I put my father in law's casket on the back of my old Ford flatbed ranch truck and drove him from the ceremony through the small town, down the interstate, to another small town, where he was to be buried. The funeral company wanted to charge the widow something like $3000-$4000 just to drive him from point A to B.
She was hurting for money and that was not something that seemed like a good use of what little she had.
We roped his casket down to my flatbed and moved him ourselves.
Being that he was an old farmer/horse trader, we figured the pickup was more his style anyways and he probably could appreciate it.
The looks of the people passing us on the interstate were kinda funny though.
I think I was admonished about 5 or 6 times by the old ladies "Don't you lose him on your way to the cemetery!"
