A magnificently crafted hearse at the front of Fry Brothers Undertakers headquarters at 395 High Street, Maitland.
Undertaking and cabinet-making went together in colonial Australia and the Fry Brothers made a particular success of it using this building, which still exists, at 395 High Street.
In 1910 they had three competitors, A.S. Mehan and Company, Frank Ward and William Loan and Sons.

The building is now home to Hunter Mobility in the Heritage Mall.
