Would it be legal if I die to be taken to the cemetery in the back of my truck instead of a hearst?

I think so, that sounds like it would depend on the state or county you live(d) in.

Possibly. You will need to let someone who will most likely be in charge of your funeral arrangements know what you want. Writing it down would be good too. I once went to the funeral of a baby that died a couple of days after she was born. The family did the whole burial. A pastor did the service and then the mothers brothers put the casket in their car. We drove out to the cemetery and they lowered the casket in the ground and buried it. There were no funeral home people there. This was about 30 years ago, so I don't know if things have changed, but this was allowed then.

It isn't in Holland. You can ride to the cemetery anyway you like as long as you're in some kind of a coffin. People could take you there on a couple of skateboards as far as I know.

It's legal. My grandfather's body was brought to the cemetery on an antique fire truck. ( He was a fire chief). You just need to make your wishes known.

You'd have to consult the funeral home and the cemetery that you plan on using to find out their specific policy.

Yes, I have seen that before. They had the coffin on top of the semi truck he used to drive.

Not legal. from what I know. it has to be written and declared from the state to do so and I have never heard of it being done. You should ask the proper people ,

It should be..I know someone who requested to be buried in their Cadillac and the request was granted and followed through. What a waste of a fine automobile!

Hey, whatever works? But it's up to the survivors to make sure your last wishes are carried out.

probably not...as long as you have it written in a will or something of the sort....these days you can be cremated and packed into fireworks to be set off by professionals for your family for about $3000.........
