[QUOTE="ThreeShadows, post: 539954, member: 6370"] [URL]http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_did_the_term_funeral_parlor_come_into_being[/URL] Our circa 1820 house in Maine has a North parlor and a South one. I always got goose bumps in the North parlor. An old Mainer died a few years ago and asked for a traditional viewing in an open pine casket in his parlor. All his friends were invited and he was not embalmed. That was unusual enough to cause people to talk. I saw the movie The Loved One when I was 15. It took me a while to understand it. One of my great aunts in France was so terrified of death that she slept in a coffin, or so they say. I know Sarah Bernhardt traveled with a coffin, maybe it was just a family legend. I rather wish they would put me out in the garden so I could feed the birds. Life goes on. [/QUOTE]
