HBH Clydesdales needed a custom casket deck for their new horse-drawn caisson. See how G. Burns helped supply the parts and guidance for a meaningful memorial transport build.

After nearly 15 years of daily use, the City of Hobbs returned to G. Burns to rebuild their cemetery transport system. See how their team outfitted custom UTVs with a new casket slide mounting system, designed to support safe, respectful transport across cemetery grounds.

Funeral homes are no strangers to adapting their vehicles to meet their needs. With more and more funeral homes converting vans and SUVs into hearses and funeral home vehicles, the need for custom solutions is growing, especially when it comes to respectfully transporting urns.

Every funeral home vehicle has a story to tell. For one funeral director, that story began with a Chevrolet Traverse and a vision to create something distinct, professional, and memorable.

On Saturday, September 20th, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Fowlerville Fairgrounds in Michigan, HearseFest will bring together an incredible community of hearse enthusiasts. The day is filled with fun — costume contests, a Pinebox Derby, spooky displays, and rows of unique hearses that showcase the creativity and dedication of their owners. Add in a mix of indoor and outdoor vendors, and you’ve got an event that celebrates car culture in a one-of-a-kind way.

Since 1976, G. Burns has proudly served funeral home owners, directors, and fleet managers with high-quality vehicle accessories built for professional presentation and long-term performance. In 1995, we introduced a new solution for funeral vehicle branding—one that’s stood the test of time and continues to be a trusted option across North America.

Mini-vans have become an increasingly popular choice for funeral home vehicle conversions, offering practicality, affordability, and versatility. However, the right finishing touch is essential to maintain the dignified, professional appearance expected from a funeral service vehicle. That’s where G. Burns’ removable landau bars come in—offering the most versatile, easy-to-install, and transfer-friendly solution on the market.

Finding high-quality landau bars for SUVs can be a challenge, as options are often limited. Unlike other landau bars that are designed for specific models, G. Burns landau bars are compatible with a wide range of SUVs.

For years, funeral home owners and directors have trusted our vehicle nameplates for their timeless elegance and quality. Now, we’re excited to introduce a new customization option—our nameplates are now available with a white background.

The journey began with a historic find—an antique fire truck originally commissioned in 1944 by the Rosiclaire Illinois Volunteer Fire Department. Purchased from a collector in Arizona and later transported to North Carolina, the truck arrived in remarkably good condition for its age.
