With respect to the proposed key, I would invite you to consider an alternative way of tagging this function. In various countries and in various religions the approaches on how to say good-bye to the dead are different. I am thinking of the "camera ardente" in Italy or the "Aufbahrung" in Germany, these are ways of providing this in different contexts. What about a tag that can be added to any kind of place, a funeral director's or a chapel or the town hall, indicating that this kind of farewell can be arranged. I do not have the correct wording in GB English right now ("laying out"?), but the concept would be not to create a tag that implies a dedicated building, but to create a tag for the function that can be added to a building or a "shop". <this would obviously include the possibility of tagging a dedicated funeral hall.
