Ever wished that you didn't have to leave your car to view a loved one who has died?

A Virginia funeral home, Farmville's Oliver & Eggleston Funeral Establishment, is now offering drive-thru viewing services. The company is staying consistent with its motto: "Services That's Distinctive--Experience The Difference."

Other drive-thru funeral viewings are reportedly on offer in California, Chicago and Louisiana. But it's thought that Oliver & Eggleston -- which also provides horse-drawn hearses, as well as other unusual accommodations -- is the first business to offer this service in the Old Dominion.

"Somebody's got to be the first one," Eggleston told WTVR. "We just offer the families something different, so they have options."

No, Mr. Eggleston, sometimes there doesn't need to be a first one.


Coming to a living room near you. View your deceased loved one in high def.
