An Industry taking care in difficult times of family lives. Working in the industry is difficult and deserves a degree of respect.
However, a lot of funeral homes are owned by large business corporations. These businesses aim to efficiently make money.
Functions and factors that help generate revenue include:
- A lack of information on how much funerals should cost, and what rights you have as a consumer.
- Selling preneed. This may be focused towards being sold to the elderly. Preneed may contain fine text designed to obligate ones family to pay specifically for the agreed upon services with possible limited flexibility, thus secure future revenue for the home.
- Casket rooms can be designed in such a way as to force families to view expensive, "good looking" or "fitting" caskets as opposed to more affordable, but less impressive ones, often in less desirable colors as to influence more desirable casket choices.
- Bundling services that make consumers feel like they are saving more by buying more.
- Subtle gestures such as saying (deceased's name) deserves more (perhaps a grander service or better casket or burial).
- Also note the significant psychological state of the consumer, who may be dealing with unbearabke grief.
See the 1978 FTC report on funeral homes, the research done by the funeral consumers alliance, and other resources and articles done on your local death industry. Of course, not every home is coporate or "greedy".

Get the Industry Kid mug.(a very offensive term I found on Craigslist): for a Western country to be letting in immigrants from Third World countries and at the same time outsourcing the low skilled jobs that these immigrants are capable of doing.
before embarking on an Immigration Industry policy, Western governments should, IMHO, first learn what ethnocultural neo-anthropology is all about ethno

“Did you see how drunk Ava got last night? She chewed out the bartender when he refused to give her any more.”
“Yeah, she’s a real industry bitch. It’s really sad to see. She was so excited to move out to LA and now she’s like this all the time.”

Get the Music Industry mug.Synonymous with the yellowpages, industry pages is a retro futuristic description of the industrial age vs the information age via phonebooks.
When will these industry pages stop arriving at my doorstep?! Maybe I should frame one before the internet takes over.
