Picture of a coffin-carrying hearse trying to 'visit KFC and Starbucks' posted on Twitter

Twitter user Craig Davies said the driver gave up and moved on to Starbucks

Twitter user Craig Davies claims to have taken this photo of a hearse at the drive-through of a fast-food restaurant

The driver of hearse carrying a coffin has allegedly been spotted attempting to place an order at a drive-through fast-food restaurant.

Twitter user Craig Davies tweeted a photo at around 10.20am on Tuesday apparently showing the driver trying to enter the KFC drive-through.

He posted the hashtag “#itswhathewouldhavewanted” alongside the image.

According to Mr Davies, the driver of the hearse was forced to abandon their attempt to buy from the fast-food chain because their vehicle was too wide.

Mr Davies reportedly told The Metro that the driver instead visited a nearby branch of the coffee shop Starbucks, perhaps because it had a wider entrance for vehicles.

While some users have questioned whether the photo was staged, Mr Davies said it truly shows a hearse in a drive-through, and has expressed his disbelief.

Mr Davies is yet to respond to enquiries surrounding where the branches of KFC and Starbucks are located.
