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?".
Didn't work out that way for either of my parents. Local funeral director converted a Chevy Tahoe for that job. 4-wheel drive! Works well in the snow belt areas east of Lake Huron. The Caddys are front wheel drive and when loaded don't work so well in the winter.
3:25 Imagine having your funeral make headlines, but not because you’re dead but just because you were the first to be carried in a motorized hearse Do we know the guy’s name? Exactly.
In Europe hearses are almost exclusively Mercedes. In Italy there's a say: "If you see me riding in a Mercedes it means that i either made it, or that i lost bad".
My first car was a Jaguar hearse. It was perfect for work and I could get a load of mates in the back after I stripped out the back and put a bench seat down 1 side.
@@hackman669 like Tezla said car auctions or the classifieds. They’re a good buy because they’ve always been looked after very well and they’re cheap because not many people want them.
I’ve worked building hearses for 17 years now, grew up wanting to work in a car assembly plant, ended up working somewhere where it’s so much more, in-house designed hand built vehicles, it’s a very interesting industry.
So I just asked this question in the comment section and was wondering if you could answer it: why don't any of the large manufacturers such as Cadillac offer/build hearses on-site (at the very least the chassis, frame, doors, etc.) at one of their plants rather than customers having to 'rebuild'/customize a new, regular car from scratch? It just seems like a lot of work and extra expense to have to do all of this? Thx

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...
In Sweden (With exceptions of course) Need a hearse? Volvo! Need a policecar? Volvo! Need a ambulance? Volvo! Need a firetruck? Volvo! *the list goes on*
My area is very different. Need a hearse? CADILLAC! Need a police car? DODGE! Need an ambulance? FORD! Need a firetruck? Loads of companies noone has ever heard of!
They did say *buddhist* funerals. Buddhism was imported from SE Asia to Japan, so it makes sense that the music sounds Hindi. Shinto funerals are probably different, maybe they use regular hearses or maybe temples on wheels as well.
My uncle rebuilt and owned a hearse in highschool. He drove away from his graduation in that ride. Pretty certain there were some dating stories out of that car!
I got passed by a hearse a while back when I was going 85 in a 65 in the slow lane passing people and some dude with a hearse flew by me going 100+ and had written on the back "you're next". To this day I don't know if its more funny or more creepy having that happen...
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.
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!
A priest who was the recipient of a miracle and then got the calling and who is now building a hotrod out of an antique hearse? Now THATS a man I'd like to meet!
Umm, so I just happened to come back to this video, there's a movie coming out called father Fred staring Marky Mark, with this exact fucking plot, are you saying you knew the guy who mark is gonna be playing?
When I was in high school in the 70’s a guy bought a used one for a few hundred bucks and built a coffin to put in the back, as I recall he didn’t get too many dates though. It was weird to see him drive around campus in that thing.
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.
I owned a 1970 Cadillac Fleetwood hearse when I was younger.. The body style shown at 6:00 when discussing the landau bar. It was so rusted out that I ended up letting it go, and it's been a massive regret of mine. Fun fact: showing your hearse to goth chicks will weed out the posers from the legit ones.
I had a 78 Fleetwood Ambulance, as the title said. Same deal. Rusted and had a busted window. Window was 600, i paid 75 for the car... And can confirm. True goth chicks get naked immediately....
I have seen a hearse in the UK that was being used by a motobike speed garage I think or it was to go out to repair their customers bikes either way it was cool, Ford Sierra I think or Vauxhall Omega it was all stickers up soo
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.

@@IsaacSmelcZhan because in that culture they don’t want death to be viewed as something tragic and sad, they want people’s moods to be lifted and be happy about “life and death” which I think is a cool way of celebrating a funeral
@@Watchdog-vf8ug death should never be sad. It is as beautiful as the life that came before it. The loss behind it is something else but that is why you remember them as they lived and not what they left behind.
Really interesting video. I am an undertaker here in England. Although, over here, the word 'hearse' is still very much in use, and the term 'funeral coach' is completely new to me! The Maserati hearse is a beauty. There are also some Tesla ones too!
@@anthonyacetta1551 Not true!! the taxes far out way the income. You mite have higher income . but not quality of life . But congratulations you are #1 for homeless.People with real wealth will never brag about it. So we know you don"t
Fun fact: because they have to have good ground clearance, and dont usually take long trips, most hearses have very small gas tanks. My 65 cadillac miller meteor had a tank that was about 10 gallons. Considering its 429 ci engine got about 6mpg it made long trips interesting.
I wouldn’t be so sure. Did you actually touch the material? If we’re told over and over that it’s leather eventually we’ll come to believe that it is. The truth is what you make it. What you want it to be. Don’t forget to send your money to “stop the steal” so we can continue to inspire MAGA people, to make them angry and confused and to achieve our #1 goal of splitting the US into two separate countries.

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.

@Jordon Carlson You're right. Part of my family was born 5 km aways from Spain. Even my surname is original from Spain. The language is really similar, however, Portuguese is easier to understand because we speak slower.
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
Herses are beautiful cars and they cost a fortune I have a lincoln and a cadillac The bar on the back is the Landou bar it was because some of the herses were convertible in the earlier days
@@JK-of6bq Back when Cadillac offered a commercial chassis (which was used for hearses, ambulances and flower cars), the owner's manuals stated that the commercial chassis (along with the Cadillac limousines) was not recommended for towing.
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.
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.
Speaking of which, it reminds me that people here have associate the station wagon as hearses, despite they're nowhere to be found, only Van Jenazah. Which kinda sucks that mentality have brought one of the reason why wagons are rare over here (wagon fan over here). Personally, these luxury car-based hearses (especially the modern) looks cool. Although Van Jenazah would be better choice over here, not only due to cheaper and easier, but also a reminder that we all the same at the end.

Unpopular opinion: Cadillac Hearses are some of the coolest shooting brakes ever made
What are shooting brakes
@@silversonic99 Like a car that wasnt originally a wagon/ hatchback that is converted into one. They usually have a long profile, more like a wagon than a hatchback. Examples: Mercedes CLS63 wagon and Ferrari GTC4 Lusso
@@silversonic99 an MPV or a minivan that is based on a car
I thought shooting brakes were two doors?
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.
"Hearses have one purpose: transportation of the dead"

ecto1 was a former ambulance not a hearse

Would the Buick Century count?
The Buick century is either a 1st car, used af when you get it, or last car that's new af while you're used up..idk what to think about that actually

A white gmc vandura with no windows
PT Crusier! it already looks like a short Hearse anyway!

Me: Why wasn't the coffin dance used???
Cultural differences. Do you even know why they dance?
@@Jukinj94 wait why do they dance???
@@IsaacSmelcZhan because in that culture they don’t want death to be viewed as something tragic and sad, they want people’s moods to be lifted and be happy about “life and death” which I think is a cool way of celebrating a funeral
@@Watchdog-vf8ug death should never be sad. It is as beautiful as the life that came before it. The loss behind it is something else but that is why you remember them as they lived and not what they left behind.
@@Jukinj94 yeah I agree
My husband is convinced that the only time he will ride in a Cadillac, he'll be dead...

Really interesting video. I am an undertaker here in England. Although, over here, the word 'hearse' is still very much in use, and the term 'funeral coach' is completely new to me! The Maserati hearse is a beauty. There are also some Tesla ones too!

Well I think it should be a Suzuki omni with a 2jz GTE with 1000 hp well Suzuki omni is a minivan of india
So did I
It should be in Gran Turismo
When I thought of "jdm hearse" I just thought of a 180SX, spoiler and all, but SUV edition and a dead person inside, just drifting around
@@blockofcheese8015 facts yoooo 😂😂🤣🤣
My friend owns a volvo 740 hearse he uses it as a drift missile
Fun fact: because they have to have good ground clearance, and dont usually take long trips, most hearses have very small gas tanks. My 65 cadillac miller meteor had a tank that was about 10 gallons. Considering its 429 ci engine got about 6mpg it made long trips interesting.
My Grandmother passed away and was transported in a hearse this morning. Thanks for the video, it really helped.
Dang that sucks. Best wishes to you and your family.
Get better man!
Sorry about your loss, feel better!
condolences man

9:35 "With red leather interior" (shows cloth interior)
i assume he meant velvet lol
I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that.
I wouldn’t be so sure. Did you actually touch the material? If we’re told over and over that it’s leather eventually we’ll come to believe that it is. The truth is what you make it. What you want it to be.
Don’t forget to send your money to “stop the steal” so we can continue to inspire MAGA people, to make them angry and confused and to achieve our #1 goal of splitting the US into two separate countries.
@@IcelanderUSer Huh?

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.
Who needs a hearse when you’ve got a Toyota truck and some bungie cords
I could have swore he was going to say "ever since dead people were invented."
I also expected him to say something like “ever since people started dying”
I'm dead
"A precursor to the hearses.... A prec-hearse-r"
Then you need a hearse!

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 you try to look scary because of Halloween but you look like a Walmart version of a Juggalo.
Whoop! Whoop!
😂😂😂😂😂 classic
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 😂
That happens when the body has been around for a while.
He was doing some side work.

There should be a funeral home that has a bunch of classic hurse's fir car enthusiasts funerals.
Funeral Coach is LITERALLY more uncomfortable wording than HEARSE! TF 🤣🤣
That's how we say it in Portuguese: "carro funerário". 😂
@Jordon Carlson Really? 😂 I'm surprised. Where are you from?
That's how my Hispanic wife says it. Portuguese and Spanish terms are very similar. Why is that?
I prefer the term corpse buggy
@Jordon Carlson You're right. Part of my family was born 5 km aways from Spain. Even my surname is original from Spain. The language is really similar, however, Portuguese is easier to understand because we speak slower.
You know, 'bier' actually means 'beer' in Dutch and German.
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.

I washed a hearse at work a couple months back it was an interesting experience
Herses are beautiful cars and they cost a fortune I have a lincoln and a cadillac The bar on the back is the Landou bar it was because some of the herses were convertible in the earlier days

I love how japan managed to make their coachs like GD camper vans!
In the UK we typically have Jaguar as our hearses, or funnily enough the Ford Mondeo. I believe I’ve seen an old Bentley too as a hearse
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.
I lived in hell and the joke "hell froze over" is way over used
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.
Florida man.
@9:50 Nolan you need new writers. How did you guy miss "your work herse"
Malaysia: what are hearses?
Cause the most common one is "Van Jenazah"
Same in Saudi Arabia
@@saman-iw9tx yes because saudi is mostly Islam
@@Nexus104 i k its my country lol even Malaysia
Speaking of which, it reminds me that people here have associate the station wagon as hearses, despite they're nowhere to be found, only Van Jenazah. Which kinda sucks that mentality have brought one of the reason why wagons are rare over here (wagon fan over here).
Personally, these luxury car-based hearses (especially the modern) looks cool. Although Van Jenazah would be better choice over here, not only due to cheaper and easier, but also a reminder that we all the same at the end.
