Description
Looks like a Cadillac model, captured 5/28/16 @ 8:45, on a very drab and dreary morning, adjacent to a church adjacent to a strip mall about .75th of mile from home.
Sorry Mark, but people are just dying to get a ride in one of these, an expensive and final trip.

Every time I see one of these I wonder who is having a last ride. What was the person's life like? What did the person die of? Any relatives? And so on...
Back in 1967, I lived near San Francisco State College. One day, to my surprise, a hearse pulled up in front of the main entrance. The rear door opened and out poured a dozen hippies! I understand these vehicles are very difficult to sell second hand, so they apparently got it cheap and used it for cheap transportation. It gave me a laugh, as well as the others waiting at the bus stop. Nice photos. Color is a bit unusual, though. :-)

well I'm glad you acknowledged me in your pun, lol---there are other puns, but I don't remember them (one was about "his and hearse") (his and hers), but I don't remember the context; though, if they're to be found, you'll find them...Very interesting and unexpected compositions here: The first is very appealing, with the big young tree trunks behind the hood, a kind of displaced hood ornament; and the layout of the angled building, and the lines in the driveway---a wonderful complex shot with "Chapel of Memories" emblazoned on the hearse window. The second is another angled shot, with "Bank of America" behind it ("ya can't take it with you," as my grandfather used to say, re hoarding money), and that tree trunk jutting in on the right---another fascinating composition. The last two are rear shots, where you let the back of the hearse really jut into our sights---the 3d shot with a dramatic angle too. With your angles and compositions, one can forget this is a hearse. You brought out the hues in this drab atmosphere, and were very sensitive to line, form, etc. (In 3, for instance, the way the driveway lines intersect the car, or the yellow street lines in front of it. etc.) Fine formal work here, Harry.
(re T.Rex's comment: Yes, in my college days, people did buy 2d-hand hearses, because they were cheap and huuuuuuge. And it was a kick, I guess, to drive up to a party in an old Caddy hearse. Turned heads around...)

It's very pretty; if you have to have a last ride, that's a real winner. It reminds me of the 1970s film "Harold and Maude", a sweet film I hadn't thought of in years until they started showing it on cable lately...beautiful shots of this very well kept grande dame!
