THEMAFirmendarstellung
TEXTAmong the popular undertakers in Harlem there are none better known or more liberally patronized than Mr. John W. Lyon, who has his funeral furnishing room at Nos. 74 and 76 East 125th Street. The house is well known as the leading representative one in this line in Harlem and has the finest line of coaches and hearses. The stores occupied are eligibly located and beautifully fitted up and equipped for the business. There is a large stock of caskets of the finest description and all classes of undertaking goods of the best order at the most reasonable prices. In the execution of duties he is prompt and attentive, and is recognized as a leader in his profession. He takes full charge of affairs either day or night and exercises great care and consideration, and in the direction of funerals and the embalming of bodies gives his personal attention to all the details in the most satisfactory manner. He has been established here for the past ten years, and the business done is with the best people of this community and takes a wide range of this section of the city and its suburbs. He has a fine office, elegantly fitted up for the reception of patrons, to whom he gives the most considerate attention. Mr. Lyon is long resident in this city, where he has always enjoyed the respect and confidence of the whole community, and is honored and esteemed by all who know him in either business or social circles, and is one of the leading citizens of Harlem. With regard to the embalming process, many advantages over the old fashioned ice-box are claimed for it with no increase of cost. Many of the unpleasantnesses connected with the old method are avoided, and contagion and decomposition are effectually prevented. As the pioneer in this city of the art of embalming, many interesting facts regarding it may be learned from Mr. Lyon.
