On December 31, 1991, Mr. Pulliam owed Homes $219,337. The
loans made to him had no stated interest rate and were payable on
demand. They were used primarily to finance petitioners' new
residence. They began building their new residence after
completing the building and remodeling of Homes' funeral
facilities.
The Oblong funeral home of Homes was originally built as a
residence in 1920 and was converted to a funeral parlor in 1939.
The last major renovation of the Oblong facility occurred in
1986.
The Oblong funeral home was given excellent appearance and
maintenance ratings in the appraisal made by Vandelyn R. Pine,
dated January 9, 1992.
The total number of funeral services conducted during the
years 1986 through 1991 at the Oblong facility was as follows:
1986 1987 1988 1989 1990 1991
53 75 54 51 44 56
The number of funeral services conducted at the Oblong facility
averaged between 60 and 70 funerals per year during the years
1992 and 1993.
Earl L. Deckard (Mr. Deckard), a licensed funeral director
and embalmer in Illinois, was employed by Homes or Chapel from
November 1980, until mid-1994. He worked at the Robinson
facility through 1985, and then worked at the Oblong facility for
the remainder of his employment.
