The swoop-y corpse carriage you see above was created by the Ellena Autotrasformazioni company. It started life as a diesel-powered Maserati Ghibli. Then it was stretched by just over 64 inches, bringing its total length to just over 21-and-a-half feet. 。Mashable Light SpeedWant more out-of-this world tech, space and science stories?Mashable Light SpeedWant more out-of-this world tech, space and science stories?Sign up for Mashable's weekly Light Speed newsletter.。

Importantly, in fitting with its fancy exterior styling and low-profile sport tires, the hearse offers some luxurious features, including "pretend nautical leather," wreath door hooks and a stainless steel removable cross (just in case the deceased isn't Christian).。

While it's a bit silly to make a mid-size sport sedan into a hearse, I do respect Ellena Autotrasformazioni for daring to continue the car's sporty body lines in to the fiber-glass add-on. Just because the car transports the deceased doesn't mean the vehicle needs to be ugly.。

Kudos, Ellena.
