Best Answer

In the twenties and thirties, viewings of the deceased made the transition from the home parlor to the funeral parlor. One can credit or blame either the Depression- a down angle indeed ( l929-38) or Detroit- automobile accidents posing some damage control problems best handled behind closed doors- but restorable. Either cause could be true. Religious sisters are traditionally laid out in convent chapels so the home-wake custom is not totally extinct.
