I'm halfway through watching this video. It's pretty interesting. So far funeral homes are closing despite more people dying because people are less religious, poorer, and so there's less pressure to have a big open casket funeral.
I doubt the video will mention it, but I also think it's also the increasing emotional divide between boomer parents and their kids. For instance I'll probably miss my grandfather's funeral because I don't have the cash to fly out to Arizona on short notice.
