How do I find and search funeral home records and burrial records?
I can’t find where to search for funeral home records in Family Search? I Googled Funeral homes, saw a link to Family Search, logged in again and saw U. S. Funeral Homes, but I can’s get any further? From a Find a Grave citations, the burial location of my 2nd Great-grandmother was derived from “Harouff Funeral Home records”, a late 1890’s, Missouri based funeral home, but I don’t have any idea where these records are located to search them. Neither; this 2nd Great-grandmother or my Great-grandmother at a different cemetery have grave markers and so far, the only thing I have are cemetery names. Also; Unfortunately, no cemetery maps for either cemetery. As most of you know, finding obituaries and graves for women is extremely difficult, but I’ve been lucky enough to fine some farther back in time to these ladies, so I’m hopeful. If anyone has directions or resources that you can point me to, I would greatly appreciate any and all help. Thank you in advance!!

It depends on when and where you are searching. You can try, as a first step, using the Collection search and putting the word Funeral in the search box. There's a rather long list:
Another way to search - using the keyword field in the catalog
In Images, you can narrow your search to Missouri and then use Funeral as your keyword:
