Would you work in or live in a building that was formerly a funeral parlor?

[Alexd]

Why not? It's a good place, unless it's haunted lol

 

[Alexd]

Sure. Most of our homes are probably on Indian burial grounds anyways.

Voila, I was about to say that

yes- as long as i didn't have to coffin up alot of money

 

[SirWanker]

It would be the same as living over a cemetery. A good example is the sub-division that has been built at the SW corner of Warden/St.Clair in Scarborough. The land use to be a cemetery, at least to the late 1980's if memory serves correct. The original one is still there but at a much reduced footprint.

Sure, but only after a couple of stiff drinks with your ghoul friend!

Only if Ghost Whisperer star Jennifer Love Hewitt lived with me lol. Then it would be worth it.

This would make a great episode of My Ghost Story!

It would be a good excuse finally to hire a gothic looking SP.

Here is related question. Would you buy a house where the wife murdered her kids and husband and then committed suicide? Bad karma. Why take a chance?

 

[harryass]

Between the ages of 10 and 12 I lived in an old semi-detached. My bedroom was in the basement. A previous owner committed suicide by hanging himself in the basement. We also found $10k in cash from the 1940s hidden in the hot air ducts.

I just came back from my bike ride.

I thought I saw a cat (huge son of a gun) riding a bike on Chuch and Wellesley. Hee, hee, hee. Insert "cat riding bike" smilie here.

 

[Ceiling Cat]

Yeah, that was me.

 

[Rockslinger]

Yeah, that was me.

I think that bike with the huge front wheel and much smaller back wheel is called a "pennyfarthing(sp)". This was before the invention of gears (by the Germans I think).

[Thunderballs]

Wouldn't bother me. It is just a building.

 

[spankingman]

How about these in Hamilton
We have a FP on the Mountain that at one time was a MOTHERS PIZZA!!!
Another FP downtown is now a COMMUNITY-DAYCARE CENTER!!!

A funeral parlor is bad enough, some of these places do mortuary work. This is where they embalm and do things to make the body presentable. I saw a documentary on TV about the things they would do to a body.
