A crematorium in the UK is using hearses to bring in animal companions before giving them a respectful sendoff. The Dignity Pet Crematorium in Winchfield specializes in collecting deceased pets in special animal hearses and then giving them a proper funeral with everything you’d expect from a human funeral.

In addition to a funeral, the facility also offers customers a special garden where they can bury the ashes of their beloved pets. They even offer memorial headstones complete with markings and engravings for an immortalization of Fido, Spike or Meow-Gi.

Kevin Spurgeon, one of the co-owners of the Dignity Pet Crematorium, explains this type of service is necessary because “we all grieve” when there is a loss, “whether that be a relative or a cat, cog or a hamster – or even a snake.”

Kevin’s father created the Dignity Pet Crematorium in 1992 as a way to serve this special need. He got inspired after watching a documentary about how dead pets are collected and thrown into mass graves with no respect at all.

Many people in the market for hearses for sale enjoy the macabre nature of these funeral cars and the looks they get when they go down the street.

• The first motorized hearse in the United States was used on January 15, 1909. It was for a funeral procession in Chicago. The funeral director that first used this hearse was H.D. Ludlow. There were reports of a similar vehicle used in Paris in 1907, though.
• Until 1909, hearses were typically horse-drawn carriages that carried the deceased.
• Many early hearses were also ambulances. You may still see these in smaller towns and cities.
• In the United States, Lincolns and Cadillacs are the most common bases for hearses. In Europe, companies typically use Jaguar, Mercedes-Benz and Volvo for hearse bases.
• Hearse clubs abound across the United States and other nations across the world. Hearse enthusiasts gather at annual events to share their fondness for these cars.

Did you know that funeral foods add a level of comfort similar to funeral cars for a bereaved family following a loved one’s death? A recent article in Mississippi’s Clarion Ledger publication looked at the foods used throughout the South to comfort mourners when a loved one has passed away. In that region, among many others throughout the nation, people bring out food every chance they get. In the South, though, there are certain “comfort foods” that seem to make their appearance at funerals more often than anywhere else.

Some of the most popular funeral foods throughout the South include potato salad, baked ham, jello salad, fried chicken, green bean casserole (my friend calls this “funeral casserole”) and, my favorite, banana pudding. It’s customary to “load up” the grieving family with this delicious food because it gives them the opportunity to mourn without worrying about cooking. The assumption is, according to the article, “They still need to eat!”

But funeral cars offer a similar comfort, too. It gives the grieving family the chance to be chauffeured around without worrying about actually driving. Funeral cars are made to be extra comfortable, too. They have extra space and soft seats that almost lure you off to sleep. I guess the assumption behind these ultra-comfy funeral cars is that, “They still need to get to the burial site.”

Does your family or region have any funeral foods that come out when someone passes away? If so, are they foods that you enjoy or do you stay away from them? That would be a fun topic to discuss below.

“Mourners” in a central New Jersey town lined up funeral cars and hearses to say goodbye to a local hospital last week.

More than 200 citizens and city activists gathered around Muhlenberg Regional Medical Center and held a mock funeral to give the 131-year-old hospital a proper sendoff. Area residents wanted to say a special goodbye to the hospital because it served them so well for the past several decades. People were born there. People died there. People were even cured there. “This moment was somber,” said Lawrence Hamm, chairman for the People’s Organization for Progress, “because we came to bury a hospital that served so many so well.”

The mock funeral took place at the parking lot of the hospital, located at the corner of Randolph Road and Park Avenue. More than 75 cars and hearses surrounded the area. Drivers honked their horns and flashed their lights to show their appreciation for everything the hospital and its staff had done for their families throughout the years. The conclusion of the ceremony occurred when one of the hearses, a long white one, lead the line of cars to the nearby JFK Medical Center in Edison and then to the Plainfield City Hall.

Funeral cars in Islington earlier this week were ticketed when they pulled over to mourn the death of a 16-year-old murder victim from the community, Ben Kinsella. The young boy was stabbed repeatedly in the early morning hours of June 29. He was taken to a local hospital, but he died soon after.

At the scene of the murder, friends and family members created a shrine to the young boy. Mourners flocked to the area for weeks after the incident to pay their respects to the Kinsella family. But while they had their funeral cars parked nearby, Islington traffic wardens were passing out tickets.

One woman stopped to pay her respects as she was confronted by a traffic warden. “He said that I couldn’t park on a double-yellow,” she explained. But according to her, his response was, “I don’t care what shrine it is, you can’t be parked on a double-yellow.” She is appealing her ticket as many other area residents with similar citations are doing.

One neighbor who lived close to the shrine noticed that traffic wardens were almost keeping watch of the shrine so they could pounce on drivers as soon as they parked. “To me,” she said, “they were young cashing in on the death of a young man.”

The latest news about the situation is that these traffic citations will not be enforced. But it raises an important question: Funeral cars or not, should people be allowed to park against the rules to pay their respects at a site of mourning? I mean, we see these shrines set up all over the highway here in the United States. Should mourners be allowed to pull over and pay their respects even though it could risk their safety and the safety of other drivers? What do you think?

Residents of a small Huntersville, North Carolina neighborhood don’t mind a person making a living by selling hearses for sale. But they are mad at the owner of a home who has made his property an eyesore with a number of dilapidated used hearses for sale.

In addition to being an eyesore, the yard that contains the hearses for sale in question is also breaking laws because it is not zoned for such a business. As a result, the owner is racking up fines in excess of $10,000. The town is also filing a lawsuit against the absentee owner in an effort to collect on the fines. As the town planner stated, the fine isn’t to generate income for the town. Instead, the fines are used as a method to make homeowners comply with local laws and ordinances. In this case, no more than two unregistered vehicles can be parked at a home.

The hearses for sale have been parked all over the Pine Knoll neighborhood property, both on the lawn and in the driveway. These funeral cars are in clear view of passing traffic, but attempts to contact the homeowner have gone unanswered. And the only way the town officials can actually remove the hearses for sale from the yard is to foreclose on the home and become the owner. That’s a last resort, according to one official.

Whenever people see a procession of hearses go by, they stop and take notice. That’s why funeral directors in Indiana’s Marion County offered their hearses and funeral cars to the city to promote the “Stop the Violence – Peace in the Streets” campaign earlier this month.

Indianapolis just suffered its worth month in five years in terms of homicides. On the last day of July, the police were investigating the 18th homicide in the city. That pushes the county’s total number of homicides for the year-to-date to 71, one more than last year’s figures for the same time period. That’s why organizers and concerned citizens felt the need to do something to help people understand the seriousness of death and violence. “The overall purpose is to promote peace in the streets and to show the community, especially the young people, that death is final,” stated one of the organizers of the event.

The impressive sight of about 20 hearses left the town’s Glendale Town Center at about 5:30 PM. Funeral directors drove those hearses on a route that covered more than 30 miles through the eastern region of Indianapolis. It took little more than an hour, but citizens noticed the symbolism and took notice.

Let’s hope it just makes people think a little more before they engage in violent activities from now on.

Have you ever seen a procession of funeral cars in which a beloved pet was riding along with the family? It probably doesn’t happen too often. For some families, however, animal companions are just as important as sons or daughters. As such, they ride along with the bereaved in the family funeral cars on the way to the gravesite.

Animal companions are becoming more and more common at funeral services and ceremonies. Currently, there are more than 350 million animal companions in the United States. About 61 percent of American households have a pet. Thirty-nine percent of homes have a dog and 32 percent have a cat. There are also many other pets, including rabbits, hamsters and reptiles that people enjoy having as a companion. These pets become members of the household and form bonds with the family.

When a member of the family dies, pets grieve just as much as the other family members. If the person that died was the primary person in the pet’s life, that grief is even greater. When my dad died, his two dogs looked all over for him. Every time a car pulled into the driveway, they ran to the back door in hopes that it was him. Unfortunately, they were a little too wild to allow in the funeral cars with the family. But during his last years, these two dogs were just as much a part of his family as anybody else. It would’ve been nice if they could’ve said goodbye to him one last time the way we did.

If you’ve ever been interested in buying one of the hearses for sale that you see in the paper or at a dealership, you may not have ever considered getting one customized. But hearses for sale can be made to fit your needs just like any other type of car. For instance, have you ever thought about buying one of these funeral cars and getting it plated with armor?

That’s exactly what the MacNeille company can do. This company specializes in armor plating and covering vehicles in a protective shell for whatever reason. They’ve plated police cars, ambulances, military vehicles and many more. I’m not sure if they’ve actually had many requests from people to plate one of the hearses for sale that they bought, but there’s a first time for everything, right?

MacNeille began customizing and plating cars in 1912 and has since become the leader in the industry. The company is based in the UK, but they serve customers internationally. The current facility has more than nine acres of space and more than 300 employees that are ready to add armor and other security features to the car of your choice.

One way to be unique is to buy one of the hearses for sale in your area and use it as a personal vehicle. But if you want to be truly unique, why not consider getting it customized and armor-plated? There aren’t many people that can compete with that!
