Our family of employees enjoy sharing with others what they do. Exploring some of the history of our profession can shed a different light on what we do. Just ask any of us, we'll be pleased to give you a tour of our museum.

About the cars

Automobiles currently on display include a 1940 Packard, used as an ambulance and a hearse. A 1938 art-carved Packard hearse, built in Ohio, and a 1927 Henney hearse. All are restored to their original beauty and are in perfect running order.

From the days when pallbearers wore white gloves and a rose in their lapel... our museum is filled with nostalgic items.
