Allegheny County, which surrounds Pittsburgh, just south of Butler and Butler County, has the oldest population in the US outside of Dade County, FL. and I'm pretty sure Butler shares a similar demographic. As your aunt's generation passes on these funerals are becoming a growth industry in the region.
