Mmmm .... I agree, that's my point. 'Chapel of Rest' isn't a place, at best it sometimes might be a dedicated room in a funeral establishment. Apparently, it is not infrequently the showroom for caskets if a larger attendance needs to be accommodated. > Problem 2.

Canada seems to be similar to the US. Viewing / Visitation seem to translate well https://www.floridafuneralhome.com/Content/Media/FloridaFuneralHomeAndCrematory/Spa%20-%20Crem%20w%20View%202018-07-01.pdf زيارة مشاهدة الجنازة ( Arabic ) goes to 'Funeral watch visit', i.e. it survives round trips through google Translate. 'Chapel of Rest' seems to be one of those terms like 'Take the goat to the butcher and have the butcher butcher the animal into cuts of meat.' The location takes on the name of an ephemeral activity that occurs in it, or the entity temporarily occupying it.
