National Museum of Funeral History

This is one of the National Museum of Funeral History's hearses. I didn't count but I think they had about twenty different antique hearses at the museum. The older ones, like this one, tend to feature incredibly detailed woodworking on the sides!

Title: "Antique Hearse"
