A hearse is a large vehicle, especially an automobile, used to carry
the dead body of a person in a coffin/casket at a funeral, wake, or
memorial service. They range from deliberately anonymous vehicles to
very formal heavily decorated vehicles.In the funeral trade of some
countries hearses are called funeral coaches.The name is derived,
through the French herse, from the Latin herpex, which means a harrow.
The funeral hearse was originally a wooden or metal framework, which
stood over the bier or coffin and supported the pall. It was provided
with numerous spikes to hold burning candles, and, owing to the
resemblance of these spikes to the teeth of a harrow, was called a
hearse. Later on, the word was applied, not only to the construction
above the coffin, but to any receptacle in which the coffin was
placed. Thus from about 1650 it came to denote the vehicle on which
the dead are carried to the grave. Hearse Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
