Now There's a Hearse Fit for Hell's Angels

From the suburbs of Washington, D.C., comes an unexpected innovation in the funeral world: a hearse truly fit for Hell's Angels.

Funeral home owner Michael Turch has developed a bespoke hearse based off a Harley Davidson motorcycle, replete with a transparent casket compartment. According to ABC News, Turch devised the motorcycle hearse at the request of clients who remembered a similar one from a past funeral. His version joins about 50 others currently in service around the United States, and has already been booked for several funeral services.

The hearse complements the styling of the Harley-Davidson motorcycle, using the same rear-wheel design and all-black exterior with hints of chrome. Unlike traditional, limousine-based hearses, there is no covered compartment for the driver, which could make it difficult to use in inclement conditions. Given the motorcycle's limited seating, family members and loved one will have to make separate transportation arrangements. Wheelies are probably not advisable, either, while appropriate leather attire is.

We're eager to see the unique hearse and test it for ourselves-from the front, please.
