Rev Paul Sinclair and Robbie Coltrane on ITV

Robbie Coltrane's B Road Britain

Robbie was impressed by the standards of our construction, our faster funerals and he also visited our MD's Biker Service. He used to ride a BSA M20 with a sidecar himself.  This popular TV programme is now available in his book and on DVD.

Help for Journalists on Biker Funerals

As well as Motorcycle Funerals we also serve at Biker Funerals.
Dignity & Respect are shown at all Biker Funeral Services UK-Wide
Bikers regularly use our sidecar hearses out of respect for the deceased

Our bikes are not trikes/tricycles they are bikes/authentic motorcycles
Our hearses are purpose built UK spec hearses, not adapted sidecars
This is literally the only UK fleet of actual motorbike hearses
These are recognised by DVLA as '2-wheel hearse'

Our enclosed hearses are UK design, UK built, UK standards and patented
They are not American owned or imported but do carry American Caskets
Elsewhere you'll find sidecar boats, coffins etc. and open platforms
Yes, we really do build them here in the Midlands

Our Managing Director began his ministry at Kensington Temple in 1989
His first site was launched in 1997 and this site in 1999
We became a company in 2002. The first ever in the UK

and for journalists trailing behind...

A trailer towed behind a trike on North of England TV is now owned by this company. A trailer being tugged behind a trike is obviously is not a motorcycle hearse, it's a trailer, but we do keep it on display to show the history of biker funerals. The idea of towing people away never took off in the UK, but it is history nonetheless and deserves preservation.

 

We are grateful to all journalists who ensure tasteful, thoughtful and sensitive media coverage in the press, national, international & regional television and radio.
