Using credible data (perhaps the Economic Census of 1982), please find:

(1) receipts (sales) by state for funeral homes in 1992 AND
(2)If possible, please find funeral homes receipts for merchandise
sold separate from all other funeral home receipts.

Here is a link to the exact data of interest for the 1997 Economic Census:

(Sorry the link is so long, but if you cut it and paste it into your
browser, it will work.  If you are looking at this chart, the revenue
categories appropriate to my question would be 0000 (overall receipts)
and 6453 (merchandise)).

THANKS.

Your question mentions both 1982 and 1992.  I assume one of these
years is a typo.  Can you please clarify year you're after.
