This German Hearse was manufactured by Claude in 1998 in limited numbers. The roof rack can also accommodate flowers. See the detail photo for a closer look at the rear interior.

It was based on the original by Pollman of Breme who continues to manufacture special built vehicles based on MB, Audi and others. They used Cadillacs in the past, and are known for their 1996 Convertible Hearse, which was used for Marlene Dietrich's funeral in 1992. The roof was removable, giving it a flower car look.

I don't collect professional car models but this was a nice read based on the writeup and pictures.

A remarkable Cadillac and replica of it ! The real example would make a truly stylish and dramatic final ride.
