Any time a B&B (of any cost range) boasts that they are in a historic building, then I feel it's up to the person considering staying there to find out more about that history if it could be of concern for them. But really, once a building or house hits a certain age, it becomes more likely than not that someone not only died there at some point, but was also laid our for a wake/viewing there as well, even if it's always been a private residence. Simply because people used to hold viewings in their own homes. Now while I certainly understand that a funeral home is way more than just an old building where there may have been a few viewings over the years, I still think it's not something a business must disclose. With today's wealth of info at our fingertips, if you see "historic", you can most likely also find that history, and with little time or effort.
I personally look at it as a building which once cared for deceased guests now getting an opportunity to host living ones instead. It's almost poetic.
