living on lake michigan its always been my dream to see a good mirage or get a picture of one. hot air coming down on cold air is the general formula, and i guess there is certain phenomena you can see on a weather radar that might predict that the conditions are right.

there are some cool images of the Chicago skyline from Muskegon, Michigan that initially got me "into" this

Some jurisdictions allow families to transport bodies.

I have no doubt that situations like that pictured happen regularly.

I thought transporting bodies was pretty much unregulated. My dad worked for a funeral home but he would go pick up bodies in his minivan every once in a while when they were out of hearses.

This discussion is very useful because it led to me googling "who owns a dead body" and learning about a court case where a guy's post-death instructions were ignored because he specified that a person was to be given his body and then to cremate him. In most jurisdictions no one has the right to own a dead body, the person responsible for disposing of it simply has the right to possession of it in the meantime. So they never gave the body away and there was no chosen disposition specified in any other clause, so the executor just buried it to avoid paying for cremation.

So, you know, make sure those final testaments are airtight.

Curious where this was that burial was the less expensive option

Unless it was just "buried it myself in the woods" or whatever

I learned that by watching Caitlin Doughty on YouTube. It's why you can't take home a loved one's skull as you can't technically own it an no mortician will break the law to let you keep it.

Speaking of creations, this was a wild story about a guy who wanted to be cremated in the desert, but his family wanted him buried in Texas to get the rights to his estate, so his friends kidnapped his body.

She has a few videos about disasters that would fit this thread.

Edit: Caitlin is a pro-follow, even (especially?) if death makes you feel icky.

Does anyone actually still use hearses? I've never seen anything but minivans come pick up bodies from the two morgues I've worked near in the last 15 years.

Every funeral I've attended has used a hearse, though I would assume they have something more convenient/under the radar for picking up dead bodies.

Yeah, it seems like hearses are primarily (exclusively?) for taking the casket from the funeral home to the grave site. Well, for that and for old goth dudes trying to look cool in front of teenagers.

In the last few funerals I attended, the funeral home was on the same property as the grave site. So you ended up having the hearse drive around 1/2 mile from the funeral home doors around a loop road to the grave, while all the guests just walked across the cemetery to meet them.

Yes, for transportation to the burial site from the funeral homehouse of worship.

Most of the funeral homes I inspected used vans or large SUVs for all other transportation, usually painted all black and beautifully maintained. The hearse(s) could be used in a pinch.

Thinking about how carrying my uncle up and down about 16 stairs into/out of the church or carrying my aunt up a slippery hill in winter would fit in this thread.
