Would a undertaker in the 1929 time frame, be registered with the state, and would there be a place I could look for records on individuals taken care of by a undertaker? This would be for the Oxford,area. If anyone can help. Thanks,Nancy

Just to relate a short story from personal experience that might help you, I pass this along. On one of my visits to Water Valley in search of records on my ggf, I stopped at the local funeral home. They had ledgers that went back to the late 1890s that they "inherited" from the former hardware/supply store. I found a record of 2 great-uncles who bought a casket for their father, my ggf, at the store for $25. It also had the date and cause of death recorded. It would appear to me that you should have a similar experience if you were to personally contact the funeral home(s) who might have provided the service. Sorry, but I do not know if undertakers in 1920 would have been registered by the state, and would like to know the answer also.
