OK, I may be way off from a business sense here but this is just cold and simply wrong. I understand that they run a business but this is not a car or a house we are talking about. Someone’s dead here. Is there no respect in the world anymore?
I’m thinking there has got to be a better way. And even still, if they have no success with acquiring payment, sometimes a business has to just eat their loss to make a good statement.
Can you imagine the negative word-of-mouth marketing this business will get? Where do we draw the line? Casket repossession? What if your plot goes unpaid for once you’re dead? Amazing what greed does to people!
