“A businessman has given a hearse a psychedelic makeover in his bid to beat the recession. Matthew Shuter told how he bought the 1989 Daimler after spotting a gap in the market for funky funerals. He said: ‘The Woodstock generation is now dying out. They really lived a colorful life – they wouldn’t want to go to their funeral in a boring black hearse. ‘It’s a recession proof business opportunity for funky funerals.’ Mr Shuter, 54, from Somerset, now plans to auction the vehicle on eBay, at a reserve of $7,500 – and he claims people are already starting to show interest.” w/ photos
