Funeral directors are a business, this is a public facility (generally)
on a cemetery. A mortuary is for storing corpses, that's often
associated to this kind of ceremonial place, but not necessarily.

There is already an existing tag with similar meaning for funeral
homes / funeral halls / funeral directors: shop=funeral_directors.
The use of the key "shop=" is odd, but it's been used over 20,000
times so it seems to be well established:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:shop%3Dfuneral_directors [4] -
documented since 2009:
"Also known as a "funeral parlour","undertaker", "funeral home", or
"memorial home".
A funeral directors [5] shop is a place where arrangements to
permanently store the physical body after death are made. An event
(sometimes with the deceased's body present) to honor the deceased for
mourners are held here in conjunction with religious services which
are held elsewhere."
There is also a related tag amenity=mortuary -
