Chevrolet Traverse Converted into a Hearse for Your Final Ride

A crossover allows for the installation of a casket.

Most of us ride in our first car rides as soon as we are born. We often end up strapped into the back seat, as precious cargo, as our parents drive us home. Many of us will also be riding in the back for our last ride, which could be a boring ChevyTraverse. K2 Vehicles has a range of aftermarket hearses. One is the Chevy crossover. Although it is a slightly ungainly looking casket, the rear-end has been reworked.

The rear seats were removed inside to make room for the cargo area, which also includes floor rollers that allow for easy loading and unloading. This two-seat crossover features a unique rear end, where it appears that K2 Vehicles has replaced all of the second-row doors back. The rear overhang has been significantly increased, and is accompanied with a longer landau-style roof with chrome trim – a trademark hearse design characteristic.

Redesigned rear features new taillights and safety markers. A new side-opening hatch design is available with more chrome trim, which contrasts the black exterior. GM Authority states that the Traverse hearse’s 3.6-liter V6 produces 310 horsepower (231 kilowatts), and 266 pound feet (360 Newton-meters), of torque. K2 has both front-wheel-drive and all-wheel drive options. The Chevy branding is missing from the hearse, including the Chevy bow tie on the front grille.

General Motors is not unfamiliar with hearses. Spies showed a extra-long Cadillac last year that looked like a limousine. The elongated design also included a hearse version. Many hearses are made by aftermarket vendors, where upfitters transform everyday vehicles into casket carriers. K2 Vehicles sells hearses of the Dodge Grand Caravan and Chevy Suburban, Lincoln Navigators, Honda Odysseys, Honda Odysseys, and the Mercedes-Benz Metris van. There are many options.
