For me, it was normal the things Dad and I did together.
Yes, we owned an old hearse and even took it drag-racing.
It was fun...Me and Dad, we didn't have no real casket. So we
made us a nice wooden one that worked as an ice chest.
The Caddy did have the gurney that you used to roll the actual
casket on...you would roll the wooden casket to the car, load the
casket, tuck the gurney in and go.
In our case we would feel the casket full of pop and food, it was
a big ice chest that we took racing. We would unload it being oh
so careful...and go racing. The car had one big beacon light on top
and a siren. We got to use them both.
When we bought the car it did come with some "casts" and I have no
ideal as to the why-for. We had us a pile of leg casts and arm casts.
Yeah...for me and Dad that was completely normal.
