Re: 15 customers is hardly a good test

What about families that can't afford what a private industry charges for burying you? Or if you're the last one in your family and you got no money left? Society would have to find a place to put those bodies in the ground, no?

Hmmmm...none of those reasons is sufficient to incur a $190k loss...right?

They could pay a private owner on a per-case basis...

This is a town with a population of just over 7,000...how many people die here each year?

I realize that this is OT but it just struck me as odd when I looked at the budget...

It's a microcosm of the state and federal budgets. Municipalities have pork too!

Probably not. Was more responding to your question about why the local government was getting involved instead of a private company
