Inside a Cadillac Escalade Hearse

From SUV to hearse

This used to be an ordinary Cadillac Escalade. Originally it had regular seating in the back, but all of that came out, and the entire back was redesigned to transport a casket.

The detail most people wouldn't think of: height

Escalades are famously big, so this one had to be lowered to let a casket fit inside easily. From there, the casket is rolled into position and secured for transport.

Behind the scenes

This is one of many things most people never get to see about running a funeral home. So the next time you see a hearse on the street, know that there's a lot going on behind the scenes.
