Mail by hearse: Pender County postal carrier explains her morbid ride

ROCKY POINT, NC (WWAY) — On most days, you’ll find Jennifer Chesson cruising Pender County in a 2003 Cadillac hearse.  

No, she’s not a funeral director, and she’s not making deliveries to the departed. She’s actually hauling mail. 

“I’ll be at mailboxes, and then cars will start going slow past me and then I’ll look over and there’s a phone. Or people come running out of their houses with their phones. I’ve gone through neighborhoods and little kids will do like that little truck horn thing for me to blast my horn as I go past,” Chesson said. 

Chesson works for the Rocky Point Post Office, delivering USPS packages five days a week.
