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.

Here is their site again: http://www.volkswagenfunerals.co.uk/

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.

It must be true if you read it on samba.
