Delta Funeral Home Offers
Complete, Modern Service

Ing this in mind, Acevedo can
handle all details. He does every
thing from handling legal details
to the placing OF headstones.
T~wenty-four years in this line en-
ables him TO anticipate the very
need for such an occasion.
The two-story funeral home was
constructed recently for Jose
Besteirc. The building was planned
for a funeral home and conse-
quently it is well arranged.
A complete new set OF equipment
haj been purchased from the Or
leans Manufacturing company Of
New Orleans, perhaps the oldest
and best known concern OF its
type in the south. II has been in
operation for the past As years.
Caskets Of all types have been
stocked. Anything from : modest
funeral TO the most elaborate
Catholic services can be arranged
by the Delta Funeral Home.
The firm has a set OF grass rugs
for use at interments. This is a
feature offered by few funeral
homes in South Texas. II also has
elaborate candelabras and catal-
faques. Suits. dresses and robes
in appropriate taste al be obtained
from the firm also.
Hearse and ambulance service is
offered "a hours a day. The garage
is located in such a manner that
rush ambulance calls can get away
without delay. This, Acevedo points
out. Is an important item in a
life-and-death call. The firm does
not limit itself 10 Brownsville. but
will answer calls anywhere in the
Valley.
All embalming IS done by a
licensed embalmer.
