inaugural Lynchburg hearse show pics

A

Attila Bethlenfalvy

PCS member Anthony Giangualano organized, 6 coaches attended, PCS member Shawn Koenig took the long distance honor by driving 5+ hours. Held on the grounds of Lynchburg's Old City Cemetery, the 1800s visuals were perfect.

Horse drawn hearse is owned by cemetery. It was restored to service condition in the '50s. There are no maker body tags/marks and they welcome any info including year range.

My iconic camera actually experienced technical difficulties believed from overheating. 'Twas a scalding hot one today. Enjoy.

Just a guess

From my my quick glancing of pics Ive seen, the horsre drawn is either a Cunningham, as you suggested. Or Possibly an S&S or maybe Rock Falls, which I assume is Eureka built coach. From 1885-1900. But Im far from an expert on horse drawn funeral cars. I could be wrong though.:goodnight_smi:
