Rita Tinina, a veteran journalist, passed away on Wednesday last week. Her body was taken from Umash Funeral Home to Noosupeni farm Olokirikirai in Narok County, where she will be buried.
Rita's girlfriends requested for her body to be transported in a black Range Rover hearse.
According to NTV senior reporter Duncan Khaemba, Rita was scheduled to celebrate her 46th birthday on Thursday with her girlfriends. Khaemba made this revelation during her requiem mass on Monday.
Sadly, Rita's passing prevented those plans from going through, so her besties decided to honor her by having her coffin driven in a Range Rover hearse.

"Rita and her girlfriends had planned a road trip in a Range Rover. The forefronts being Judy, Qz, Njambi, and Njeri, have asked the family to fulfill that end of the bargain, so they hired a Range Rover Hearse to have that final road trip with Rita. Unfortunately, it will be from the morgue to her home in Narok," Khaemba stated.
In a motorcade, a black Range Rover hearse with Rita's casket is visible beneath its raised wings and a front covered in v-shaped flowers.
Afterward, though, there seemed to be a car swap for unknown reasons.
Family, friends, national government representatives, politicians, and colleagues from media outlets will all attend Tinina's farewell.
On March 17, Tinina was discovered deceased in her Kileleshwa neighborhood home in Nairobi. Her death from severe pneumonia was reported in the autopsy report.
Her daughter, who is eight years old, survives her.
