Over here in Holland we used to have a lot of Cadillac hearses, but unfortunately they are being replaced by Mercedes hearses, most of them based on the Mercedes E-class wagons. I once knew a guy who had gone bankrupt and died a few months afterwards. At his funeral I overheard somebody joking "How the hell can he afford to ride in a Cadillac?".

Some weeks ago there was a hearse parked near a cemetary in Germany. In the dark early morning hours some people heared knocking sounds from the back of the hearse and someone was yelling "Help! Let me out!" from inside. So they called the police. It turned out that the driver who was supposed to bring a dead body to his hometown some hundred kilometers away arrived late at night at the cemetary after driving for hours. Since he did not know where to find a hotel he decided to take a nap in the back of his own hearse. Little did he know that the door could not be opened from the inside...

Thats a funny story! When I was a body collector we ran minivans. Our owner was cheap but to think there are people out there that are SO CHEAP that they would use rental vehicles for such a task, that's super shady to me. I mean, we would pick up like shotgun suicides or 3 week old hanging victims... to think that type of "gore" could have been present in a rental van, that's super shady. To be honest though, the dead are dead and there is money to be made there, not to be crass. In my area during my time as a body collector, crematoriums are probably the most disrespective facets of the death industry. Some of the ones I delivered to would just have a big room were we would literally stack the bodies in cardboard coffins. Just scribble the name and dates and some other info on the box before piling them up in the corner to be incinerated when the next truck came through the gather them all.

When my time comes I want to be in a turbocharged, straight piped hearse with an obnoxiously loud atmospheric blow off valve, a pops and bang overrun map and a welded diff so the driver can do a reverse entry four wheel drift into the graveyard.

The leader of my church youth group many years ago, Father Fred (not his real name, but I don't want to talk about him without his permission), was a massive car enthusiast and both he and his father were incredibly talented mechanics. Anyway, Father Fred had a morbid sense of humor (in the best possible way) and, last I heard (he moved before I ever got to see it finished) he was building a 1950s hearse into a hot rod with a supercharged big block. He said 600+ horsepower was the target. It was airbrushed with "Dr. Death" on the sides, and seriously epic. Side note - Father Fred became a priest after crashing his sportbike in the rain and becoming paralyzed from the waist-down for months, then regaining his ability to walk and a few months later having a revelation about it all. He was a cool guy!

I currently own two classic Cadillac Hearses. A 1953 Miller Meteor 3 way, and a 1968 Miller Meteor Hearse. Back in the 2000s, we had a local Hearse club called The Jacksonville Deadsleds, in Jacksonville, Florida. Myself and another close friend were co- Presidents. We had a beer coolef made from a steel rental casket, and a BBQ grille made from another. Monthly meetings would land 10- 18 Hearses at my or Tommy's homes. The looks we got. Took them to car meets, cruises, etc. Now, due to the high cost of a new Hearse, most Funeral homes get them in a lend-lease program, so they can regularly update the models. Ohio is still the manufacturing mecca for Hearses, with Miller Meteor, S&S coach works, among many others. Hearses are hand built, American automobiles, that are low mile, well maintained used cars. No one has died in them, that is reserved for Ambulances. In the earlier decades, if you were in a small town with not alot of money, you purchased a Combination Hearse/Ambulance. They have removable panels over the back side windows where the Landau bars hang. And it's not like Hearses are used for daily mundane tasks like shopping, just driving around, and they rarely see highway miles, so they are a great investment! Do yourself a favor and buy one while you can still drive it, as opposed to it just being your last ride...

My uncle did too. He built it into a sleeper 1/4 mile car. He also used it for his Halloween parties and had it set up with all of the beer iced down in the back. When you opened the back door to get a beer, a crash test dummy would fling up out of a coffin, which freaked out a lot of people the first time. It was pretty cool.

Awesome topic for a video, I appreciate it! I used to be a body collector. I worked for a third party company that was hired to be on call for county medical exmainers and funeral homes. We had some hearses for rent for funeral homes that either couldn't afford their own or had such a high volume that they needed additional vehicles. Our main fleet however consisted of Grand Caravans and Town & Country minivans. Their size and ride height is perfect for use with gurneys and stretchers. We had one Ram Sprinter style van but if you had someone that weighed a few hundred pounds, it was a nightmare to load the corpses in that van. Living in Metro Detroit, the minivans also handled very well in snow even without AWD. I HAAAAAATE minivans with a severe passion but in this instance they were perfect. The interiors were designed in a way that makes them easy to clean out any gore that might spill out from a shotgun suicide to the face. The rear passenger roll down side windows were nice to air out the vans after traveling a couple of hours with a 3 week old decomp laying behind you. Most of the funeral homes we worked with also had their own fleet of minivans they would use during normal business hours. To be clear, the minivans were used for body transport BEFORE the funeral. Once in a while we would encounter people that hated the fact that their family member's corpse was being taken away by a minivan, namely rich people (hearses are reserved for funerals, not initial collection of the body). Other more humble folks wouldn't be bothered. In fact one family I will never forget... they said their father (who I was there to collect) loved going for night rides in his car. They asked that I open the body bag on the way to the morgue so that he could have one last night ride. I am a die hard car enthusiast so I DEFINATELY could relate to that. So I unzipped the bag and him and I had a nice hour long night drive to his final destination.

I've always wanted to own a hearse since I was about 8 years old. This video is giving me an insight of the history of my life long dream car.

When I die, just make me into composed that you put into a flower, and basically have an altar with flowers, or make me into a diamond, or if you want bury me just put my casket on an F-150, and get done with it, no police escort.

Good video! I am a bit surprised there was no shot of the Jag XKE hearse in 'Harold and Maude'. Anyway, thanks. Was fun and informative.

A guy in my neighborhood had a hearse as his daily driver. He kept an empty casket in the back and would let kids climb around in it on Halloween.

PT Crusier! it already looks like a short Hearse anyway!

When I was in college, I worked at a car rental agency. The local cemetery started renting panel vans from us when theirs broke down. We assumed it was for landscaping. Nope. Forgot their casket rollers in the back, twice. They were using them to transport bodies from the local funeral homes to the cemetery's crematorium. It was creepy, but not against the rules. So yeah, I can legitimately say I've driven a hearse, just not intentionally. Imagine thinking your loved one is being taken to their final resting place in a luxury vehicle, but instead they get a GMC Savanna that says "rent me for $20/day" in cheery letters on the side.

The rental vans were most likely not carrying bodies to the cemetery, just transporting the bodies from the morgue to the funeral home

when I was in high skool 1983 my buddy had a yellow with black interior 1959 Cadillac hearse with a mild built 500 cubic inch topped with a blower, Cragar mags, limo tinted windows, blacked out chrome & yes the coffin was in the back! That thing was loud, fast & bad ass

Lol, love your thought process. We had a Caddy XLS hearse when I was a body collector and I HAAATED how it looked so yeah probably un popular opinion but very clever lol.

My dad used to have a late 60's early 70's Pontiac Bonneville Hearse before I was born. Had a mattress and tv in the back because my parents and 2 older siblings used to take it camping! I've honestly wanted one since I was a kid (I'm 41 now) just to have something unique

Holden motor works and GMH holden did build some 'factory' hearses in various guises the 1930s to the 1960s. Noted were 2 Buicks with an extended chassis, standard front doors and grills being the only Buick parts. The whole body was bespoke by Holden for the customer. Strangely, one had a 53 grille, the other a 54 grille. To get to the other side fast, a straight 8 engine with a 3 speed. The 53 has been in a shed for about 25 years and still drives on old cross-ply tyres. Still with original paint, glass, timber, a rebuilt engine. The guy who owns it used it as his work and surf wagon from the late 60s to the 80s. Also, My father in law built several Holden factory hearses in the 1960s, I think they were EJs. My dads F100 served as a hearses on several occasions, as did the local fire truck and a couple of land rovers, small bush town with no hearses, but plenty of 🐎. To think I also spent hundreds of hours on my own in the back of that old F truck. 🙃 Also, Hiller, an Australian company, specialises in and builds and exports hearses world wide, with some clients shipping cars from overseas to have them built.

I own two (retired) hearses at the moment. One is a 1980 Chevrolet Caprice wagon, and the other one is a 1976 Dodge Coronet. Here, American wagons were used as hearses, as they were long enough to be used without any modifications, so just the roller slide for the coffin in the back was added, and they were good to go. Volvos and Mercedeses have to be lengthened, and as such were much more expensive. My chevy looks lika any wagon in black, but the Dodge is in the museum registry as a hearse, and stll has the roller in the back. The outside is not modified, but for the little flag pole on the left fender. And no, I’m not a hearse enthusiast by any means, but these cars have been very well looked after with low miles

This was dope. More videos like this please 😊

Was down the freeway the other day and saw a hearse doing something 85 on a 60 limit road. Man was in a hurry to get rid of the body 😂

Buick also made funeral coaches as well from 1978-1989 out of a Lesabre Estate wagon and Chevrolet Caprice had one from 1985-1989. These are rare models

My cousin (funeral director) says you can get 16 inches added on to a mini van, have a vinal top put on, and chrome scrolls on the sides for a fraction of the cost elogating a Caddy, and no leaks of brake fluid and gas. So that's why smaller funeral homes are going to them. Over half funerals are cremated, so half don't even get buried.

I work for a funeral directors in the UK, and thankfully, we still call it the funeral business, and refer to hearses as hearses.

Someone brought a Mercedes branded hearse to my auto detail shop and 2 of my coworkers started crying because it was the same hearse that was used to transport their mom. My boss gave told them they can stand away from working on it.... Both of them decided to still work on it and it came out of the shop with extreme care and respect

Nolan: “Why can’t we just use a fancy pickup?” Prince Philip: 👀👀

Having worked in the death care industry, I greatly appreciate the research y'all did into the 'proper' terminology. One or two tidbits worth pointing out: - Not every funeral home has their own coach. Some contract with a company to provide coach services on demand, this reduces overhead and up-front cost. The company I was with specialized in body removal (and were responsible for about 90% of the market) and provided coaches to 75-80% of all the funeral homes in the area. - The death care industry can be extremely exploitative, and I sincerely appreciate that y'all mentioned this. There is a movement amongst some to change that, but it's a long-standing issue in the industry and it's been driven by takeovers of locally/family owned funeral homes by larger conglomerates like SCS Corp.

new to this channel, i must admit that advert for the hat made me laugh out loud.... good work guys..

A friend of my mom was a carpenter and used a hearse as his company car. It was perfect for transporting wooden planks.

People: if you know you are driving to your death, would you drive fast? Arne Toman: Yes.

I remember when my dad and I went down to the town of Macclenny, Florida a few years ago. We were actually down there for my grandpa's memorial service and a separate viewing. They were not related to the point of this story however. One day, we were parked in our rental car when a funeral procession passed by on the street in front of us. We watched as we saw several cars with guests go by. None of them were dressed for a funeral though. Very casual dress. My dad and I thought "But where's the body being kept?" Then, we saw a white van with a big window sticker of the curved bar on the side and I thought "It's gotta be in there." Two more cars passed by, and then we saw it. The casket was in the back of a pickup truck that was just barely too short for it. It was surrounded by a group of guys, most of whom were wearing flannels and ball caps, holding onto it to make sure it didn't slide out.

Editing is on point

Back in the day ambulances were also elaborate Cadillacs, but mostly just for taking patients to the hospital, not for any triage. I had a '63 Cadillac M&M Combo that had been a rescue vehicle for the Henderson County, TN Rescue Squad. It had a gumball Federal beacon, a red fender light, dual spotlight mirrors, and a 6-volt air siren mounted inside the grille. The previous owner, who lost it to the state for drug dealing, had brush-painted the car black and painted Ghostbuster emblems on the front doors and the rear hatch. It was sooooooo much fun! You found out real quick who the crazy girls were! LOL! Eventually I sold it to a guy who wanted it more than I did, but he never picked it up from my place. Eventually, I sold the property, and the next owner had it crushed :(
