[HistoricCemeterieslistserv] Caldwell's Funeral Home in Portland sells furnishings

[W David Samuelsen]

That bring up a very big question...

What is happening to the funeral records/books ? They're valuable 
genealogy wise. I have seen many books like that in several funeral 
homes. Often containing many details not listed in obituaries or 
cemetery records.
