I Guess they could go back to the pre-depression era style of having
funerals at home.
Fun fact, the parlor, in the front of the house (the formal room in most
family homes), was nick-named the "dead/death room" because in many
family homes during the Spanish Flu pandemic, the dead were laid out in
this room for the viewing. Of course, these viewings at home were still
common in the era, but they became much more frequent in the 1918 - 1920
era because of the dead from the pandemic. After the pandemic, to
alleviate this terrible name, a trend was started to call this room the
"living room", to sound more bright and happy. Clearly, 100 years
later, the moniker has stuck.
This info was from the top of my head, but here's a source that agrees
and delves in:
