In A Christmas Carol, who are the people in Joe's scavenger shop, and what are the people doing?

In Stave 4, the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come takes Ebenezer to several different scenes.  We learn toward the end of this stave that Ebenezer is dead at this point, and that the scenes we are witnessing represent different reactions to Scrooge's death.

One scene we visit takes place at Joe's scavenger shop.  There, some of Scrooge's servants, along with the undertaker's assistant, pawn some of the items from Scrooge's house: his clothing, bedding, silver, etc.  As Scrooge was not close with anyone, there would have been no one to leave these items to upon his death; thus, they were free for the taking.  It becomes evident that these people are not grieving the loss of Scrooge, but are, instead, looking at how they can profit from his death.
