I’m not going to lie. I’ve been a fan of the funeral home industry for a while now, but I didn’t expect to be so involved with the business. The three funerals I’ve attended this year are the first time I’ve ever been there to plan and pay for a funeral. You may not know this, but the funeral industry is one of the most lucrative industries in the world.
Well, that may be true, but it also means that funeral homes are one of the most vulnerable to a takeover. So in a small way, theyre a victim of the downturn of the industry. It may seem like every time I write a funeral industry story, the business goes down. It does, but it’s not because of a one-off sale or even a sudden downturn.
Ive been to six in the last year and a half. My latest was a funeral home in a small town somewhere in Pennsylvania. The funeral home was a lot smaller than the one Ive been to before, but the staff was very friendly and the funeral home was beautiful. Ive only been back to the funeral home twice, but I have plans to go back there again. So far Ive only been to the one funeral home that had a funeral for someone who died of cancer.
The funeral home staff told me the reason the funeral home is so small was that they are trying to save money by keeping the funeral home in a small town. They also said that they had a lot of good funeral homes in the town, but that they had to keep this one.
I think it’s important to mention that this funeral home is actually a funeral home, not a funeral home. I mean, we were given the impression that it was a funeral home, but it was only after we had been there more than a few times that we realized that was not the case. I did find the coffin to be beautiful, but I could have done without the two coffin-cloths and the urn that was sitting on the side.
My husband and I were told that this funeral home was an “old-fashioned” funeral home. While we didn’t actually see anything that would suggest such an idea, we were told that the two-foot-long coffin in the front of the funeral home was supposed to be a memorial for the family, but it’s just a fake grave.
The funeral home’s obituary says that the casket has been made of solid white porcelain with a gold handle to match. It even says that the casket is a memorial to the deceased, but at the same time, its not. It says it is a “precinct funeral home”, meaning it is not a strictly funeral home.
The idea that these obituaries are nothing more than a fake grave is a really bad one. The fact that we have to go to a funeral home to pay homage to the deceased is a gross misuse of resources. There are plenty of funeral homes in the world that don’t have obituaries, and those that do, are generally not full of fake graves.
And even with the fake graves, the real graves are still there, and they’re still fake graves. And that’s the problem with fake graves: you can’t see them. If we are going to pay tribute to the dead, it is best to do so in a way that is not overtly confrontational. The way to honor our dead is not to make them miserable. And that is why fake graves are so bad.
Yes, even fake graves arent the best way to honor the dead. And even those that arent so fake, are still full of fake graves. It’s just that fake graves are like the real ones, they are harder to miss.
