"Funeral homes" (or "parlors"), were rare into the 1930s. A deceased was generally prepared for burial 'at home', where there was a 'wake', if any. My grandfather was a close friend to his cousin, an undertaker who had a "funeral parlor". In 1938, Grandpa unexpectedly died in his bed and the cousin was the 'undertaker' and the wake was 'at home', which I remember as we lived there.
