I always wanted to get one and put a gas grill in it with a cooler, so when you stop off on a long ride you can fire it up and eat.,,
seems like a lot of trouble to go through when there are restaurants everywhere. (and they clean up after you)

Caskets are cool , in a 1960/70s sort of way.
I saw one the other day made from a 'jetski'.
The guy had storage beneath the seat and where the
engine "used to be".
The tail light was mounted where the water 'jet' would exit.
Given towing a casket or a jet ski....I got to go with the LIVING.

Building one is easy. Just bolt a casket to a flat bed trailer. Prices should be cheap for a used casket.

Only in America!

Does anyone know of a company selling used caskets? Looks like building one is just a matter of bolting a casket to a small flatbed utility trailer.
Good Gawd, I just spit coffee all over my keyboard! That is a funny post!

Have you ever checked the tongue weight on that setup? It looks a little front heavy?

I want this for my final ride...

http://www.tombstonehearse.com/home.htm

I've seen one of these a couple of times on PGR videos. This company has been doing this for a few years.

From their web site:

In early March 2002 at "Bike Week" in Daytona Beach, Florida, the company gained international exposure when they provided the Farewell Ride for the late Karl "Big Daddy Rat" Smith of the famed Rats Hole Chopper Shows.
