Authorized Superior Coach funeral vehicle dealer, built a few Dodge Caravan and Buick station wagon-based coaches in the early 1990s.

"We use both vehicles for out-of-town funerals, removals from hospitals and nursing homes, and trips to and from the airport with human remains, as well as for flower car trips and deliveries.  The Venture has a canyon black Formica floor with built-in casket skids and rollers, as well as custom crafted removable landau panels and landau bars.  The well-equipped Grand Caravan has a woodgrain Formica floor and landau panels.  The custom coachwork for both vans was done by Royal Coachworks, St. Louis' Superior Coach dealer."

Also sell ambulances and limousines.
