is it something you would want to know before considering booking? i ask b/c i recently read on a fb post about the decades long funeral home/crematorium in my old home town becoming a costly b&b so i went to the b&b website to take a look at what i imagined HAD to have been major renovations only to find that while 'yeah' they did some work on the place-the guest rooms are easily recognizable to anyone who attended a service there as the old viewing rooms the actual prep room/crematorium area looks from the photos as though it was converted into a kitchen/buffet area on one side and a large outdoor patio w/a gas bbq on the other. the area where the hearses would drop off/pick up has been landscaped to appear to be a covered courtyard (still retains the old double doors w/a straight shot to what is now the breakfast buffet area).
i GET that building usage can transition over time, esp. older historical buildings but this place was in full scale operation as recently as 8 years ago (last time our family used them) and there's not a mention of it's history on any of the marketing (except what i perceive as a poorly worded mention that it the new owners saw potential to the historic building and 'dusted it off' to create the b&b). i have to imagine that some guests might be very disturbed to learn during or after the fact where they slept, and esp. where they were sitting to dine.
