Gemma Bouman is a young entrepreneur in the funeral industry. On her website you can read what is possible, such as funeral transport in a fully restored Volkswagen T.2 bus from 1976. Just a nice, nice car for the last ride.
The name "Beautiful person" funeral (Bedum) already indicates that Gemma wants to help with a very personal farewell. With the Volkswagen bus you can honor the wishes of the deceased. Times have changed, less and less black or gray standard cars. This new approach is innovative, something that suits a young entrepreneur. The journey to the final resting place can also be a representation of the survivor's life.
Volkswagen as a hearse
We were able to trace the history of the VW through a story from Klaas Schaft, who previously took the initiative to convert the bus. The sliding door was replaced by a hatch as used in the VW Pickup, now suitable for the portable and other materials. The windows were custom made by a specialist and the floor was outsourced to a specialist in the construction of hearses. Technically everything has been renewed. Literally every bolt and nut. The color became Rolls-Royce blue, stately, beautiful and very special.
Valuable addition
It is a valuable addition to the funeral world. More and more often people choose to fill in the last farewell in a special way. It is often an undiscussed subject until death becomes a necessity. Her mission is to make it negotiable and she wants to show that a funeral can be very valuable. Adding warmth and color makes the fear less, it brings peace in times of many emotions.
Deployment throughout the region
The Volkswagen T.2. hearse can be used throughout the region. Gemma gives guest lectures at schools, but also to adults she visits by bus. All to make the subject negotiable for young and old. For her it's about: Trust, connection, and freedom of choice.
Versatility of the VW bus
The VW already had many applications, as a travel and business car, but also as a family car and in recent years increasingly as a wedding car. Gemma has made funeral transport possible with this specially equipped Volkswagen bus for a respectful farewell.

quite nice, like being woken up dead by the coffee grinder sound. Then rather a shuffling V8 on the way to heaven!
