Another example of the changing fates of "neighborhood-serving" retail

Neighborhood-based funeral parlors. Sometimes this is ethnically-based, and as neighborhoods change, either the funeral parlor reaches out to new groups, or it closes, or moves. See "The Demography of Death" from the New York Times.

It's another example of how the scale of retail is changing and it's hard to provide independently owned "convenience" retail as well as other types of retail as "retail trade areas" now far outspan the boundaries of neighborhoods or cities.
