By the way, in a conventional van-type hearse trolley, a rear entrance is provided by opening a rear part of the vehicle body, and a rear door or a double-door type rear door is attached to the entrance. Are common. Further, in recent years, in the field of the van type automobile industry, a streamline type has been adopted as a vehicle shape in order to give a sense of quality. However, when a streamlined car is used as a hearse trolley, the rear door is slanted, so the effective area of the room is reduced by that amount, and when storing a hearse, close the rear door. When the vehicle is running or when the hearse carriage is running, the rear door may easily hit the corner of the rear end of the hearse, which may cause discomfort to the attendant at the rear seat and may be rude. In addition, when carrying a hearse at a funeral, it is particularly strong to carry the hearse without compromising the dignity of the corpse, quietly, and of any size and shape, without hitting the rear door. Despite being requested, if the corner of the rear end of the hearse hits the rear door when the rear door is closed or when the hearse carriage is running, the window glass of the rear door is scratched. This is very inconvenient because it may destroy the grand atmosphere of the bed hearse.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a door panel capable of securing a wide effective indoor area at a rear portion of a vehicle body by a simple improvement even in a streamlined vehicle body. An object of the present invention is to provide a hearse trolley capable of preventing a collision with a hearse or the like.
