Complete in Every Detail


west that can show a suite of under
taking parlors as complete in every
detail, as convenient in arrangement
and as rich in furnishings as the
suite of parlors opened today by the
Gourley-Platt Furniture & Undertake
ing Company. in the handsome new
building recently erected by the
Grand Valley National Bank. The
undertaking parlors open on Fifth
street at No. 229. The windows
bear handsome signs. and an electric
sign marks the location at night.
Messrs. Gourley and Platt have
been giving their attention to the
fitting up of the parlors and morgue
for several weeks, and the result of
their work should certainly prove
most satisfactory to them. Those
who have visited the suite have been
greatly impressed by the beauty of
the rooms.
The suite consists of chapel, a
chapel is 2Ix25 feet in size. On the
floor is laid rich and exceedingly
beautiful carpet of Stinson velvet OF
great thickness and attractive color
Along the southern side of the room
is arranged a tier of handsome cas-
ket cabinets of the most up-to-date
pattern. On the opposite side of the
apartment are the commodious
glass cases for the costly white and
plush caskets and the dry goods.
These cases are absolutely dust-proof
and are decidedly the finest and most
perfect set of dust-proof cases OBJ
tainable. They are superior to any
thing ever brought TO the city. Be
low the cases is a tier of large draw
ers holding other goods,
Delicate curtains over the large
windows break the effect of the
bright light and throw n soft glow
over the interior. On the walls of
the chapel hang elegant pictures Sc
lected with care and appropriate
taste. The windows and archways
are draped with the finest curtains,
harmoniziug perfectly with the sur
roundings
The consultation office is very
handsome little apartment separating
from the chapel by heavy .portierres.
Elegant furniture is in each room.
The morgue opens into the chapel
from the west and it is a spacious
room, fitted with all modern appli-
ances. A complete sewage system has
been installed.
Not detail has been overlooked
in any apartment, the arrangements
are most perfect. The rooms are
large, airy and well lighted. The SOM
her, gloomy, repellant appearance,
that usually characterizes undertake
ing parlors, is entirely missing. A
spirit of quiet restfulness removes
that air of distressful hopelessness
that many think should characterize
place that has felt the presence
of the dead.
Mr.. Gourley visited many under
taking establishments in various cit
les of the state before finally deeid
ing upon his plans, He has improved
upon almost every idea. The parlors
compare favorably with those of any
establishment in Denver. Pueblo
has none better. Victor and Cripple
Creek have nothing as good. The
firm certainly has model suite of
undertaking parlors, complete and
/ >rfect in every appointment.
Tor funeral services the chapel is
complete. By means of sliding cur
/ tains and portierres everything sug-
gestive of undertaking goods, all cas-
es and cabinets, are hidden from
view. and the room is then, in ey-
cry sense, purely a chapel. One hun
.dred people can be comfortably seat
ed during a service. Special atten-
ton has been given to this feature.
