Exterior First Call Van Products

Adding exterior features to a first call van can help make the vehicle have a more complete and cohesive appearance when providing transport of the deceased. These items can also serve as a way to identify the vehicle as a funeral service vehicle. When the inside of the van is complete with all necessary equipment-features, why not complete the outside by adding some exterior features. Features such as Wreaths, Landau Bars or Nameplates can enhance the vehicle's overall aesthetic. A professional looking vehicle exudes an air of confidence and instills a sense of trust in the community served by the funeral home or mortuary.
