That black one is a very cool VW.

There's a mob in the UK that do Kombi funerals currently (all theirs are white). I'm sure I've posted them before.

No Lee, the VW transporter factory in Hanover did not 'make' hearses, but they did have the capacity to custom-make vehicles for special applications. However according to a thread on The Samba, these Kombi hearses were made by coach builder Fritz Frickenger in Augsburg.

This is a shot of VW boss Heinz Nordhoff's funeral procession in Wolfsburg in April 1968. His hearse was modified VW Pickup.
