The chapel ia profusely decorated with palms, ferns, and other plants of rars foliage. The appointments of the chapel are ideal for the correct direction of a funeral without the confusion which often attends a church or residence fui end service. E .trance may be my de to the chapel either thru the rcepton < ffice or from the street. About 175 people can be seated in thetbapel A. D.
