Wilmette 3730 ; Our New Funeral Home In announcing the readiness of our handsome! y appointed Funeral-Home at 1 I 09 Central Ave., Wilmette, we believe we are taking a step that will anticipate the need of many. Here in the quiet, refined atmosphere of perfectly appointed rooms, a funeral may be conducted with all the dignity and seclusion that marks even the finest home. The furnishings are designed to carry out the atmosphere of home and rhe entire environment carries the home-like touch that is far removed by the general idea of an Undertaker's Chapel. A .private room is provided for the family and to all intents and purposes the funeral might well be conducted within the most secluded home. This .. we feel, will meet the growing demand for some place ~utside the home where the funeral services may be conducted with dignity and propriety. Modern living conditions contribute Jargel y to this need and beyond all is the development of the idea that funeral services conducted outside the home help to lift the shadow of death from the home surroundings. , This is one more progressive step in the development of an undertaking service that we plan to make complete to the last essential. It is another link tn the chain of courteous , painstaking. after . death service that we are welding . It is a service of which we are proud and to which we sincerely commend you in time of need. Times change, conditions change-the type of service in every line' must also change. With us you will find every change anticipated a little ahead of the general trend--£very .new thought applied promptly. It is constant seeking for improvement that has won for us the warm respect of the public.
