It is all about how the dead person wanted to celebrate their life (or the end of it).

I had a friend who passed away, nobody wore stiff suits to the funeral, just dressed the way he remembered us.

I laughed at the pic, I'm sure they didn't do that because grandma hated honking.

Im am pretty sure that people cant cart the loved ones around while deceased. Its probably an empty one that they purchased in advance. Just kind of crazy to see it on the road and the driver making a joke of it

I find it interesting how folks get offended by that. Only in America do we have the notion of immortality, as if avoiding death is an option. So anything that is displayed relating to death, makes people cringe, as if they can avoid it. I'd probably chuckle if I saw that.
