There is little to add, the hearse in Spain has deserved a museum. Perhaps the idea is a bit macabre but certainly unique and interesting.
The preserved chariots are in fact from periods between the end of the nineteenth century and the mid-twentieth century and equipped with an information sign that explains their function, because each type of chariot had a different function based on the type of burial.
The hearse museum in Barcelona has 19 polished pieces for both poor and imperial heights, there are explanations of the various rites and who they transported.
While no one knows how their days will end, one thing we can have a say in is how to say our last goodbye.
For centuries, families have invested small fortunes in offering their loved ones a worthy posting to the afterlife. The Museu de Carrosses Fúnebres in Barcelona houses one of the finest collections of hearses and hearses in Europe and helps trace the history of funeral customs in Spain over the last few centuries.
Competing with the likes of the Sagrada Familia and the Gothic Cathedral, the Funeral Car Museum is not one of the most famous or busiest museums in Barcelona, ​​but it is one of the most unique and unusual in the city.
Open since the 1970s, the museum was founded by the then municipal funeral director Cristóbal Torra, as a way to preserve the funeral carriages of the past for future generations.
Technological and cultural changes meant that many of the funeral carriages that for years served the local community were obsolete, however Torra sensed that these carriages had to be preserved for posterity.
