The saying that death and taxes are unavoidable is still very true. While some people find ways to avoid paying taxes, no one can escape death. When that unfortunate event occurs, why not depart in style with a luxurious hearse? The Italian company Biemme specializes in converting luxurious models for the journey to the afterlife, and some of the conversions are quite interesting, or should we say, unusual.

One of these conversions, named “Aymon,” is a fancy hearse made from the Mercedes CLS. Ironically, the CLS itself is no longer in production as it ended in August. The conversion maintains the rear seats and doors while adding a sizable coffin compartment with a shatterproof divider. Additionally, Biemme has reinforced the body structure with external moldings and stainless steel. It also installed a glass rear door and retained the spare wheel.
