I don’t know what’s more bizarre in this article. The fact that people want to get ferried to their final resting place in a Rolls-Royce or coming to know that there is a expo for funeral homes. With no disrespect, but the dead won’t even know they are in the world’s most expensive hearse and who attends a funeral home expo?

Well for the most of us, sending our loved ones to the cemetery is usually a quiet, depressing and modest event. This extremely stretched Rolls-Royce Phantom Hearse just screams flamboyant. The only people I think fit for this is either Michael Jackson or Steve Jobs, but sadly both have expired.

This near seven metre vehicle is set to be unveiled at the Tan Expo funeral home show in Bologna, Italy. This Phantom variant is the longest ever produced. Interestingly the inappropriately named rear  “suicide doors” have been retained for accompanying relatives while incorporating a large rear cargo area for the dearly departed.

The builder Biemme Special Cars, claim the stretched vehicle's tail is constructed entirely of aluminum using over 600 assembled parts and over 650 feet of welding. The standard 6.75-litre V12 engine with 453hp is untouched.The builders have not released an official pricing as yet but it is estimated to be more than €500 million (S$ 838,000).

I’ve never really imaged what my last ride would be, but even if I infinite amounts of extra cash, I still wouldn’t want to be remembered as” the guy who died in style”.
