...since it got most righteously promoted to the FP, notwithstanding the issuer not knowing that in all civilized Countries the white hearses are used for the funerals of the children, to symbolize their purity and innocence.
And this because the comment "... it's not even black " moved a little my guts and made me puke in my mouth. What can I do? ...I've always been a quite emotional person!

The tradition appears far stronger in some countries than others. In the UK, there's even a "white hearse company" specializing in providing white hearses, but not just for infant/child use, but also for Asian funerals where white is preferred, and for funerals where a somber tone is discouraged. So, in the UK, the tradition clearly exists, but is not so strong as some...
Meanwhile, in the US (the location of the Caravan hearse), the tradition is eroded enough that its significance was asked - of all places - on a forum for the Professional Car Society. As a group specializing in limousines and hearses, you'd expect it to be better known, but it apparently isn't so much.
The best known use of a white hearse in the US, actually, was for JFK - such a bastion of purity and innocence, to be sure!
At any rate, you'll permit some members of the US oppo contingent to have been a bit "uncivilized" and ignorant when confronted with a very cheap non-formal vehicle, when extremely formal hearses are very much the norm. The conversion even retains lines where the rear window was covered - the rear windows having been cheaply capped off and no other visible serious modification being made.
(I did, on the strength of some portions of Tennessee having large Asian populations, think to check that angle, but Crossville does not appear to be such a town. Mostly poor white.)
