If one looks at actual ownership, one will quickly realize that in our state your numbers are not that far off. However, numerous facilities are needed due to the great amount of miles that would be traveled by the consumer if facilities of the same ownership reduced the properties to conform with the concept of one business – one building. The truth of the matter is that most funeral homes cannot exist without nursing homes and hospitals in their communities and I propose that in a rural area that this is a greater criteria than that of number of deaths. Just like many rural area hospitals should probably not exist but do and are supported at a loss to the taxpayer for the convenience of being local, one should realize that a funeral home is a complimentary addition to these hospitals but must charge enough to exist since the taxpayer does not need to support a private business through their taxes.
