That's an interesting perspective on an industry that we rarely talk about... And the end with the Pharaohs made a brilliant point. We spend nowhere the resources they did to make their tombs, but that was only for a handful of people in the entirety of their history. Still, what a way to go, right?

I think the main reason we don't talk about death and the industry surrounding it is because of fear. Instead of accepting that it's something we're going to have to deal with, we try to avoid the subject as much as possible.
