Hines Funeral Home gets a new car
On Monday I had an assignment with reporter Dwight Dana to go to Hartsville and interview Franklin Hines, owner of Hines Funeral Home, about his new hearse. One of the things I thought was really neat was the 1930's era Rolls Royce hood ornament. The car as a whole was a sight to see!

Well, I guess this would explain why the average cost of a funeral is nearly $6500.00. Gots to have some bling bling on the way to gravesite.
