Mourning News 39

Posted in CHR News on June 24th, 2009 by admin

Issue 39 has now been posted out, but please bear in mind with postal disruptions they may be delayed.
Inside are show reports, members cars & hearse trikes

The classifieds & wanted can be seen on it’s own page by clicking on the link to the right. Members vehicles, the Mortuary & an improved links list are now online.

Please note there is now a page solely for our hearse book complete with a UK ONLY Paypal link. Other regalia to follow later.

Look out for Classic Car Weekly on Thursday 29th October – they are doing a hearse buying guide.

Hi everyone, thank you for visiting the CHR’s website, please feel free to have a look around in the above areas and let us know your thoughts; we hope you enjoy it and the fact you are here reading this hopefully points to you having an interest in these lovely, majestic vehicles. Naturally this site is devoted to the British funeral car, the styling of which is in general long, tall and with huge side windows and in most cases the bearers ride inside with the coffin, how British!

Why the interest you may ask? You have to look past their original sombre funereal purpose to what lies beneath; the stylish coachbuilt bodywork, the ornate chrome flower rails and filigree, the polished wood of the deck and the distinctive Black paintwork. These beautiful, ignored vehicles have been around since transport began and always will be and whether at a show or in the street, they demand attention & respect but remember, love them or loathe them you will one day ride in one!
