Corpse House (Funeral Home)
Posted by Brian from Shawnee on January 13, 2005
Apparently in certain parts of Northeatern Pennsylvania a funeral home is called a "corpse house". This is apparently a colloquial expression used by older folks, which you wouldn't see printed in a newspaper, etc. Our local nutty weatherman used the term on TV this morning.
Another old-fashioned name is "funeral parlor". It's formal rather than colloquial, but you don't hear that one much anymore.
