If you’re looking to go out in style, literally, Rosewood Classic Coach of Morrilton is the business for you.
The company, owned by Richard Neal, builds hearses to be used for funerals, but these aren’t your typical hearses.
Neal builds retro cars that usually sell anywhere from $99,000 to $105,000. Rented out, the cars are usually about $1,200. Neal’s cars are about 22-foot long, six-foot tall and weigh about 6,000 pounds. Right now, he’s got 17 cars on back order.
He even builds retro limos for the family, which can be customized to include special lighting, bars, DVD players and sound systems.
“We have had services where we have actually had trouble having graveside services because the families were taking pictures with the car rather than having the committal service,” Neal said in an interview with THV 11‘s Ashley Blackstone.
Neal and his company are featured on this week’s “Made in Arkansas” by THV 11, Arkansas Business’ news partner.
