"Furniture, Undertaking", does this mean they simply made wood coffins -or did they do the embalming as well?
The name in the window is a bit hard to read, but I think it says Ryan & Co.

On the side of the building, it says "Furniture and Carpets" on the far side of the sign, and "Undertaking and Embalming" on the near side. I can see the connection between furniture and undertaking, but it seems like an odd combination of goods and services nonetheless. I would have found it rather disconcerting to shop for a chifferobe or étagère while someone's recently-departed loved one was possibly being embalmed in the back room.
