> next slide "New Sales Opportunities AFTERCARE and the AFTERCARE Planner"--
> marketed by Service Corp Internation (SCI) to help families with the

> turns out that SCI, the largest US funeral conglomorate facing huge debt
> from purchasing funeral homes all over the country has developed this new
> strategy to make money for the funeral industry.

> Personally, I don't see any reason for the Funeral Industry to get
