...the horse drawn hearse in front of Disneyland's Haunted Mansion ride once carried Brigham Young's body. Does anyone know if this is true?...The Hearse is an 8 collumn mosque top. It is probably circa 1888, and too new to be Brigham Young's hearse. Of course, Brigham Young lived next to the Salt Lake Temple, and there was no need for a hearse to carry the coffin, due to the short distance involved.
: How much do similar hearses sell for? As far as value is concerned, I would say if you were real lucky, you might find such a hearse for $7,000.
Is it possible to buy a new(er) replica? The Justin Carriage work builds a replica that reminds me of the Hearse symbol of Phantom Coaches.Costs $12,500.
