Out of curiosity as I've seen them referred to as both on here.
P.S. I could have sworn I added an 'Other' option.

It's a Touring. Mind, it doubles as a van - mainly Valentines Day, Mothers Day and funerals (any time!). In our family it's known as "Blingmobile".
Call mine an estate car, or tourer, at your peril!! (as several un-informed morons who've had a patented essbee tongue-lashing will testify!)

Oh yeah! On the subject of hearses, several of our customers have commented that it's nicer getting their funeral flowers delivered in a nice gleaming black car rather than a signwritten white (or even worse, black & yellow) van.

I think 'Tourer' is used more often to describe BMW motorcycles.
