Originally a Triumph Rocket III motorcycle, the aptly named ‘Rocket Hearse’ was professionally adapted so that it could carry a coffin robustly aboard the motorbike. The distinctive means of transport is a popular choice for motorcycle enthusiasts as well as those who wish to have an unconventional funeral for themselves or their loved ones.
