Correct me if I'm wrong but there would be remediation work done at that site due to the fact it's a funeral home, right?
 
^ Potentially due to the use of embalming fluid that contained formaldehyde (rigorous testing would determine if that is the case) -- also the building is of an age where there would almost certainly be asbestos remediation required.

If there was significant formaldehyde discharge over the years, potentially. Environmental Site Assessment will determine what level of remediation is required though. Could be on the easier side, could also be soil contamination.
 
Formaldehyde in soil quickly breaks down and is not generally a concern except for constant and excessive discharge from a polluting source. It is highly unlikely that the mortuary would have had polluting levels of embalming fluid discharging into site soil -- it can be quickly tested leading to a reasonable outcome in terms of remediation.

Anyone know why it got demolished?

There was some discussion upthread about it a couple times. You can use "rectory" as a search term. @policyenthusiast wrote:
I know someone who lived in the place, and it is apparently an absolute nightmare of liability and sunken money. I can only imagine how stressful it is for the rest of the owners.
