The Haunting History of Hearses | WheelHouse | Donut Media

Are you on crack? 😮

HP is the generally accepted abbreviation for horsepower.

I think hearses were developed to add a level of dignity to the funeral and burial process; this became more necessary as often burial would be some distance from the funeral site; the history is fascinating. Your presentation is very informative as to how it developed. Interesting that later ambulances largely took on dual role of ambulances, especially in the South where funeral directors provided both services. There were some known as combinations that did double duty when needed and had removable emergency lights. Interesting that in US Lincoln has made some entrance into the market; I recall some Buicks, Pontiacs, Oldsmobiles, etc. in the past. Your information is very helpful in appreciating the fine art involved. Interesting that in the past funeral directors did not charge for the hearse a separate fee, but now they do.

ARNIE'S IRON MAIDEN HEARSE 🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🎃🎃🎃

If you live in hell 😂

Very bad

The coolest hearse by a long mile is Harold’s Jaguar V12 E Type. You can see it in the video of the song: Trouble by Cat Stevens for the classic film Harold and Maude.

in here we use vans ( like toyota hiace ) to transport dead people to the cemetery ( van jenazah )

In my town they use mini vans as hearses

In my country they actually just use any random black van.

also the Maserati hearse looks like the fiat multipla

my mom has a black 2018 caddy xts and it always reminds me of a hearse

I love that the late Prince Philip built his own hearse out of an old Land Rover.

BUFF HEARSES

This was dope. More videos like this please 😊

Someone at my school had a hearse as a daily.

WOW in 1909 a hearse cost more then it should cost a century later.
Nearly 100x what it should cost. Back then and today.

And now people do it with bicycles in Germany 😂🤦🏻‍♂️

hearses dont need to go fast .

Wouldn't it cost less to manufacture hearses on-site (at least the basics such as the chassis, frame, doors, etc.) rather than having to cut up a brand new, regular car and have to 'rebuild'/customize them from scratch? You would think that all of the top name brands such as Cadillac et al. would offer that option straight from the plant? Just seems like a lot of needless work and money while having to go through a 'middleman'.

I love our casual, leavers an edit about a vehicle that transported dead bodies in the 1920s😂

It isn't the fact that the car carried the body to it's final resting place. The body is now just a shell and the only thing that it carries is sentimental value. If there is a ghost, then he or she would be where they died or near it.

Why are you playing Indian theme in Japanese settings😂

"When I think of a hearse I think of, like, Rob Zombie."
i don't see the problem here.

I don't really want a hearse. I want to ride in the back of a nice truck surrounded by local plants. Then I want to be buried raw, maybe with only a natural cotton dress. I want to be buried with a tree seed, preferably something long-lasting but local. Then I want the tree to be given autonomy so no one, not even greedy business men, can ever EVER cut it down. And I was a plaque stipulating that if the tree ever dies of its own accord, a new one must be planted there.

Bier is German for beer though.

ill still call it a hearse

Pleasantly surprised to see that when Nolan was saying “coffin,” they were in fact loading a coffin and not a casket!

you guys havin mercedes and bentley hearses ower here in hungary my grandrpa got a suzuki hearse

No way a hearse had a turbo LS in it 😂

VW microbus

Hearse hi and low car

The wheels on the hearse go round and round

I had a friend at my church that she and her husband put in their will that when they died their casket was to be taken to the cemetery a couple hours away in the back of their pickup. When her husband died he was taken to the cemetery in the truck and when she was dying her sister sent tue truck to the repair shop to make sure it was in working order to take her when she passed. When she passed they loaded her up in the truck from the funeral home and took her up to the cemetery.

More herse-pwr, baby!

Hearse power?

Best ride I ever had in a car was during my grandmas funeral. Pall bearers style hearse with the rows of bench seats. Me, my two brothers and 4 or 5 other male cousins. Started talking about the engine and smooth ride of the caddy. The guy driving asked if we wanted to see what it could do. Naturally we collectively said yes. The ride to the cemetery involved a small stretch of highway. Let’s just say we missed the exit at well over 100mph and still got to the cemetery first. Grandma would’ve laughed her ass off.

I actually saw a guy ride in the back of his truck as a hearse

in dutch bier means beer so maybe they did mean beer in a sneaky way

Hot And Fiery

I'm not sure how many people noticed this, but the ECTO-1 car from Ghostbusters is also a repurposed hearse

There's this dude who drives around my town occasionally in a customized hearse. It's painted flat black, has that classic graveyard fencing for the grill, and on top with some barrels welded to the roof, and a license plate that reads "THEEND". The dude also dresses up like a Rob Zombie inspired grave digger.
