Funeral Cars - How We Prepare Our Vehicles

Nothing makes us prouder than a simple comment of “Wow, look how clean your Funeral cars are” or “that's the shiniest Funeral car I've ever seen!"

[@sonnywarren]

My local funeral home has a cool tradition. They’ll let YOU or a family member drive the hearse to the cemetery 😬

[@davidrahnis7341]

Nice video. Important job making sure everything looks just right for the family.

It's interesting how different coaches are in the USA, we don't usually have all those windows, and normally they are Cadillacs but I've seen a few Lincoln's and Buicks . Nice coach you are cleaning

[@cfsthecaringfuneralservice7348]

Thank you. Here in the UK our hearses are designed to enable people to see the coffin and the flowers. The second set of doors give access to the bearer seats. We rarely have large American style caskets here hence the different Sheri hearses. Our limousines are all now 6 doors seating seven passengers. Most are Mercedes or Jaguar, we prefer Volvo. Incidentally our hearse is similar to the one used fir our Kate Queen Elizabeth except hers was a Jaguar.

@@cfsthecaringfuneralservice7348 are your caskets the 6 sided traditional coffin style caskets? Just curious

[@cfsthecaringfuneralservice7348]

Yes usually, occasionally we have the rectangular four sided caskets, and the rounded ones if willow material, but here in the UK the eight sided style is the most popular.

[@califdad4]

@@cfsthecaringfuneralservice7348 I've looked online and haven't seen a nice 8 sided coffin available here, which I find kind of odd, seems like some people would like them. Thanks for your reply

Very well done . What a respectable young man. Godspeed

I like his care and attention to detail best way to dry The chammy with the Old hand ringer he would be at high end cars

[@KalyaratKerdtawee]

:( RIP my grand father he just passed away and I miss him😢

[@selinaoakley3613]

So respectful for the deceased & Thier entourage & useful info about car cleaning too.

[@andyng3666]

I fully respect you for your job in cleaning the hearse. Under your cleaning, every hearse looks just like it is a brand new one which is not in use before. Good job, Sir.

Quick question my friend. What type of adhesive is required for reattaching severed n1pples, in the event a husband would prefer a nude viewing? We live in an absurdly liberal world right now and i get many requests i haven't gotten previously. Any ideas?

[@kentgabriel3572]

I always wondered if the newer Volvo Cars (S90) was used for Funeral coach conversions....thought it would be a beautiful vehicle to convert....and it is. Classy and dignified without being too flashy or over the top. Here in the states it gets pretty mundane with a Cadillac or a Lincoln...and most are now the SUV's that are being converted to hearses....the proportions are just off...doesn't look right I'm my humble opinion. I'm a huge Volvo fan. Currently own an XC40.....so this video caught my eye. Nice work!

[@taramcknight3776]

On the way to the cemetary with my brother in law the hearse broke down. Myself along with several other drag racers got busy checking it out but to find the the fuel pump had gone out. The funeral director said he could have another hearse there in 30 minutes. His brothers said to hell with that, they threw him in a Surburban, spread the flowers out in some cars and off we went. Lol.

[@Butter615s]

Cloth diapers also work well for washing and a good lint free towels to dry

[@RustyZipper]

I highly suggest applying Ceramic Coat. Here in the states I recommend Adam’s Polishes. One kit will cover 3 small cars. It’s relatively easy, just preparation is meticulous.

[@genemaverick5705]

The last thing families need to worry about is how detailed the hearse is , smh

[@BenitaIsaacs-ff5qj]

Very interesting to watch how things are done.

[@AlbertDunisch]

did you know most vehicles wont fit a King sized bed?

[@shirleyporter5606]

Thank you for explaining your job title your job is just important as the person who pass away or the people who clean the person and prepare the love ones thank you

[@arthurwhitelam6591]

I noticed you didn't dry the alloys prior to dressing the tyres, I was in the funeral profession for 23 year's like you I came through the ranks, and everntuly becoming a funeral director. Good luck for the future.

[@RustyZipper]

I recommend an air dryer/ leaf blower. I use a Stihl BR600, not sure if those are allowed in your area as they’re commercial units. But even a smaller battery unit will get 90% of the water off. Then touch up some corners with that chamomile

[@Subgunman]

Respect! Where does one obtain that wringer for the chamois?

[@ameliareaganwright2758]

No mention of drying off the beads of water on the windows. Hmmm......

Always good to put the "fun" in funeral

[@j.chrislowe4813]

we take ours to the car wash you're shaming us :)

[@cm5838]

I never really thought about it, figured they just took it to a detailer

[@marccilliers4808]

I'm not cryingYou're crying

[@mikearena9077]
