Resting place: Demographic trends benefit funeral homes, but cremations will hamper growth

Funeral Homes in the US

Resting place: Falling per capita income during the recession and a rising number of inexpensive cremations have hampered industry revenue since 2007. Additionally, money-strapped families turned to discount retailers and manufacturers to purchase caskets, further depressing revenue for funeral home operators. Nevertheless, the industry's revenue is projected to improve slightly through 2017. An increasing percentage of the population will enter into the upper age bracket, and the number of deaths in the United States is anticipated to increase.
