I remember going to the Church.

I think I understand the varying degrees of perceived morbidity associated with repurposing a mortuary into a restaurant. Long standing cultural & religious taboos... secular cycling... I also see the probability of a better ROI based on location & clientele.

Plus I see humor, intended or not in Irving's last sentence.

I have no personal association with the location, but imagine I might be of similar mind as the OP if I did & pass on a dining experience there.
