re: Funeral Homes - Agree that margin pressures are increasing from outside suppliers of coffins and such...but this still strikes me as less competitive business than most. There's family tradition, services are differentiated, and buying a coffin from a different supplier is something a lot of folks just wouldn't think to do IMO. It's like taking spark plugs to garage and asking them to do the installation...some just won't do it, and those that do will often charge more.
