[Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC -Funeral hall

[wolle68 at posteo.de]

If there is a crematorium, I agree that it should take precedence, and I 
can't imagine a crematorium without such a room. However, more often 
than not, there is no crematorium while there is such a funeral hall 
(quite often actually colloquially called a "chapel", but "chapel" falls 
under the category "place of worship").
