Take back the word, " home" from the funeral industry

From now on, when I  read a statement or press release about the funeral services industry (for instance the company Service Corporation International, SCI) and it talks about "funeral homes"  ...  I will post a comment on that feed.

The funeral industry has high-jacked the word, HOME.  Going into a "funeral home" is nothing like a home, a house or a building where someone lives...  A funeral facility is space dedicated to gathering people to say goodbye to a loved person.  That's it, period.  It has very little "homeness".  It can't. 

The owners of the facility are set up to handle many families on a daily / weekly basis.  It is a facility to do just that.

Please take a moment next time you are inside a funeral service facilty and tell me if you feel at home.
