Ethel Westover did not want a traditional hearse for her final journey
A former dinner lady had a "lovely jubbly" send-off when she was taken to her funeral in a yellow hearse.
The family of Ethel Westover from Lancaster, who died on 1 January, were able to grant her dying wish of being carried in a yellow Reliant Regal.
The mother-of-two, 98, was taken on her final journey on Monday in a replica of the car driven by Del Boy Trotter in BBC sitcom Only Fools and Horses.
It was supplied by Fleetwood funeral firm Only Fools and Hearses.
Mrs Westover, who lived on Watery Lane, worked at Lancaster Ryelands Primary School for many years.
Her funeral was at held at Lancaster and Morecambe Crematorium.
The Only Fools and Hearses' Reliant Regal travels all over the UK for funerals
Only Fools and Hearses claims to offer bereaved families "a totally unique Del Boy send-off, as we know the Trotters have made us cry with laughter for over 30 years".
Owner Darren Abey, 49, said he had carried out Only Fools and Horses funerals all around the UK in the last two years.
"The reaction from people is priceless," he said. "It makes everyone laugh and smile.
"It's always the worse thing waiting for the hearse to arrive, but when we turn up, it turns it into a celebration of life.
"The people always say to me they're sure their loved one is looking down and laughing.
"That's what it is all about. Life's too short."
