Hearse Drivers Take Detour For Coffee (With A Serviceman’s Coffin Inside!)

A concerned citizen spotted a hearse in the parking lot of a New Port Richey Dunkin’ Donuts in Florida on Tuesday with its curtains open and the coffin visible.  The coffin according to The Associated Press via Yahoo Autos had the body of Lt. Col. Jesse Coleman who served in Korea and in Vietnam.  The hearse was transporting him from Clearwater’s Veteran’s Funeral Care to his funeral.

Rob Carpenter, who was the concerned citizen, confronted the two drivers of the hearse and sent the video and pictures to Veteran's Warriors, who posted them on their facebook page.

The president of Veteran's Funeral Care fired the two drivers and made an apology to the Coleman family.
