Less people die these days? Seems that would be a steady business.

they call it the Stine & McClure Chapel

with its nice look the list of what can go in is way longer than the things that wouldn't go there.

it could be everything from a law office to the business office of any small regional business.

I think fewer people are having traditional funerals/burials due to the cost. I see more people just having private memorial services at a church, home or center.

Several factors but one primary reason. Mergers and acquisitions. The death business has consolidated into a few major players.

Someone up to doing an organic, hipster, locally planted, indie funeral parlor in the east bottoms?

We should convert the Power Plant in the River Market into a combination steam heat generator, and crematorium.
