- Go to Sleeping In A Hearse
That is sick to say the least. I can certainly understand your son's feelings about this.

A weird guy, obviously. And I too got a laugh out of Son #1's remark...

Re: anibanerjee
I am very much familiar with it. I have always said that I want to die on my feet doing something helpful and not in a bed in a nursing home somewhere. We do not always get what we want, but we can aim for it.

I wonder if you have read Emily Dickinson's "Because I could not stop for death" / He kindly stoped for me. Death waited patiently for her to first finish her chores, and she too obliged returning His civility by climbing the coach drawn by two horses facing Eternity. The hearse carried her, Death and Eternity. Somehow I find that poem quite magnetic, though not many would say so.

A guy i went to school with owns a hearse and it's his main car! The yellow light on top of the hood works, too! It's a sight to see him and his kids drive around town in that thing!

Son just made me LOL. The hearse is coming and going so often that Son said, "Maybe he is an Uber Driver. Can you imagine a hearse driver motioning for you to climb in the back?.

Re:
Actually, I don't think he lives here. Neither Son nor I recognize him. I think he was staying with someone here. He left early this morning, but he is back and this time he parked right next to mine. He may get a surprise in the morning though. Every morning early before people go to work, the manager walks all four parking lots looking at all of the cars to see if they belong. If a car is conspicuously different than usual and the license is not on their list, they call towing.

Personally, I am grossed out by that entire concept; a person enjoying (apparently) such a vehicle! To each his own, but - Yikes! Sleeping with the dead, or where they were, just ain't my thing.

I think he is either going to live in or is getting ready to go camping. Not my idea but each to their own I suppose.

I would be worried like your son, probably about the hygenic aspect. I suppose it is hardly like sleeping on a handcart that moved the victims of the plague in London. I think though it might feel like it to Son and me.

I could never sleep in one either or for that matter, any vehicle, if anything due to discomfort. In the case of the hearse, there is that added death element.
We have a car wash customer who has a hearse. He has a custom paint job on it. It looks really cool.

Maybe the guy just wants to rest peacefully on the road. Worry if he puts a big long box in it to sleep in.
