We attended a Hearse Show at the Laurel Hill Cemetery last weekend. Beautiful event on a breezy summer day. So many gorgeous hearses, so many hilarious decorations.
We entered a raffle to win a full-size heavy metal casket - bright orange with black handles. The real deal for any Halloween-loving corpse. I have never been so relieved by not winning something. In theory, a heavy orange casket seems appealing and exciting. But then you try to imagine where it'll live in your house. Using it as a coffee table is always a neat thing, but I already have one (a coffee table) that I dig, and this was the kind with a rounded lid (not a coffin)... my drinks would slide onto the carpet. Plus, at 220 pounds, it'd be a pain to move around. Not to mention anything about getting it home from the cemetery without a hearse. Or pallbearers.
Sometimes I'm a buzzkill.
Here are some photos we took at the event.
