Nice post. I share the others views. Based on your numbers I would consider it quite possible that the assets you referred to are not worth 67% of the carrying value (2242/3331).

I think the comments about there being few economies of scale in the funeral home industry are on the money. In fact I would say that there might be negative economies of scale. If your local mom-and-pop funeral home gave a nice, personal, sympathetic touch to your grandmother's funeral, you are more likely to go there for your mother
than if it is run by someone to whom it is just a job and not their own business.

In my opinion, rolling up the monument business made a bit more sense.
What was the name of that company, which we have mentioned on this thread?
