Harley Hearse For Hog Faithful

Some people don’t think a lot about what happens after they croak, while others obsess about it to the extent that they choose their death suit, the type of flowers and headstone, hire professional mourners and even subject those left behind to cringing pop music at the service.

It’s not often however, that you find something this specific. This is the £50,000 Harley hearse, the Kasiyan. The ornate, three-wheeled carriage is a replica of 19th century horse-drawn carriage and is pulled by a custom-built Harley Road King Classic, all so that hog fanatics will never have to compromise their obsession by riding in a Japanese-built hearse. The shame.

Caskets up to 39in wide can be carried, which is just as well considering the average waist size of most Harley riders.
