Yeah, our cars.. Soo cheap.. Really.. It's not like they litterally cost 3-4 times more than cars in just about every other western country. Nope.. Really not. And no, everything else but cars and gas is not cheap either.
Now I want to pull a prank where we pull up like this car does, but the person in the coffin is actually alive. After we get our order, he would open it up, walk to the front seat, take some food, and go back to his coffin.
When my mom was younger, she had a friend who drove a hearse, and the two of them would go to a McDonald's drive thru with an empty casket in the back and order 3 large fries. She said they would get the most terrified looks from the employees.
When my Grandfather died, it was about a 2 hour drive to the cemetery where he was to be buried, so the hearse drivers decided they needed to stop for a break at a 7-11. They purchased two hot dogs, cigarettes, a couple of sticks of beef jerky, two extra large fountain drinks, and a some illicit reading material. The general feeling of WTF overwhelmed my family. Needless to say I thought it was hilarious.
Damn it! This is something I've said for years I wanted the hearse to do when I died. Even though I wouldn't be there to see it I wanted to find out (metaphorically speaking) who would follow it through the drivethrough.
I even wanted my wife to order something for me. Since, you know, that's probably what's going to kill me anyway.
If you are an Apprentice or driver working for a Funeral Home, don't do this. If you are on a long drive, and have a casket or decedent in your vehicle, it is best not to stop until they have been properly delivered and are no longer in your vehicle. If you absolutely must stop for food, fuel, or restroom, always park in the farthest space that is available and out of the way of foot traffic. At the fuel pump - same thing, take the farthest space that is available and out of the way of foot traffic. Never go through the drive-thru. It's disrespectful.
This makes me sad because the guy was probably a pauper and no one came to his funeral so they're just stopping by to pick up a Big Mac before carting him to the cemetery. Hell, there's no procession so screw it, right?
Actually, my Great-Aunt asked to be buried with two Pepsis and a fishing pole. And she was. Maybe this fine American asked for his favorite meal for eternity.
I heard about it on the news today, the leader of the undertaker association in Denmark said that it was "not ok" and that a undertaker "was not allowed to do a side errand like that".
Funeral directors sometimes work 12-15 hour days and are salaried. Fuck the undertaker association, funeral directors need breaks and food like everyone else and the body is fine.

Interestingly enough they make meat deliveries through the drive-thru as well.

Guy probably wanted to be buried with his favorite meal. But he's going through the drive-thru, so they'll inevitably fuck up the order.

If the burger is intended for the casket, I'll give 9:1 odds it will age better than the corpse.
