SPRINGVALE - Dan White is used to getting strange looks when he parks the family car: A hearse.

But the black wagon isn't a bad ride, the Springvale man told the Sun Journal, when it's not your last.

White and his wife Gina bought the 1990 Chevrolet Caprice hearse two years ago on eBay. During its 16 years in service at a funeral home in Vermont, it shuttled roughly 15,000 people to their final resting places.

Since then, the vehicle licensed MORBID1 has been something of a soccer mom's car from the other side, ferrying groceries and teens to the prom. It also earns its keep by giving rides to celebrating divorcees and birthday party guests.

To accommodate the living, Whites removed part of the back where coffins used to go and installed a minivan seat, DVD player and stereo system.
