Here they use to place announcements for funerals around the neighborhood of the deceased. There are too many such announcements lately, and often they post new announcements over the old ones at an alarming pace that wasn't the norm before. The ages mentioned are often surprising as well, people in their 50s or 60s that you wouldn't imagine you would see their names there.
I'm sorry to hear that. I've not noticed an increase in death/funerals in my area even though I know the aggregate numbers are dreadful. I often wonder why the misalignment and then count myself lucky, I guess.
I should add that many cemetaries don't accept funerals anymore because there isn't any space left. Many relatives choose the incineration option because they can't find a grave.
