Man buried in campervan - Campervan insurance

Posted : 10-09-2008

A Bredbury campervan enthusiast has been buried in a coffin shaped like his favourite vehicle, it has been reported.

George Pennington, 75, was buried in a cardboard replica of a recreational vehicle, which will probably not need campervan insurance, following his death from a brain tumour in August, according to the Stockport Express.

His daughter, Paula, said campervanning was her father's "life" and he went for a camping trip after he was diagnosed with the condition.

Commenting on the unique coffin, she told the newspaper: " If more people knew about this they would have a similar funeral or a cardboard coffin, which is environmentally friendly.

"I am going to do the same for my funeral."

She also revealed the ceremony did not use a traditional hearse and instead opted for a Benimar campervan to bring the coffin to the service.

According to crazycoffins.co.uk, people can be buried in a range of designs, including rubbish skips, eggs and guitars.
