Dear Ann Landers,
urs is an unusual problem. We will change the names, but I don't think we will fool anyone in our town. Our daughter is going with a nice young man. He works for a relative who is a funeral director. When Delbert comes to call on our daughter he sometimes drives over in the hearse. My husband and I do not like the looks of the hearse in front of our house. It creates a lot of talk among the neighbors, and sometimes strangers who are passing by just stand around and look. We mentioned this to Delbert, and he said, "A hearse is nothing to be ashamed of. It's a part of my job." My husband and I would be so much happier if Delbert would walk to our place or take a bus. What is your opinion?-Mr. and Mrs.

Dear M and M,
Since the hearse is part of Delbert's job and he is not ashamed of it, tell him to park it in front of his house. You have the right to ask the young man to use more con-ventional transportation, and I hope you will.
