What is Death Care Merchandise Services?
Death care is the planning, delivery, and enhancement of post-death services, products, policies, and governance. Companies and organisations that provide death-related services such as funerals, cremation or burial, and memorials are included in the death care merchandise services. This includes, for example, funeral homes, coffins, crematoria, cemeteries, and headstones. The death care industry is primarily made up of small businesses, though there has been significant consolidation over time. The death care services are contentious due to the exorbitant costs of services, as well as the negative impact of traditional funeral practises. Death care companies' practises are frequently backed up by onerous state regulations that raise prices and worsen environmental effects.
