What? I Never Thought of That?

I hesitate to bring death into the blogosphere unnecessarily, but this thought struck me for the first time as I was riding the B63 up Fourth Avenue through Brooklyn. I’m shocked that I’d always taken this for granted without even once questioning why, but now I pose the question to everyone.

Why are mortuaries, funeral chapels, or funeral parlors often called funeral homes? Wouldn’t it make more sense if the gravesite was a funeral home and the mortuary simply a funeral hotel or temporary resting place?

I’m baffled.
