An undertaker from Scotland who has the angel of death carrying a scythe and a briefcase printed onto his personalised number plate, has caused a bit of an uproar with some people taking offence to the number plate, while others see the funny side of it.
He sees it as a light hearted way of going about his business, which at time can get people down.
Les Boyce, 33, of John Roach Funeral Services in Johnstone, Scotland, said, "My son-in-law gave me the plates a few weeks ago and I put them on as a joke.
"It's not as if it was a picture of a skull and crossbones. Everyone who knows me will know the image on my registration plate wasn't ever meant to be serious."
"If I didn't have a sense of humour I'd go off my head."
"The last thing I want to do is cause offence and I apologise if I have upset anyone.
"It wasn't my intention to cause harm or grief. It was meant as a light-hearted joke."
However there is a concern that the people that he visits to arrange the funeral details might be offended by the number plate, but it has to be said that are they really going to be taking any notice of what is on an undertaker’s number plate?
