   After my grandfather retired he worked as a grave digger.  He witnessed   
   the local family mortuaries being purchased by nation-wide chains, and   
   he said there were only one or two of those chains that owned practically   
   all of the mortuaries in this state.  After they gained control they   
   successfully influenced the state to pass a law requiring embalming   
   within a ridiculously short period of time after death, supposedly for   
   public health reasons but not backed by any real evidence.  He said it   
   was purely to put extra pressure on grieving people to make them even   
   easier to profit from.  He said that the mortuaries sold expensive and   
   fancy looking coffins that appeared to be made out of finished hard wood   
   but were actually cardboard.  After hearing a lot of that, i became firmly   
   in the cremation "camp" too.  The money lenders outside this "temple" can   
   go whip themselves.
