Okay, so how do I post the picture?

Reply ID 28428

I don't think you can. Only admin can do it

Reply ID 28429

But didn't Steve do the 'I can park where I like?' Anyway if Steve/Admin wants to contact me via my e-mail address I'll send him the picture to post! It's local, it's relevant and it's great!!

I think you can but not sure if you need to make it available on the web first - see http://www.hertford.net/yoursay/faq.asp#hyperlink for instructions and it appears that in *links* you can use file:// but not sure if this works with the [img] tag...

I have no idea what you mean. Sorry. I can e-mail it to anyone who knows how to do this. You know when you wish you hadn't started something.....

Sheila can you put it on to somewhere like photobucket and just paste the link in.

Now that is different, in all my experince with funeral directors I have never come across one of those before. I have made floral bikes but never seen a hearse one! Not much room for flowers in there when the coffin is on I guess.

Cool, what a way to go

David and Avery. Thanks for your help. I was just lost but I knew that it was something that should be shared.

Reply ID 28448

Many thanks for sharing those - definitely the first one I've ever seen!

My sister thinks it may have been for a local character whose funeral she thinks was today, she said it would fit but don't want to put names in case we are wrong, very different and inkeeping if she is right though. Sorry you know by now I can't spell

I understand that there are only 3 of these in the country. It caused quite a stir on Fore Street today. Many camera phones were used I can confirm!

What a great picture, and with my favourite undertaker with a helmet on! Superb!!

Wow, I gotta get me one of those!!!

I've met this guy (well the one that started it). He used to ride all over the country doing funerals. Now he puts the bike and hearse on a trailer. I seem to remember that he's based in Leicester.

I don't think Mother would really want to be whizzed to her final resting place in this way. Is this to do with motor cycle rider funerals only or somehow related to the Hells Angels movement?

Reply ID 28491

Great! I saw this on the A414 a couple of months ago and almost thought I had imagined it. Nice to have a picture of it finally! : )

Forbes, how did you get your picture in your message?

Reply ID 28525

This, with all due respect, is NOT another 1, as you can see it is not a motorcycle hearse it is a trike with a trailer. This particular vehicle was made for the country & western fans as opposed to bikers & is called 'The Tomb Stone' It is not a professional funeral vehicle for a couple of reasons, 1 it has no flower rail on the roof & 2 there is a curtain around the top edge that would hide any flowers that were on the coffin. Also there is nowhere for a pillion passenger. Having said all this, it is still a nice looking piece of kit, no getting away from that! quote]Originally posted by Forbes

No parking ticket is due to the sensitivity & understanding of the undertakers needs to care for his client by the parking attendant Lady, & the fact that the undertaker used his charm to its fullest. quote]Originally posted by Sheila W Heel
