Ride or die: British couple takes converted hearse on 500-mile road trip

Shannon Orr, 24, and Iain Cameron, 31, drove from Warrington, Cheshire, around the scenic route in Scotland.

Their eye-catching black vehicle, nicknamed the Grim Sleeper, prompted so much interest they started an Instagram account for it.

The couple bought the 1998 Volvo 960 Hearse already converted, for about $4,800 after seeing an ad on Facebook.

Their two dogs, Billy and Peanut, joined them on the jaunt.

"We weren't looking for anything we were originally going to camp whilst on the NC500 but we saw it on Facebook and had to get it, because it was something neither of us had seen before," Orr said.

They've added Halloween figures on the dash, the ducks on the wing mirrors and the skeletons on the front and back.

"We are planning to buy more to convert ourselves in the future as well as hiring this one out," Orr said. "We plan to use it for all our future road trips, up to now we haven't planned where we are going next. But I'm sure it'll attract a lot of attention where ever we go."

Orr said it was no different from a normal car to drive, except for sticking out in parking spaces.

"I think with it being a hearse it puts people off due to its previous passengers but it just works so well as a camper if you can get past that part," she said.
