Remodernizatio.n
Of Phelps Home
Is Improvement
Mortuary Appoint
ments Equal Many
in Larger Cities
A mortuary with appointments
as fine as many to be found in much
larger places than Heppner was re
alized this week with complete re
modernization of Phelps Funeral
home. While Mr. and Mrs. R. C.
Phelps, the managers, have kept
apace with the ideals of their pro
fession in their several years' loca
tion here, the remodernization of
their funeral home is a stride taken
after months of planning to give the
best of service with the resources at
their command.
Landscaping of the exterior made
the home one of the show places of
the city last summer, and now with
rearrangement of interior, redecor
ation and installation of indirect
lighting facilities the entire plant
is attractive and conveniently ar
ranged for funeral services.
When one presses the electric
button at the front door his presence
is announced by soft chimes. The
door opened, an attractive hall wel
comes the entrance to a spacios of
fice and reception room opening
through a Grecian arch to the right.
The reception room is furnished with
overstuffed furniture, and heavy
mauve carpeting covers the floor
here as in hallway, and the display,
chapel, music and family rooms later
to be visited, the carpet being laid
in the course of recent improve
ments.
A door opening at the rear of the
office takes one to the casket dis
play room, indirectly lighted with
"daylight" electric bulbs, where the
caskets are attractively displayed
on shelves on either side of the room.
The chapel is entered through
double swinging, glass paneled doors
opening across the hall directly op
posite the reception room entrance,
ere, as throughout, light, cheerful
wall hues are contrasted with be
coming drapes, the chapel drapes
being of wine colored velvet. Altar,
and pews for seating 75 persons are
installed, these being finished in
light oak. The family room opens to
the rear of the chapel, its full-width
opening being cut off from the chap
el only by a silken silver screen
through which occupants of the fam
ily room may see into the chapel, but
which obscures the room to view of
chapel occupants. The family room
has a seating capacity of 25 persons.
Just across the hall from the en
trance to the family room one comes
to the music room, with open-arched
entrance hung with wine colored
drapes of material the same as that
in the chapel. A sound box between
the ceiling of the music room and the
chapel carries the music to the audi
tors there while the musicians them
selves are out of view. A button at
the altar may be pressed by the
minister conducting the service to
notify the musicians by a little red
light bulb when they are to com
mence. The music room is provided
with a small piano.
A door at the rear of the hallway
leads to the rear entrance through
which all the mortician's work is
handled.
One leaves the funeral home with
out depressed spirits caused by any
physical surroundings. He feels that
he has visited not a "morgue," in the
meaning the word is prone to con
vey, but that he has glimpsed some
of the beauty that Christian teach
ing has taught is connected with an
after life of right living.
