得來速瞻仰遺容。
Paradise Funeral Chapel recently started offering the option, which allows mourners to pay their last respects on the go. It was designed in part to cater to those with physical limitations.
「樂園葬禮小禮拜堂葬儀社」最近開始提供這個選項，讓弔唁者邊移動、邊向往生者致上最後敬意。此一設計部分立意在於顧及身體不便之弔唁者的需求。
The funeral home’s president, Ivan (EYE’-vuhn) Phillips, says he expects more customers to opt for the drive-thru once they learn it’s not a gimmick and is safe to use.
該葬儀社總裁艾文‧菲利普斯說，他預期客人一旦發現得來速瞻仰遺容並非噱頭，安全上也沒有問題後，就會有更多人選擇此一方式。
