A man was found fatally shot in the head inside his van in the parking lot of a Queens funeral home, cops said.

The 60-year-old man was discovered in the driver’s seat with what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot around 8 p.m. Friday, cops said. The parking lot is used by the Walsh-Labella & Son Funeral Home on 87th Street near Jamaica Avenue in Woodhaven.

The funeral director told The Post he was unaware of the body until police called him to say they found it inside a van on his lot. There were no workers at the funeral home at the time, said the man, who asked not to be named.

He added that the gates to the parking lot are not kept locked and that many people in the neighborhood also use it for parking.

The dead man, who was not immediately identified, did not leave a suicide note, sources said.

He was living nearby on 87th Street, sources said.
