Rolling to the Grave: Paris Funeral Home Offers Bicycle Hearse
A Parisian funeral home director believes her hearse-carrying cargo bike will make funerals more quiet and peaceful.
Isabella Plumereau calls her unusual cargo bike the “Corbicyclette.” The word is a portmanteau of the French words for bicycle and hearse. It’s a fitting description because that’s exactly what the Corbicyclette is.
“The Corbicyclette is a proposal … of a new ritual,” says Plumereau in the video, “to be able to make a slow, silent, quiet procession, to the rhythm of the steps of the people who walk and who make the procession.”
Intrigued, or just love cargo bikes in general? Give it a watch.
