My father asked me an interesting question yesterday that I can't answer am hoping someone out there can. When family members were buried on family property, such as these little gravesites you see in the middle of fields, etc., were funeral homes involved in that or were they jus buried and a stone erected? I know often times the bodies were laid out in the homes for several days before burial, but who took on the responsibility of the burial and stone? Also when did actual funeral homes come into existence as far as that being a place to hold a funeral and not just meet with the undertaker? I hope I haven't made my questions too confusing, I'm really not sure how to word what I'm thinking. Kari Andrew Farnell researching Andrew, Lomax, Appel, Fischbach
