" Traditional leader Tshekede Pitso had his very own highway to heaven after his family honoured his final wish to be buried inside his trusty Mercedes Benz.
Chief Pitso, 72, was driven to his final resting place on the back of a trailer dressed in his favourite white suit with both his hands attached to the steering wheel.
Then, funeral directors guided the 1990s E500 Mercedes down ramps and into the 'grave', which had been specially dug out by an excavator to eight feet deep.
The former businessman and married father-of-six was then laid to rest with an official religious ceremony at the family funeral plot at their home in South Africa. "
