In my last startup, my primary product was a CRM of sorts for the US funeral industry. Coming from Hindu country, I was kinda puzzled on why does one need CRM and accounting systems in deathcare over a period of 30 years - think of one "lead" changing states for 30 years. That is until I realized that the primary business of deathcare in the US revolves around real estate. People want to be buried under a tree on top of the hill with the gentle sea breeze.. And not near a place where a dig can take a dump. Very surprising.. And IMHO wasteful for someone like me, who admittedly belongs to another belief. Also, since a lot if people have written about this, the Parsis (a community in India who trace their descent from Iran) feed their dead to vultures. Sadly, Mumbai don't have too many vultures... So now, they are mandated by law to cremate them.
