A more correct expression for the time period would be bårebil (stretcher/casket car) or begravelsesbil/bisettelsesbil (funeral car).

Thanks for the interesting update! I'm just quoting this for future AnimatronixX reference. It's just the same story in Germany with "Leichenwagen" and "Bestattungswagen". "Begravelsesbil" and "bårebil" look very familiar, but I can't remember having read "bisettelsesbil" anywhere before. I still think the one above (+ the one you found) were bodied by AKF, but it's more of an educated guess.
