Bell-Munden Construct
Modernistic Funeral Home
Carteret countians have in the
new Bell and Munden funeral
home, recently completed in More
head City, one of the most modern
and well-equipped mortuary estab
lishments in the state.
An imposing edifice of triple
range Ottawa buff brick in three
colors, the ultra-modern building
is located at 22nd and Arendell
streets. The modern design of Bell
Munden is the work qf Ferguson
architects of Kins ton.
Mindful of the steady growth of
Carteret County, its owners had,
for some time, discussed the build
ing of a new structure. As can be
seen, the entire building was de
signed to meet the highest stand
ards of beauty, comfort and con
venience.
The overall construction of the
building is of brick ?nd masonry
covering some 6,000 square feet
of space on three lots. The autumn
blend roof of the building was es
pecially made by Fry Roofing Com
pany of Morehead City to match
the color of the bricks.
Landscaping on the property was
done by B. F. Copeland, Beaufort,
who did the planning, and Malcom
Willis, who planted the various
and attractive shrubs.
Windows in the chapel are of a
special-made amber glass for
finer filtering of light, adding a
softer look to the interior.
Yet to h? built is the paved park
ing lot in the rear of the building
and a driveway that will complete
ly circle the building.
The foyer is entered by passing
through the impressive doors of
solid white oak. The walls of the
foyer are of masonry and beauti
fully finished in tones of grey
wood. A portrait of William H.
Bell, founder of the firm, hangs
on one of the walls. The foyer
floor is of vinyl tile.
The modern motif is carried out
with furniture of Danish modern
design, the colors blending with the
