While cruising the backroads of Mississippi, I came across this former funeral home that now sits abandoned. There was no signage on the building, only a small cross in the window next to a CLOSED sign. From what I could find, the owner opened the funeral home as a family business in the early 1980s. After his unexpected death about a decade ago, the family decided to close the funeral home. They moved the business to a larger city where they reopened under a different name.
Thank you for reading. I appreciate the support. Please share the blog with your friends.

Strange that so much was left behind. Caskets aren’t cheap. Plenty of people would be interested in that hearse.

I was thinking that too, a lot of inventory.

No dust or debris on them hardly? Those weren’t left behind, there’s no way people weren’t in that funeral home before this article was done.

Why are there so many things left behind? Seems like such a waste. Those hearses are wonderful. How would one contact the owners about purchasing them ?

Would you be able to share where this is located? I’m in locations in the film business in New Orleans. Might work well for a location for a current project of mine. Thanks!

You would think that the family, while opening and operating a funeral home in a new location, under a different name, would have either taken most of these items left behind with them or donated them. I’m pretty sure they could have used some of these in their new funeral home.
