WATERLOO —
For most of the last century, you can buy Chesterfield or plan a funeral at the same Elmira company.
But if this is the furniture you want, if there is a funeral on the other side of the wall separating the two parts of the business, you may have to whisper.
Marion Ross remembers that her mother sometimes asks furniture shoppers to visit the dullesinger furniture company and promises to keep a low profile.
\"We have to keep quiet in the store because the sound will spread.
She would say, \"Shhh, the funeral is going on.
\"Rose is great --
Christian Dreisinger\'s granddaughter, who started his business at his home on the Cross Street in El Meira, is about £ 1905.
Soon after, he opened a joint furniture store and startup in the north of Arthur Street in the center of the village.
In the following years, he will also have ownership of kidina and Waterloo funeral home.
Rose\'s mother, Hazel Brown, works for the business and is a licensed embalmer and funeral director in Elmira.
Her sister Grace Maher has been the funeral director for 44 years and today she represents her fourth generation family and works in their great causegrandfather.
Rose saw the funeral industry as a natural part of life and business from an early age.
So she decided to look into the history of the funeral business of delisinger, especially the vehicles, which may be natural --
Spectacular, shiny, black cars, some gorgeous carved panels-
It used to transport the dead.
Sometimes, she notes, these vehicles are used to transport more lively passengers.

Do not throw paper scraps Strictly required)
Or the children go to the circus. On Monday, Oct.

History of publication, from a horse

A funeral car for dullesinger.
All are welcome to participate in the event, which will be held at apt location, Dreisinger Funeral Home, 62 Arthur Street. S. , Elmira.
Rose, 67, said she plans to write more about the funeral business in the Waterloo area in the coming months and years.
No, she doesn\'t want a movie deal.
\"This topic is not a topic that attracts the public --
Although it directly affects everyone
\"So my expectation is not to sell a lot of books,\" she noted in her introduction to the book.
But she says the funeral business is part of history and needs to be told.
\"My purpose and goal is to preserve the history and practice of these businesses --
Subjects that are often overlooked in local history books.

The previous fee, written in spider handwriting, had a 1937 anti-corrosion certificate in her mother\'s name.
After her grandfather died in 1952, Hazel Brown and her brother David Dreisinger ran the company.
\"We always call it \'shop\',\" recalls Roes \'.
We always stay in the store with my mom.
Like a second home.
We were in the furniture section most of the time because my mom was there.
\"In 1977, when the funeral home moved to No. 62 Arthur Street, the business was split. S.
Rose wrote in her book that David kept the funeral business and hazer kept the furniture store.
The furniture store closed in 2006 and the building was demolished in 2007 to make way for a shopper\'s Pharmacy on Arthur and Church Streets.
In 2009, Dreisinger funeral home was purchased by current owners Monty and Karen Steenson.
Rose\'s book includes 49 photos and photo postcards of Dreisinger\'s funeral car and a brief description of the year, production and anecdotes.
This is not a narrative, but a synopsis of interesting facts about funeral vehicles and photos.
A hearse called \"Black Maria\" was displayed on the cover, pulled by two horses and covered with white nets to avoid flies.
Covering horses with nets is not common, says Roes.
A white net for a child\'s funeral;
The funeral of an adult is in black.
Tom McPherson, a respected professional vehicle historian living in Toronto, helped Roes identify vehicles used by her family\'s businesses.
He called her after finding two photos of Ross\'s funeral vehicle, which was posted by copywriter Jon fear in the recorded weekly Flash.
McPherson and fear, she says, provide the motivation for the book.
Rose said she was not sure why a funeral home and a furniture store would be merged into a business.
For retailers selling wooden furniture, the sale of wooden coffins was once quite common.
Some early bearing underta may also make coffins or wooden furniture.
But there is still a long way to go from a furniture retail store.
Roes said that in early 1900, a small town\'s funerals needed a second source of income because there would not be many funerals in a year.
Many tours were held in private residences.
Unlike her sister, Rose has no same interest in joining a family business.
As a young woman, she only works occasionally at Dreisinger, in terms of furniture.
\"You know it\'s a bit unusual because of people\'s comments, but it\'s not something special or strange,\" she said . \".
After graduating from high school, she became a Canadian Bell service representative and then worked for several non-
Profitable institutions.
She worked as an executive at a local funeral home, followed by a church secretary.
When she began digging into her family\'s family tree in the 1990 s, Rose discovered her call.
Local History \"took over my life,\" she said with a smile \".
\"This is mainly what I do.
\"She spent a few hours in the Grace Schmidt Local History Room at the kidina public library and was impressed by all the work the volunteers have done to keep records of the region\'s past.
She was encouraged to join a long list of groups now, including the Waterloo Regional Chapter of the Ontario clan society and the Waterloo Historical Society, who was the former chairman of the society.
She is the editor of the Historical Society Newsletter and the administrator of the Facebook page.
She has written countless local history articles and is also the author of a book on the history of the Lee Man coaching line, which operates in the region from 1916 to 1980.
Rych Mills, another local historian, said Roes is known for its meticulous research, good memory and curiosity about local history, especially the history associated with her.
\"There\'s nothing that interests her, really,\" Mills said . \" He was also a man of the past.
President of Waterloo Historical Society.
