| In Canada, Dominion Manufactuers was building a line of high-grade
coaches on extended Canadian Dodge chassis. For 1922 they offered traditional carved-panel coaches and a
number of limousine-style combination coaches and ambulances. A beautiful black combination pallbearers' coach and
ambulance reflected a european style yet to be seen south of the border. During the late 1920s Dominion entered into a distribution deal with the Boston-based National Casket Company. Dominion was the exclusive distributor of National-Kissel and National-REO funeral coaches and ambulances in Canada until the mid-1930s. Post-WWII A.J. Miller coaches were distributed in Canada by Dominion Manufactuers Ltd, an old Toronto-base firm who manufactured caskets and other funeral supplies.
