JCB fan Melvin Baker is carried to his funeral in his coffin in the bucket of a JCB. See SWNS story SWDIGGER; A pensioner’s dying wish was granted after making his funeral procession in a JCB digger. Great-grandfather Melvin Baker, 79, told friends and family he wanted to be taken to his final resting place in his favourite form of transport. His former boss, builder Keith Bell, arranged for a digger to lead the precession from his family home to the church and crematorium. Mourners lined the route as Mr baker passed by as the coffin sat of the tipping bucket of the JCB.
