Try Peabody Conservatory. Possibly the laying out of the body and funeral began at either the home of the Peabody's or what is not the Peabody Conservatory. There is listed "Peabody Institute of The Johns Hopkins University". It is a musical school. Public Relations/Peabody News..410-659-8163. You might try them first, but also the Maryland Historical Society. Death's at that time were most often handled out of the home,even when a mortician was involved. I've reviewed mortician records. Hope this is helpful. Robin J.
