I had the same problem. I finally found the village answer from the copy of the "Funeral Register Book" from the funeral home that buried my grandfather. Its a standard type book that all funeral directors use and are required by law to maintain. If they have gone out of business they would have placed their register books with another funeral home that is still in business. Neil Teixeira
