Re: FUNERAL HOME CLOSED

One poster mentioned that their town had almost no funeral homes now and that got me to thinking.

I remember from childhood to about my teens, we had 6 or 7 funeral homes in my city.  Back then I would guess that the population was about 55,000.

 

Today our population is about 63,000 and we have but 2 funeral homes.  They are both well established and thriving but it makes me wonder why if there are more people then why are there less funeral homes today?

 

Are people being cremated in much larger numbers?

 

BTW...both of our funeral homes are completely air conditioned and can accomodate multiple services at the same time.  Maybe I just realized why we don't need so many!Smiley Surprised

@781Florist  Our bodies are going to a teaching college in the city. They return the ashes to our family after two years. No funeral home involved at all. My parents did the same thing.
