Fernwood?  That one's new to me.  Our photos show a car named Hillside.

I'm surprised that no one mentioned the Philly Funeral car - or did I miss
it.  It was called Fernwood.  I only know this because in 1973 Ed Torpey won
an East Penn contest with his model of the car.

I looked up the following information:

Chicago's funeral car was simply "Number One." Also read that St. Louis and
Buffalo had funeral cars.

I have seen photos of  Duluth, Minnesota's trolley "fire engine."
