Philadelphia MAUSOLEUM of Contemporary Art.?! Misprint?

The Philadelphia Mausoleum of Contemporary Art is indeed real.  The word "mausoleum" is not a misprint.  They call themselves PhilaMOCA and their website is www.philamoca.org.  They are located in the old Finney and Son building, a showroom for mausoleums and tombstones, located at 531 N. 12th Street, Philadelphia PA  19123.  PhilaMOCA is a gallery space complete with a stage and screen.

Finney & Son mausoleums & monuments. 1850.
Philadelphia, PA, USA

This building still stands, barely, on North 12th (?) Street, just north of Spring Garden Street, in Philadelphia, PA..  I wonder what's inside; is there anything remaining of the original business in the basement, etc.?  What happened to the business, the owners, etc.?
