Mrs. jimfree was suggesting that they were looking for cold hard cash.

I don’t know this particular Lee Funeral Home, but I’ve seen others that look like they might be banks. Of course once can read the sign and know for sure.

Other articles feature one of the employees stating that they are often (weekly) confused with the next door bank as they look alike.

As a result, banks are going to start playing a constant soundtrack of funeral home music to confuse would-be thieves.

Cut them a break. They’re obviously too stupid to get any kind of work, so they have to rob whatever they can.
