Summary: Funeral Parlour For Gays (Press, 13 February 1984)
A funeral home that specifically caters to the homosexual community in San Francisco has opened its doors, according to a report from NZPA-Reuter on 13 February 1984. The establishment, founded by licensed undertaker Mr Tommy Simpson, claims to be the only one of its kind in the world. Simpson, a gay man who grew up in a mortuary, expressed his motivation to create a service that provides more personal care for the gay community, particularly during times of loss. He stated, "I have seen and felt a need to offer more personal service to gays." The funeral home is located near Castro Street, a focal point for San Francisco's large homosexual community, further reinforcing its commitment to serving this demographic at a critical time in their lives.
