After 30 years in the business, he’s seen some changes and he’s tried to be one who keeps up with the times and needs of families. Next month he’ll have cameras installed in the chapel, so services can be viewed online for family out-of-state.

The latest is drive through embalming. Burial at your convenience.

Anyone with the franchise for a drive-thru birthing service wins. Don't ask for it super-sized...that's gonna hurt.

How about a drive up wake. You can have one for the road cause your buddy’s already laid out.

I think eventually we’ll do away with funeral home funerals. I’ve already told my children...just a mass.

Reminds me of a scene in fellini SATYRICON in which a deceased man offers his fortune to his friends, but only if they eat his dead body. The movie closes with them chowing down.

Where Lenin lies, the red flag flies
And the rat-grey workers wait
To tread the gloom of Lenin's tomb
Where the Comrade lies in state...

Robert Service. I love that poem.

They’re dead on with that idea. Otherwise, who’s got the time?

It's called PAYING YOUR RESPECTS.

How much respect are you showing if you cannot even haul your fat celluitic ass out of the driver's seat???!?
