From the National Register nomination
Two-story, four-bay building erected for Etter Funeral Home in 1941 of brick-faced cinder blocks, and completely remodeled in 1984. Designed to resemble a Colonial Revival dwelling, the building has a side-gabled main block veneered in stretcher-bond brick with jack arches over window openings. While most of the exterior is brick-veneered, some walls are covered in viny] siding. False interior end brick chimneys, modern double-hung windows, and a recessed front entry with a broken-pediment surround, paneled embrasure, and double-leaf door complete the detailing of the building. The building's original plan, shown on the 1948 Sanborn map, has been little altered. Front reception toems, a large chapel, and service areas to the side and rear have been left in place, and are augmented by a large enclosed rear garage.
