"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

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.
