It was owned and operated by a man named Mister Jones and was located in an unidentified rural region in the state of Florida. Mister Jones made an arrangement with a masked serial killer known as ChromeSkull and allowed the psychopath to use the funeral home, as well as the adjacent work shop as his base of operations.

 * Moorelands General Store: Moorelands General Store is a fictional location featured in the 2009 slasher film Laid to Rest. It was a family-owned convenience store located in an unidentified rural region in the state of Florida. The owner's son worked as a night shift store clerk. In 2007, two youths on their way to a party in Atlanta, Georgia came to the score looking to purchase beer and snacks. The store clerk refused to sell them any alcohol, citing that it was illegal to sell beer on Sunday. Before the two youths had time to start and argument with the man, a frightened young woman named Amy came into the store. The clerk recognized that she was being stalked by a serial killer named ChromeSkull and went outside to confront him. ChromeSkull killed the clerk with his own shotgun, then broke into the store through a back entrance where he killed one of the customers, Anthony. Amy's friends, Tucker Smith and Steven arrived at the store to help her out, but ChromeSkull ultimately killed both of them as well. Amy, and the second partier, Tommy, managed to escape with their lives. In the early dawn, police cruisers pulled up to the store to clean up in the aftermath of the massacre.
