Some Related-ish Q's

Hi, sorry if this is not allowed, but I am writing a story inspired by Jeeves and Bertie and I'm having trouble finding some information I could really use, and I thought maybe people here might know or know in which direction to point me. I was wondering about laundry-presumably that was part of Jeeves' job or did he send it out anywhere to be cleaned? Also, what were funeral practices like in 1930s Britain? Thanks so much!

I'm pretty sure Jeeves would have sent the laundry out to be done. Far as I can tell laundry was cheap and a small flat would not support washing space.

Funeral practices probably still tended toward the traditional laying out in the house of the family, but I'm not really sure. (I do know that our modern practices of morticians is fairly new. Oddly my Eor and I were just discussing that a short while ago this evening - the fact that there's a new push back to tradition.)
