Mortuary services in 1937?

Does anyone know if any mortuary and/or funeral service companies might still exist from the 1930s? I contacted Hong Kong Funeral Home ( advertised as oldest in Hong Kong ) and they said they were not in business that far back. I am trying to find who might have handled a funeral in 1937 and also if they are still in business today. I would also like to know if anyone can tell me the average cost of a burial back then? I have a figure of $1358. and would like to know if this figure was high, low or average for the era.
