The funeral hearse was originally a wooden or metal framework, which stood over the bier or coffin and supported the pall.

 Urban Legends Reference Pages: Disney (Hearseay)
One of the more prominent of these details was added to Disneyland in 1995 when the popular Haunted Mansion attraction was refurbished: a ghostly horse-drawn hearse, decked out for a funeral, placed adjacent to the guest queue near the entrance to the attraction.
Glen M. Leonard, director of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' Museum of Church History and Art, said historical records are conclusive that the hearse couldn't possibly have been used for Young.
Even the less-impressive notions that the hearse was once used in Utah (albeit not until after Brigham Young's death) or once belonged to some other Salt Lake City family named Young are mostly unsubstantiated speculation based upon photographic comparisons.

 Dunbarton news : Dunbarton hearse is transported through history
When the hearse’s storage building burned to the ground in 1958, the hearse was pulled from the fire and doused with water, but the driver’s leather seat and canvas roof were destroyed, the glass was broken, all the interior fabric was destroyed and the two front wheels were damaged beyond repair.
Most of the damaged hearse was transported to the former town dump on Clinton Street and the rest was taken to the town roller shed on Robert Roberts Road.
In 2004, after the hearse restoration committee was formed, it was moved to Meighan Barn on Gorham Pond Road for cleaning and then, in 2005, it was moved to Bob Boynton’s garage on Mansion Road for repairs.

 Hearse of a Different Color -- book review
Here are mysteries with an awkwardly named but winsome undertaker, Hitchcock Sewell, with dopey titles unconnected to the story, and set in Baltimore, territory well mined in David Simon's Homicide and the television series based on the book.
It is as if Cockey understands that the true subject of the modern mystery is the city -- the powerful urban leveling process that exposes hidden connections between all its classes, and the ability of the most modest inhabitant to impact its most powerful.
While the "Hearse" series may be stuck with some gimmicks it may want to outgrow (how many hearse/horse puns can the series and its readers bear?), the jump in quality between the first two novels is an encouraging sign.
