I agree that it looks pretty similar to a 1970s Lincoln Continental for the most part. However, those are some rather large bumpers for 1971. This style of bumper, with black rubber strips no less, makes this hearse look like a post-1973 automobile. Yes, these bumpers were introduced in 1973, but it wasn't until 1974 that it was required to have both front and rear bumpers of this kind. Click the link below for details.

The grille shows that it can't be any newer than 1976, as the '77 through '79 models had upright Rolls-Royce inspired grilles which were used on the Mark series Continentals. I'd say it's a 1974 - 1976.
