Abstract
Disclosed herein is a compartment conveniently situated in the rear compartment of a hearse for storing the flags that are frequently magnetically attached to the roofs of vehicles in a funeral procession. Vehicles displaying these flags are typically accorded certain traffic privileges, and occasionally, bystander respect, as the procession wends its way from the funeral service to the gravesite. The disclosed compartment necessarily has a door compatible and continuous with the paneling of the rear transport area, a pivoting tray pivotally attached to the floor of the compartment and a magnetized transport tray sized to fit on the pivoting tray and easily removed to facilitate the distribution of the magnetized flags.
