Note from our Founder


   Hello everyone, and welcome to the “Ride in Peace (R.I.P.) Funeral & Formal Auto Society”, Rochester, N.Y. – an auto club dedicated to the Hearse, Flower Car, Ambulance, and/or Limousine owner.

   Being semi-new to the Professional Car scene (My wife & I did run a limousine service for approximately 5 years), I will be the first to admit having limited knowledge on the ‘Funeral’ aspect of pro-car ownership. However, I have found the ‘learning curve’ to be almost as gratifying as owning a Pro-Car itself.

  The history, features, restoration, and endless modifications of such vehicles are, to say the least, VERY interesting.

   I’m not going to try and dazzle anyone with brilliance, or baffle anyone with BS… this site is not designed for information.

   If you’re looking for tips on buying, restoring, or simply curious about a Pro-Car, check out our many links listing different clubs around the Country. There you will find a wealth of information… from where to find that vintage tail light for your latest project to what to say to the next ‘Person’ that asks “Ya got a dead body in the back”? 
(Ya people, that's how I roll... T-shirt, my little puppy, Chia, hanging out the window, and a DEAD BODY in the back ...  Idiot !!! )

   Basically, there is really no sense in duplicating things here, so I won’t.

  The main purpose of this site is simply to let people in Rochester, N.Y. (and surrounding areas) interested in Hearses, Flower Cars, Ambulances, & Limousines know of our group.

   I have found MANY in the Rochester area who have "Always wanted a Hearse"...  Here's hoping this site just may be the added push YOU need to get one. (Hey, YOU are the one that clicked on MY site - LOL)

Enjoy,
   John Peckham .
