Name that hearse

[Richard Vyse]

The pitcher for the Florida Marlins died in a boating accident and was laid to rest using this hearse. A hearse with a sun roof...

Eagle Echelon, I believe.

 

[Keith Snyder]

Noah's correct that is indeed an Eagle Echelon. You gotta love that inane "moon roof" above the casket compartment. I'm sure people are just dying to get a ride back there to preview where they are hopefully headed. From my perspective, that thing is just plain silly.

about as silly as a removeable roof panel that leaks above the drivers compartment

I often wondered why the coach builder never made a see through rear door so the family could view the casket on the way to the cemetery while they followed the hearse? Might sound a bit strange but it would make more sense than a overhead clear panel.

The passenger can see to heaven through the moon-roof.

It allows more light in to make the casket and flowers more visible to the family and eliminate some of the gloom often associated with the back of the coach.

I can understand it, but only on a limousine style coach as in this case. As Owen stated, it allows light to shine on the casket and flowers. Nice effect on a sunny day. It would be totally useless on a landau.
