The Hearse
The hearse is styled after the horse-drawn carriages used in the old west. The carriage can transport standard and oversized caskets, as well as urns for cremation ceremonies.
Our hand-built, American-made motorcycle hearse provides you with a dignified alternative to the traditional motor hearse that you will remember as long as your loved one.
Our paint matching 2014 Harley-Davidson Tri-Glide trike is used to pull the carriage from the Funeral Home to the cemetery or any other final resting place chosen by the client.
What to Expect
We are proud to offer the absolute finest custom motorcycle hearse, built and maintained with an attention to detail second to none.
The Motorcycle Hearse of Kentucky will arrive to the funeral site clean and ready to serve, often being trailered in our enclosed trailer.
Our drivers are dressed in traditional attire, including black pants, white dress shirt, vest and black boots. They have been carefully selected not just for their motorcycle experience, but more so for their exceptional attention to detail and their passion in creating meaningful memories for families.
If there is a special road or place they loved to ride, we would be honored to take them down that stretch of road they enjoyed so much, one last time.
Please contact us for any and all questions.
