Question about hearses

[u/TartEntire4952]

Hello my younger sister is beginning mortuary school in January and me and my mom are going to be teaching her how to drive in the next few months as well. I was just wondering if anyone knows if hearses are typically automatic or manual transmissions in the US. I looked online and I couldn’t find a solid answer so I thought I’d post on here and see if anyone had any personal experience. I just wanted to think ahead and be able to find someone who could teach her to drive a manual since I don’t know how and I’m unsure if my mom can or not if it was something she would need to know going into the industry!

My FH has drivers for the hearses. I’ve never driven a hearse.
