This first page is of large and
detailed pictures. It may load slowly. The following pages are not
as slow. Or just click here
Most of the pictures on this page were sent to me by people who have visited the website. Some had explanations, others did not. Some were sent from the United Kingdom, Germany, Philippines and other countries outside of the United States.
I had been looking for a picture like this for quite awhile. Many years ago in our area there were no ambulances services or anything like them. Almost every funeral home that I can remember that owned a hearse also used it as an ambulance. They were custom made for it and it was normal for the vehicle to be out during the evening and early morning hours transporting living people and then only a few hours later to be used to carry the dead.
The above photo was sent to me in September of 2003 by a friend that moved to Plano, Texas many years ago. It was explained as the aftermath of some sort of disaster that took place where there were hundreds of people killed and so many funerals were being conducted at one time that there were not enough hearses to accommodate everyone. So I am guessing, as the picture shows, that they used pick up trucks. I had emailed my friend before putting the picture on the website, because I wanted to know more, but the email address was no longer in existence. I just found the picture to be interesting.
