Funeral Escort / Removal Vehicle - Suburban

[Nate@MoveOverOutfitters]

We outfitted a Cadillac hearse about a month ago.  The director loved it and received a lot of positive feedback, so he brought us his Suburban as well.  This is their lead escort vehicle.  I didn't realize it until we picked it up from the client and I was driving it to the shop....but it's their removal vehicle as well.  He was previously only using an amber dash light.  The original estimate included additional side lighting and an additional light stick in the back window, but the client decided on this setup.  All light heads were lightly tinted to match the hearse.

Front:

HLF

Feniex Cobra 400 (red)

Side:

2 Feniex T6s on each running board (red)

Rear:

TLF

Those lights are red correct? Here they can only run amber or purple, becoming all purple now though. Like the flash patterns and simplicity of the layout.

Yes they are red.  My bad, I'll add that to the original post.

Looks good. It needs something higher in the front and rear though.

The client wants as low profile as possible, hence the tinted light heads.  Anything higher on the front than the grill isn't going to be as low profile as they would like.

As for the rear, the only vehicle that will view the rear emergency lights is the hearse.  Any other emergency lights to the rear would be a waste of money.

If I can do so tactfully, I'll hopefully have some video of both the Suburban and hearse in action to post.  I'm anxious to see the package deal.

I like it. Functional and respectful.

Understood.

So...the 'burb is the removal vehicle too?  Do they transport family in that during the procession?  I wonder if they know? Hahaha.

If you were in Texas, I know someone who needs killing.  :innocent:

Thats a CLEAN install, and not too busy...

I have been seeing more and more lead cars in the funeral processions with led"s or hide a ways

usually purple or  clear never red in NY

looks good never the less

Before this turns into a debate over light colors, suffice it to say that different states have different laws and I'm sure the installer is a professional and wouldn't do anything allowing an illegal activity to take place.

Here in TX red would be fine, but I don't see funeral vehicles lighted all that much because most places still get police escorts.
