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".

Ed: Oh no, all my flower died. How am I going to remember them?
Pam: Why not have a Flower Funeral for them? We could crush them up and bury them.
Jeff: Sure! Lets go to Camp Swampy. I bet Stainy Stainglass would officiate.
Ed: Sure, a Flower Funeral would be nice because I love my garden! Sweet.
Stainy: Yes, I'll help! (he starts praying over the flowers) Dearly beloved, we are gathered here in memory of these beautiful flowers. May they always live in Heaven in beauty. (he makes the cross sign)
Ed: (bursts out crying) Poor flowers. I don't know what to do.
Stainy: Easy, I know you're stressed. But I got the Mary Mud right here. (he starts massaging Ed with the Mary Mud) Remember how good that felt? Its a nice way to end a Flower Funeral.
Jeff: (jumping up and down crying) I need some of that, too. Can I have some?
Stainy: Sure! This is the most important part of a Flower Funeral. You need flowers to stop stressing over flowers. Remember, flowers have power!
Pam: Sure. Its easy. Just remember its a trial but Flower Funerals make you smile! (she kisses Stainy and he rubs her with the Mary Mud)
