As long as it's a legal vehicle it should be acceptable.
If the test giver asks why you're driving a hearse, just tell him the last time you took the test, the test giver had a heart attack and so you're just coming prepared.

I've never driven a hearse but I'm wondering
if the casket in the back would severely limit rearward vision or if hearses have rear-view mirrors at all .
I have a Roadmaster sw that I use for road trips and the Buick is about the size of a hearse and I can tell you from personal experience it took a little while to figure out where the corners of the vehicle were.
Unlike the back of your hearse the Buick is all glass so I don't have the huge blind-spot to the rear that you certainley must have.
I 'm also wondering if you would be allowed to use a not private vehicle to take your road test in
Lastly doesn't your funeral home have a Town Car or a Sedan de Ville you could use instead ?

A hearse may not be the best vehicle with which to take your test. Depending on your experience with driving a larger, longer cars, of course. During the test you will be asked to do such things as parallel park, and 3 point turns. Hearses have a wider turning radius, and serious blind spots. Completing the test would be extremely difficult for a first time driver.
Option B would be to borrow a car from a friend or relative. Perhaps a smaller model. At this point, even a 1987 Crown Victoria would be smaller.
Option C would be to contract a few lessons from a driving instructor. Not that I think you need the lessons, but in the end the instructor would allow you to take the test using the compact instruction car.
Good luck on your test... Cheers, C

The chances of your little story being true are about zero. If you dad really was a funeral director, he would know better than to leave a body unattended while his kid took their drivers test. Come on now, you actually expect us to believe this? And are we really expected to believe that the only vehicle available to you is a hearse? I don't buy it, look for attention elsewhere.

Have fun: ask the examiner to sit in the back and rise from the coffin and wave at people as you drive by. You want to pass your test so relax. If you are nervous, then borrow a neighbor's of friend's car.

maybe you could ask a friend to borrow their car
im glad your dads not a fireman because parallel parking a fire engine would be tough

Good thing your dad isn't captain of a cruise ship.
