I heard this in "Gloomy Sunday" song. Is it true that it means: "the death coach carried you to unknown place..."?
Thanks.

It's probably "know", not "no".– Catija ♦Jun 15, 2015 at 15:20

I believe this is the lyric you're writing about:
Not where the black coach
Of sorrow has taken you.
The general meaning is that the "black coach of sorrow" is a metaphor for death, and the implied place it has taken the person being sung about is the afterlife.
This lyric poetically expresses the metaphor that death is like a journey to a place from which a person cannot return.

2To put it in easier words: “Little white flowers will never awaken you / Not where the black coach of sorrow has taken you” could be paraphrased/explained as, “The little white flowers people put on your coffin/grave will never bring you back to life—not from the place where death has brought you”.
