SPRINGFIELD -- State police got a strange bit of goodwill Tuesday. A funeral home donated a hearse.
It comes complete with a casket.

The honor guard will use it to train with. They perform the funeral ceremony for state troopers.

They say it will be a good chance to practice exactly what real ceremonies will be like. Previously, the honor guard practiced for funerals by carrying a table and putting it on another one to simulate the hearse.
