Can't say I've ever seen a restaurant space become a funeral home.
But considering how taking a left turn out of there is a near-death experience maybe this will work.

Considering the number of restaurants which have died off in that building, it is appropriate.

What other restaurants were there?

they had a seafood place before the taco place and I want to say it started as a McAllisters Deli

Discounts on the patio viewing?
I'd name it Cremation Station

Not sure how McAlisters failed there. Place was always crowded for lunch.
Maybe the dinner business killed them?

The McAllisters franchisee for Louisiana lost the rights, so the problem may not have been that location.
The other restaurants though? I’m sure having to cross fricking Perkins near Essen made people say “Do we REALLY want to eat here?”.

The seafood place was horrible. Think it was called The Shrimp Basket. Decided to try it out one Saturday afternoon a few years ago. Took my son to an LSU football scrimmage the weekend before the Spring Game. The place had maybe 6 other people.
The manage came to spoke to us a lot during the meal. Could feel the desperation in his talk. Someone was filling out an application at the bar and I wanted to tell the person to not bother.
The food was horrible. Way too much salt but no other seasoning and tasted mostly like frozen seafood. Never went back.
I think it closed a few months later.

Wasn’t La Carreta in BR a funeral home?
From what I know from someone in the business, it’s actually easy to put a restaurant in a funeral home given the gas lines are already there for cremation.
Guess it goes the other way as well…

Well the funeral home on St. Charles in New Orleans became a Fresh Market.

That restaurant saved me money because I had my kid and they didn't have a high chair so I had to go home and eat.

How do all the other businesses do? Olive or Twist/SoLou/Painting and Pinot
Seems like those have made it

Rum House and most of the places on that side of the road such as Calendar’s haven’t.

Wasn't there a funeral home on I-10 in New Orleans East that was a Long John Silver's?

How long was RPT open? Doesn’t feel like it was long.
There’s another place where restaurants keep opening and subsequently closing not too far down Perkins as well.
