Ice cream shop opens in former Chicopee funeral home

CHICOPEE, Mass. — It's a taste to die for -- according to the new owners. A former funeral home in Chicopee will now be home to a premium ice cream shop

Petros Mirisis, the owner of a diner in the town said it just made sense to him.

“I think I can do it turn the funeral home into an ice cream shop people will like it,” he said.

Mirisis says the old funeral home gave them the inspiration for their new shop catch phrase...

"It is a joke, it's funny it's also like when you eat something you like you say ‘it's to die for’ it'll be premium ice cream, it will be a taste to die for,” he said.
