Forget The Hearse...

There's a small town newspaper in the area where I grew up. This is one of the main articles this morning. The man who died was an avid hunter who LOVED his Silverado. He was killed in a hunting accident and has two young daughters to support. So I'm not really laughing. But I had to chuckle at the prospect of palbearers loading the casket into the bed of his favorite truck, and riding to the cemetary...

That's an interesting, but sad story.

 

On a lighter note, my grandmother had a 1983 Chevrolet Cavalier Wagon that she bought new. We finally convinced her to let us replace it a few years back. She always said she would be buried in that car. We ended up replacing it with a Ford Escort Wagon, but she isn't as keen on this one as the Cavalier. Guess she'll be buried in a casket, after all!

 

Every now and then we still see the Cavalier running around, usually covered in mud. That car was a tank!

I love it, I would much rather do that too.

 

It sucks what happened to him, and on his own dang property.

Good thing he had a Chevy and not a Ford. It would be hard to maneuver a Ford carrying a casket through a cemetery, behind a tow truck.

speaking of tow trucks, I saw a short clip on the SPEED show Wrecked. Of a tow truck drivers funeral. The casket was on a flatbed tow truck..

 

I guess he really liked his job

Yeah, or worse yet a Tundra. The tailgate probably would have collapsed and his dead body would have fallen out. Or, it may have just "bounced" out after hitting a pothole.

If you check the Tundra manual under transporting human remains it specifies "Ashes Only" due to load restrictions.
