Too many hearses by non-determinable coachbuilders appeared on the site in the last weeks... ![]() |

Animatronixx, you're not going to be happy about this, but nowadays the specialised hearses you (and I) love are just too expensive. I dare say any coachbuilder can convert a van like this, which a stack of manufacturers produce. ![]() |

Sure, I know. It's just the same in many European countries and the vans have taken over, but there is still a whole lot of 'conventional' funeral coaches out there and still many coachbuilders making them. Especially you in the UK don't have to worry about that: The British full size hearses are not going to disappear that soon. They become less, but they'll stay. In France, it's different, as they have a tradition of several decades using funeral vans. On the other side: It's 2010 and the first commercially built Maserati Quattroporte hearse has just appeared... It's not completely over. ![]() |

Small world. We have just seen Maserati hearse in action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zG_wlyRxTvE More: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9AYLgRkm2c (Short last trip of president Lech Kaczyński and his wife Maria, from Balice airport to Kraków, 18th April 2010). -- Last edit: 2010-04-23 02:07:56 |

I saw the Maserati on television on this event, and I didn't recognise it. |

I done double take. "Is it Maserati? :OOOOOOOO .................. Yes it is!" |

Like for now there are only 4 such Maseratis in Europe. |

Oh, thanks. As I hardly ever watch TV, I haven't been aware Kaczyński was carried in one of these recently. The Quattroporte hearse is brandnew, manufactured by Intercar Service of Modena/ Italy, a major player in the Italian funeral car coachbuilding field. |
