An unusual-looking shipment motorcycle is making an attempt to shake up the funeral industry in France.
The ‘Corbicyclette’, a mash-up of the french phrases for hearse and bicycle, is the brainchild of Isabelle Plumereau.
She runs a small funeral house known as ‘The Sky and the Earth’ in Paris.
Her new shipment motorcycle is designed to take full-sized coffins, within the position of conventional, motor-driven hearses.
“The Corbicyclette is a proposal for families that I accompany with a new ritual, especially at the cemetery,” says Plumereau, including it permits for “a slow, silent, quiet procession, to the rhythm of the steps of the people who walk behind and who make the procession.”
“I am as attached to the form as to the content,” she endured. “For me, it is very important to accompany the families by proposing to them to put meaning in the ceremony, but also by proposing to them to put beauty. Because beauty is what will also bring comfort.”
Isabelle’s corporate hopes to combine sustainable ideas into the funeral trade.
Similar ‘Corbyiclettes’ exist already within the United States and Denmark.
Her model is 2 metres lengthy and has electrical help, which permits it to take on steeper roads. This shipment motorcycle will be the first in France and its services and products must be to be had this fall.
