Don't count on it! I have a friend who's an undertaker and he says the
funeral business is NOT recession proof. A lot of people are cutting back
and having only a graveside service or a cremation and NO service. Around
here I see in lots of obits where there is no service but a "memorial
gathering" either at the home of the deceased or of a relative, or at a
local service club hall. And that's it, no service of any kind. Ruth

So, somebody's making money - who makes these signs? I'll bet funeral folks
are still doing ok, too.
