THE UK’s first all-electric hearse is now helping people in Oxfordshire to reach their destination in an environmentally-friendly way.
The eco-friendly vehicle is available at 16 Midcounties Co-operative Funeral homes including Oxford, Banbury, and Bicester, helping people to honour the responsible choices made by their loved ones during life.
The Nissan Leaf Hearse was developed and built by Brahms Electric Vehicles. Adapted from the original Nissan Leaf, the hearse features a large glass panel on the passenger side in place of doors and can travel over 100 miles on a single charge.
