This should be Spinella's hearse when the time comes. :p --Ed.

"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust"... the great circle of life is as green as it gets, so why not make your final road trip an environmentally friendly one?

That's the idea behind the upcoming Toyota Prius Hearse by Lequios. The Japanese hearse manufacturerhas plenty of experience with modifying Toyota products and by basing their newest model on the popular hybrid, is simply responding to clients' requests for a more eco-friendly vehicle.

The Prius Hearse is only in the design phase at the moment but if the pictured interior photos of Lequios' other models are any indication, this is gonna be one high-class hybrid! Based on the third-generation Prius, the hearse version is extended 1930mm (77.2 inches) for a total length of 6400mm (256 inches, or 21.34 feet)... http://inventorspot.com/articles/prius_hearse_makes_your_last_road_trip_green_ride_29351

Look at the pictures in the article.

Got an idea for tailgaters - open the hatchback and eject the coffin...an empty one between funerals but you get the idea. :p

or mabye a bumper sticker:

"if you are close enough to read this, your next ride could be in here!"

I could get a lot of pizzas in there. :D - Dale

And if someone eats them all, you can give them a ride in the other direction.

Its pays to haul both ways!

Any notice the hearse is white?

Toyota has begun production on a Prius Hearse which they say will be better for the environment than the traditional gas-powered hearse. Experts say it’s the perfect way to tell everyone at your funeral procession, “I’m judging you from beyond the grave.”

Aww, c'mon. You could fit a casket in a Prius *without* stretching it.

My experience of sleeping in a Prius was I had to be diagonal and I'm 5'9"., so unless the deceased is already cremated, I think it needs to be a bit longer
