If you own a hearse that you like to drive around town, you’ve probably noticed some extra attention. Unfortunately, a funeral hearse can often draw attention from the wrong types of people who will try to damage it or take it for themselves. But there are some precautions you can take to ensure that your hearse stays safe and sound. Following are some tips for protecting your hearse from the people who don’t understand the concept of “personal property.”
Keep your hearse inside. If you have a garage, keep your hearse parked inside. Few things deter a would-be thief more than keeping it indoors.
Park in lighted areas. If you must leave your hearse at night, try to find a lighted area in which to park. Thieves are less likely to try anything wit a vehicle that is parked in a lighted area.
Get an alarm. Most people don’t pay any attention to car alarms anymore, but they are a deterrent to thieves. If it’s sensitive enough, the alarm will scare the thieves away before they have a chance to do anything.
Cover your hearse at night. With a car cover, you hearse will be less noticeable and it won’t draw as much attention from passersby.
Make sure you have a good insurance policy. It’s impossible to prevent anything from happening to your hearse or any car for that matter. But with a comprehensive insurance policy, you can mitigate any out-of-pocket expenses if something does happen.
