The Calcaterra Funeral Home at 7 Mile and Kelly Road was a supermarket [[I never knew the name) prior to it's reconstruction into an 8 chapel funeral home. It was to replace the Calcaterra Funeral Home at Outer Drive and Gratiot which was sold to The House of Diggs. Roma Cafe was a family favorite and the tiny bar featured many black and white photos of Frank J. and Louis C. Calcaterra from the era of the Italian Ghetto. Frank J. operated the Funeral Home in St. Louis and Louis C. the one in Detroit. I do not recall there ever being a funeral home prior to the Outer Drive one.
