HELL, Mich. (AP) — Dozens of Michigan hearse enthusiasts showed off their casket-carrying cars during a parade through Hell last weekend.
The
procession last Saturday was part of the 13th annual Hellfest celebration in
the hamlet 45 miles west of Detroit. It follows an all-hearse car show.
The
Hell-based car club called Just Hearse 'N Around was hoping to reclaim a
Guinness World Records mark it set in 2011 when 51 vehicles made the
parade. A 107-strong hearse contingent in the Netherlands shattered that
record a year later.
Just
Hearse 'N Around co-founder Frank Hendeen told the Livingston County
Daily Press & Argus of Howell that some
funeral homes would take part.
But the retired police officer says, "Most won't, because they think we're a bunch of — well, we are weird people."

Damien's note: I had a roommate one summer at Midwest State Megaversity who had an old two-tone hearse that he had driven up from West Virginia. An interesting young guy ... I wonder if he was in Hell last weekend.
Alas, having grown up in MI I have never made it too hell.
