Old Funeral was one of the first bands to form in the Norwegian extreme metal scene, getting its start in 1989.

 New York Daily News - Boroughs - Preservationists fear for old funeral home   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Preservationists plan to rally in front of the Richmond Hill Republican Club and Simonson's Funeral Home this afternoon in an effort to save the latter, which they fear could be destroyed upon completion of its pending sale to a local Realtor.
Although Kearns would have continued to operate Simonson's as a funeral home, preservationists are worried that Impact might demolish the building and take advantage of current zoning regulations, which allow the construction of one- or two-family houses on the site.
A Victorian house across the street from Simonson's was sold to Impact Homes in 2001 with a deed restriction preventing the developer from tearing it down for five years, Graziano said.
