An important
factor in determining whether a funeral home is a nuisance is the suitability
of its location. “Funeral homes are generally located on the edge of purely
residential but not predominantly residential areas.” Bauman v. Piser
Undertakers Co., 34 Ill. App. 2d 145, 148, 180 N.E.2d 705, 708 (App. Ct. 1962).
A carefully run funeral home may be located on a property zoned for business at
the edge of a residential neighborhood. Id. The funeral home in this case is
located in a predominantly rural area. It is outside the boundary lines of the
Up and Coming Acres subdivision. It is a lawful business located on a parcel
zoned for business. The funeral home is in a suitable location.
