It's even worse than merely profiting off of death - in the vast majority of interactions I've had with funeral homes and mortuaries, the fucking pressure to 'inter your loved one in a way befitting their legacy' - AKA - SPEND A WHOLE BUNCH OF MONEY ON THE DEAD PERSON BECAUSE THEIR CORPSE WILL CARE SOMEHOW is really fucking gross, and they're ghoulishly preying on people in the worst moments of their lives.

I know it's not all funeral homes, but holy fuck. 4 grandparents in the ground, two parents, a half dozen cousins and aunts/uncles - and every single time, there's some shit ghoul trying to max out the fucking silk trim on the corpse box that's gonna be put in the ground for a few centuries.
