Among Jack Harvey's interests was a funeral business in Whitechapel. It was a sizeable establishment and did well, for, as he liked to joke, the dead were always with us.

1) It is confounding to understand the meaning of "establishment" used here? Is it a firm?
2) What does "did well" mean here? Does it mean it is a thriving establishment?
3) I do not understand how "for" is used here?
Thank you.
