National Museum of Funeral History

The 1921 RockFalls Motorized Hearses featured beautiful hand carved wood panels that were as beautiful as rare. It was to take almost 1 year to complete all the carving with such precision as a panel located on the left of the vehicle would match the same from the right. Composed of 6 different types of wood the hand carved body added a special opulent flare unlike most competitors hearses.

Left Picture: The side panels featured wood carved to represent drapery covering the side of the vehicle. Inlayed glass allows light to pass into the rear compartment as well as allowing onlookers to notice the ornate fixtures inside the rear compartment.

Right Picture: Located between the panels hand carved pillars added extra strength to the hearse and grace to the vehicle. The rear doors which open to the rear compartment are attached by silver hinges adding to the beauty of this hearse.
