"Brand Name" Funeral Home?

Just wondering what your thoughts about why there are no "brand name" or "corporate" funeral homes? They seem to all be own/operated by local business people (mom and pop stores).

Update:

According to the National Funeral Director's Association, of the 21,528 funeral homes in America, 89 percent are privately owned.

Update 3:

Stewart Enterprises

  • Visit Ma and Pa's home for the trip home..

  • The following funeral homes are chains:

    1) Dead Good Funeral Directors

    2) 2nd Hand Pace Makers @ Half Price Funeral Homes

    3) Down and Out

  • I suggest you go google your question. In some cities that appear to have 50 funeral homes, 90% of the funerals are handled by 4 chains. The lack of competition is why funerals have doubled in price in recent years.
