    3. Hi Robyn and Joy, National Funeral Home was on Union Ave. where the interstate was built (I 240 or whatever the number is) that goes thru midtown Memphis. It was one of the main funeral homes in the city, and it probably merged with another. I think perhaps a call to one of the f. h. listed in the Memphis telephone directory would get you information on where the National F. H. files are held. Fortune's Jungle Gardens, a favorite teen-age drive-in on Union Ave., also fell prey to the Interstate. The National Cemetery on Jackson Ave. is just that - a National (Federal) Cemetery for burial of soldiers. Best wishes, Cora Robyn wrote: > >There was also no National Funeral Home.
