Very Cool! as someone who is in the biz, I can't understand why there aren't more specialized funeral service vehicles. (I suspect cost) - In Britain you can get these:

But, more relevantly for North America - many funeral homes also have limo companies - why those limo companies don't also have classic cars and classic hearses - complete restomods with new engines and AC? I suspect there would be lineups of gearhead families wanting to use them - particularly in larger urban centres.

(Funny story: years ago when female funeral directors were still comparatively rare, I was doing a funeral as as we were making our way to the cemetary and said female was driving the hearse. In the family car, one of the grown children dissolved into laughter - tears running down his face he turned to his very confused siblings and said, "Well, Dad always said that if he had to go he wanted to go in a Caddy with a blonde in it!" )

keep the pics coming!

I asked PJ (whose family owns the funeral home)
if they had jokes,etc.,that they tell among themselves.
I've heard of one funeral worker who had a tee shirt
that read "I SEE DEAD PEOPLE"

don't exactly want to give funeral procession a 'thumbs up' but, looks dignified

One of my close friends had a funeral home in Ridgeway Ontario. He found, and restored, both the original horse drawn coach, and a 1919 Reo coach. I am not sure if he kept them when he retired and sold the business. The name was Williams Funeral Home, Fort Erie Ontario.

so two tidbits of humour from me.
My friend, who owned the funeral home suggested we co-own a hearse. put a personal license on it, and a natural gas sign that said "call before you dig" P.S. my last name is Graves
And, while on the subject, family gatherings are when you are surrounded by Graves and not in a cemetary
I'll go to my room now
