💀 Behind the Screams: The Story of the Necropolis Bus Company
The story begins in the 19th century with the Necropolis Bus Company, London’s original funeral transport service. These so-called “Carcass Coaches” carried the deceased, pallbearers, and up to 52 mourners (no standing!) to their final resting place. When the driver’s whistle blew, passersby would remove their hats and bow their heads in solemn respect.

Today’s Ghost Bus pays homage to this eerie heritage. Painted in midnight black, it’s fitted with railway-style seating and vintage lamps, with curtained windows that were once drawn to prevent a spirit from becoming trapped in its own reflection — or to keep the bodies cool during the warmer months.
