funeral home \fu"ner*al home`\, n.
An establishment, usually commercial, where the bodies of
dead persons are prepared for viewing before burial or
cremation; called also funeral parlor, mortuary, funeral
chapel and informally, undertaker's. The body may or may
not be preserved by embalming before viewing or burial, and
in some cases the body is not exposed for viewing, though
present in a casket. Often, some form of memorial service is
held for the deceased at the funeral home, where friends and
relatives may come to pay their respects to the dead, and
express condolence to the family. The work of preparation of
the body and many other arrangements related to the funeral
and burial are carried out by an undertaker or mortician who
manages the funeral home.
