Australian undertaker to offer beer-as-you-bury service
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/afp/australiahearseoffbeat

SYDNEY (AFP) - An Australian undertaker is reportedly offering a beer-as-you-bury service to take some of the sting out of bereavement.

The company in Melbourne is introducing a minibus -- complete with a mini-bar, coffee and a DVD player -- in which up to 12 mourners can ride with the coffin to the cemetery, The Sydney Morning Herald reported.

"But for those who want to be together and travel with the deceased, particularly those with large families, it is a good option for them."


The new service could be popular with the Vietnamese, Chinese and Italian communities, Tobin said.
