It must have been very strange driving one of these around with the deceased's feet just by your left arm. Having room only for a driver's seat raises a quaestion too.. Did the driver have to get the relatives to help lift the coffin in?
I never saw or heard of these anywhere but in this ad, so maybe they didn't sell so many.

I wonder how many they have made...A number of these conversions are already under construction and we are able to offer early delivery.
Too many cars...

Re: Mini 'removal vehicle'.
I recently read an article about a Morris Minor owner who has just converted a Moggy 1000 traveler into a Hearse.
I once bought a 30 year run of Motorsport out the back of a Ford Granada Hearse........ the seller looked a lot like Jerry Sadowitz (or however you spell his surname!)

If you slotted the stiff in the other way round you could use it's mouth as an ash tray
