Studebaker hearse.

I wasn't sure Matt's pictured hearse was a Model T as a few things like the grille didn't look right. Here's one with the standard T grille

Here's another with uncarved wood.

This is from the Professional Car Society's site. Owned by Mike Reifer, as told by Cary Livingston, who owns that gray Model T hearse above.

I came across these two quite classy looking last rides on the "Just a Car Guy" blog. Their moderate gothic ornamentation makes them relatively tasteful.

One of Dave's (XP-300) submissions from his Delivery Trucks thread. I wonder if he realized he had a hearse among your Hudson submissions.

Not necessarily a hearse. Might have been a "service car" used to transport tents and other paraphenalia to the burial site. Sometimes fairly plain cars were also used as "first call" vehicles to retrieve the recently deceased from the home. Fewer neighbors peeking thru the curtains that way.
