in Britain to be able to offer the option of a London double-decker instead of a traditional hearse.
The idea has picked up so well that the Nottingham firm operates funeral buses two or three times a week.
“We think it’s important for people to have the freedom to make their funerals unique as a way of preserving the memory for their loved ones. We ask our customers to tell us what they would like and then we do our best to deliver,” the Daily Express quoted Managing director Nigel Lymn Rose as saying.
Lymn Rose said that the bus also has a practical function.
“The great thing about the buses is that the family and loved ones can travel in the bus alongside the deceased, where normally they would travel in a vehicle behind,” he said. (ANI)
