What If She Used The Bus

Or perhaps the trains instead?

Mom?s corpse is my co-pilot
German nabbed driving body across country to save mortuary transport cost

Updated: 2:45 a.m. ET April 25, 2006
BERLIN - A 53-year-old German woman who was driving her dead mother across country to save on mortuary transportation costs was fined by police for disturbing a dead person's peace.

"You're not allowed to transport dead people in your private car," said Ralf Schomisch, police spokesman in Koblenz, where the car was found after a tip-off from a mortuary.

"The corpse was on the back seat without a seat belt, which in this case didn't really matter. But it was covered up with clothing. It is a misdemeanor."

He said the woman, who was not identified, was charged with violating burial laws and disturbing a dead person's peace. She would face a modest fine, Schomisch said.

The woman had already driven 450 kilometers (280 miles) after picking up the body from a mortuary in the northern city of Bremerhaven. She wanted to bury her mother, who died of natural causes at age 90, in her hometown, Daun.

I mean, it does say that it is illegal to transport dead people in your "private car" [img]eek.gif[/img] So I suggest that next time she use public transportation [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img] Maybe even hail a cab or maybe even a horse drawn carraige or a rickshaw [img]graemlins/hmmm.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/sure.gif[/img]
Still, the bus is probably gonna be the cheapest way to go, although more people could be moved at once on a train [img]graemlins/whatever.gif[/img]

And lets hope this guy never mixes up his deliveries [img]eek.gif[/img]

Man Delivers Pizzas, Corpses In Same Vehicle

Driver No Longer Has Either Job

FEASTERVILLE, Pa. -- A pizza deliveryman stopped by police told officers that he was delivering pizzas in the same station wagon he used to ferry bodies for a mortuary transport service.
Police said 24-year-old William Bethel Jr. was stopped last Friday in suburban Philadelphia driving a station wagon with an expired inspection certificate. While checking the vehicle, police noticed a stretcher in the rear and asked what purpose it served.
Police said Bethel told them that although he was delivering pizzas for a major pizza chain, he also "transports deceased bodies in the same vehicle." The car was impounded and Bethel was cited for driving with a suspended or revoked license and without a certificate of inspection.
Bethel said it was the first time the vehicle had been used for both purposes. He said he had been called to fill in at the restaurant, and because his car was in the shop, he had taken the wagon. The car owner said he was fired and the restaurant manager said he resigned.

County and state health officials said there is no law against delivering a body and food in the same vehicle.

You know, amybe he could tie the two together.
With every body delivered, you could get a pizza for $9.99 [img]graemlins/whatever.gif[/img]
