“The Rocket” trike hearse

Many bikers want a funeral to be a celebration of their life rather than a mourning of their death, and to take their final journey in a hearse that reflects their passion in life. Midlands Co-operative’s Rocket hearse lets bike lovers choose a send-off in a style that mirrors the way they lived - not in a sidecar or trailer but on a custom-designed, built-for-speed motorcycle.

The Rocket is a bespoke motorcycle hearse built in partnership with DTB Panther Trikes in Liversedge. The vehicle has a unique Triumph Rocket engine capable of speeds of up to 100mph. It is a very special vehicle with a pedigree background, and we are proud to offer this service not just to bikers but to anyone wishing something different for their funeral.

For more information about the Rocket, or to reserve it for your loved one's funeral, call Richard White at Midlands Co-operative Society Ltd on 07773 777555.
