Norwegian term or phrase: gravferdsbyrå
In a glossary:

"BYRÅ
Kortform for begravelsesbyrå eller gravferdsbyrå"

As you can see, I need to distinguish the two.

This example is the sort of thing that is currently driving me nuts: "Hallingdal gravferdsbyrå vart etablert i 1995. Frå 2014 er byrået ein del av Jølstad og er begravelsesbyrået for heile Hallingdal."

gravferdsbyrå (NN)
Funeral Bureau (Parlo/u/r)


Explanation:
...heile = Nynorsk / New Norwegian.

begravelsesbyrå : Cemetery Bureau - works e.g. in CA, USA rather than in the UK where Funeral Parlour is understandable but not Cemetery Parlour (cf. Crematorium or 'Crematory'). Note also as an organization in New York: The Bureau of Funeral Directing.

gravferd: burial; internment vs. begravelse: burial, both Einar Haugen.

Example sentence(s):
  • Hallingdal Funeral Bureau - Steinar Aa
  • Cemetery and Funeral Bureau Homepage is designed to help Californians become informed consumers by learning their rights and protection.
