The green funeral movement just got a major mobility upgrade — in the form of a sleek, beautifully-designed bicycle hearse now travelling the streets of Paris. The Corbicyclette was commissioned by the founder of funeral company Le Ciel & La Terre (Heaven and Earth) by the French adventure caravan company Carpate-Design.
“According to Le Ciel & La Terre, the hearse is anchored to the platform of an electrically assisted steel three-wheeled bicycle, the airtight compartment intended to accommodate the coffin is made of solid, light, natural and environmentally friendly marine plywood,” reports Momentum Magazine.
