hearse
Coffin-carrying vehicle
A hearse is a vehicle for transporting a coffin to a funeral or burial site.
Modern hearses are typically long, black automobiles with a rear compartment visible through side windows: The hearse led the procession to the cemetery.
The word sometimes extends metaphorically to anything associated with death or funerals.
