And you don't do it for a living.

I picture GD as the type.

By the way, for those that are dumb, a hearse is a funeral car that transports the deceased.

Lol, in for the responses

There's a guy in my old neighborhood that does. Even has some fake skeletons hanging in the windows.

Or busting ghosts.

One of my employees still has one, but I don't let him drove it to work.


Wanted to start his own company named "Stiff as a board Construction".

When I was in the Corps, one of the guys in my Battalion drove one for his whole enlistment I think.  It was strange.

There was a guy in San Jose in the 80's who had one with skulls on the dash and a plate that read "BODY TOW". Usually blasting Slayer when I saw him.

my wife didn't even want me to park it in our driveway

I do not, but a friend in high school did.

My parents used to be friends with a family who lived in an old school.  It was in bad shape and their plan was to fix it all over time.  Was a small school as school's go but....massive "house".  Had the gym with a full basket ball court, all the lockers in the halls, big ass boiler for heat etc.  Each of the kids picked a classroom that became their bedroom.

Haven't seen them in a long time but they still live there last I knew.

Buddy of mine has a 66 Cadillac hearse, License plate is RU Next.

I don't, but I rode in the back of one once.

Passed by a salvage yard that had one up on a pole for advertising. Sign said "used body parts" if I remember correctly. So wrong. Smh.

Wow man, its got 737 hubcaps.

my brother and his buddy had one like this for a couple years:




Link broke; 1966 Cadillac Hearse

I used to own an 84 Superior but sold it about 10 years ago

Go on.

I used to sit in traffic next to a guy, almost daily, who had a skeleton wearing a tuxedo in a Hearse.  He (the driver) would always wear hawaiian shirts.  All of the windows except driver and passenger and windshield had curtains on them.  One day I saw him coming out of where he worked.... The hospital near my office.  

Dean Moon ftw

NO just dumb!!!    Really??? Attached File

Ambulance, not a herse ;)

EDIT: Yes I read OP, but hearses bring back good memories of my dad.

My dad had a hearse business for about a decade.  He had been retired for about 5 years when he got a call from a friend from church.  Friend asked if he had a suit and could he ready in about 10 min. The friend had a hearse business and his driver was pulled over by police, had a warrant, and was arrested.  Police left the hearse and a body on the side of the road.  My dad started driving a hearse off and on for a couple of years.

The friend sold the business to my dad for 10K.  I was basically one beat up hearse, a name, and a phone number.  After about 5 years my dad bought a second hearse. At first he hired illegals from his church to maintain the vehicles and assist with parking.  Illegals were constantly unreliable, so he hired a couple of parolees.  They were sober, more dependable, and spoke English.  He did not have a funeral director's license, so all he could do was transport the body.

Most "fancy" places charge between $1500 - 1200 for each transport.  My dad had low income clients, $400 - $600 per trip.  Lots of trips to the hood.  He also had a lot of vets who had little or no means. Sometimes he let families pay in food, yard work, and the occasional firearm.

Most of his work was on weekends and he would stop by house for lunch or dinner.  My neighbors would peer out the windows wondering who died at my house.  Even better was going to restaurants where people would mover their cars so a hearse could park.

My dad got parkinson's and couldn't run the business anymore.  He sold both hearses and I think they are still running today.  He passed away last year. My dad wanted to pass his business on to me, but I didn't have the energy he had to do 10 to 12 runs a week.

That's actually really cool but I bet the cost of utilities would be insane. Heating and cooling schools, especially an old one... I bet they had space heaters and window units in every room, if they even had that.

Still, some of the old 30s-70s era schools around here that just sit vacant are pretty cool buildings, they're just more or less useless nowadays.

I do, but I need to find a new body every few days so I can use the carpool lane. They don’t last long.

ETA that’s a joke BTW

I've thought about buying one for a DD many a time.  Is it possible to bolt some seats into the second row, or any farther back?

Friend of mine had one, gave me a ride home from work. I rode in the back and at weird times in traffic I sat up and waved at people.

We need a like button

I knew a guy in the 90's that made one into a kind of limo thing it was weird.

My roommate when I lived in Austin in '96 drove one. He was a mechanic.

I would definitely love to own this one...

Most of the local old timers knew Pee Wee Gaskins, including my dad. He drove around in an old hearse. They say they’d make jokes with him at the gas station about whether he had a body in the back. Turns out, sometimes he did.
