I went there about a year ago. This is a gravestone in the churchyard. Just saying...

Psalm 89:48
The gist being that "all men must die, even God's own son". For it is a necessary step on the path to enter heaven, and implies the "you can't take it with you" thing about wealth and property. It also implies mercy, for whatever pain you suffer in life, the pain will end one day (such mercy!). Death, the great leveller, making all the same status.
But yeah... amusing in light of the paper and zombies.
*Service Corporation International namely, and other companies that buy up local funeral homes to basically price fix the area.
Pretty low quality comment. Perhaps you misread. There are funeral homes that provide a service. Then there is SCI, which buys up the local homes and just increases prices. And they get away with it because they take advantage of people when they are mourning, aka emotional, and state regulations on the death industry vary widely.
The whole industry needs some heavy federal baseline regulations, IMO.
> SCI charges $6,256 on average (excluding casket and cemetery plot), 42 percent more than independents. [1]
And then there's numerous cases of SCI just overselling plots, skipping embalming regulations, etc.
