Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Car barn of the Cleveland Electric Railway, with the railway's funeral car (left), in 1900 in Cleveland, Ohio, in the United States.

The company built the car in 1899, and permitted it to be used by the Cleveland City Railway and various interurban lines serving Cleveland. It was 28 feet long and 8 feet wide. It was painted ebony black with gold trim, and green tapestry and yellow silk covered the windows.

The interior had two compartments. The front compartment had room for four caskets, and rubber rollers on the floor to help move caskets about. There were also shelves for storing floral arrangements, and the walls were covered in broadcloth. Drop-down doors allows caskets to be rolled into the car. The rear compartment contained rattan chairs and could seat up to 28 people.
