Very interesting and from the 1 pic it looks to be solid.

Conversion company or done in Pedros garage? It looks nicely done

Conversion companies turned out a lot of these funeral and flower cars, popular in Uruguay and Argentina. Three more pics.

I'm aware which is why I asked. I'm surprised to see the trunk lid, usually a tailgate back there. This thing is cool

I'm assuming that the coffin sits on that platform right behind the cabin and the trunk lid is access to the space underneath the platform.
Perfect for Home Depot. 4x8's on top and 2x4's underneath.

The trunk might have been for budget burials...

I sure hope it has power steering could you just imagine driving at slow speed through some of the windy narrow roads in some of the older cemetery's.

Yes, your arms would become dead tired without power steering.

Yep, the title says Flower Car, although some of those also carried caskets, in any case, it's a beautiful thing.
