Oregon funeral home offers tricycle hearse

Funeral director Wade Lind says he got the idea from bikers and designed pedal-powered hearse himself. It has an electric motor to give him a little help hauling the casket.

The Sunset Hills Cemetery and Funeral Home in Eugene, Oregon, offers natural burials where the ride to the final resting place is on the back of a tricycle.

Funeral director Wade Lind says he got the idea from bikers and designed pedal-powered hearse himself. It has an electric motor to give him a little help hauling the casket.

Lind has cycled five bodies so far and there’s a waiting list for the service. The ride and a bamboo casket that looks like a basket costs about $3,500.
