Morbid Joyriding, Anyone?

For the first time in over 36 years, you might see more hearses in Malta.

In the past three decades, the government hasn't granted a single license for a hearse, leaving only the existing 11 licenses for the entire country. The Maltese Transport Ministry is calling for a more liberal dispersion of such licenses to avoid a cartel. Competition is healthy, and the cost of transportation for funerals will lower to a more tolerable level.

So while you may not be able to afford living in Malta with the rising cost of living, dying there might become a bit more economical...
