A police tow truck removed a minivan parked outside a New York City funeral home, giving its dearly departed passenger an unexpected side trip. An NYPD spokesman said there was “nothing to indicate it was more than just an illegally parked car.” Redden’s Funeral Home director Paul DeNigris said a windshield placard had fallen flat and the van’s tinted windows obscured the white cardboard box that held the remains. When DeNigris discovered the van missing last Monday, he rushed to the tow pound, where he discreetly explained the circumstances and got the van back. He also got the body to an airport in time for a scheduled flight to Miami. The people at the pound were kind enough to drop the $185 towing fee, but could do little about the $150 parking ticket, which DeNigris plans to fight because a funeral vehicle transporting a body is immune to parking regulations.
