Either locally built or (I don't think so) British conversion by Red Lion or Startins or [insert name]. @screw13article Does that match the context? Looks like mourners rather than spectators to me.

That being said, I wasn't sure if this was an actual funeral car, or just a simple wagon (it seemed a little bit basic for a funeral car, but admittedly, I have very little knowledge about funeral cars in general). In the next scene, they showed what looked like an actual funeral car (but it's probably a different car altogether): The only visible views: The back-end looks different from Ford in the main picture. Perhaps it's a 1965 Chevrolet? Is it worth listing that car if coachbuilder is identifiable?

Funeral cars in NZ are rather unglamorous, actually basic station wagons with a casket deck and sometimes drapes or tinted windows. screw13article wrote The back-end looks different from Ford in the main picture.

The other one is a genuine hearse as well, no ID possible because these are just minor conversions without any exterior bodywork being done.
