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.

Sad to see this go. All drywall been removed - down to studs. Wish they could just start over now but I guess was never feasible?

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.
