BRIDGEWATER, N.S. — A Nova Scotia car collector says his landlord asked him to remove his graveyard-painted hearse from his driveway after complaints from other residents of his largely elderly neighbourhood.
Michael Nelson purchased the white 1990 Cadillac Brougham hearse, which features a graveyard scene painted on its side and a gate with the words "final destiny" painted on the back, from Ontario a few weeks ago.
Since parking it in his Bridgewater driveway, Nelson says his landlord has asked him to remove it, citing complaints from neighbours.
The 54-year-old Nelson says he lives on a street with many elderly people and although he's proud of his purchase, he's willing to comply with his landlord's request.
But Nelson says many others in the community are not offended by the hearse, once used to transport coffins.
He says he had the vehicle parked at a local takeout restaurant on Tuesday and it drew a crowd, including a priest and his son.
