I keep scanning my local obituaries for some massive uptick in uncharacteristic death rates. It doesn’t seem to be that way, just the usual 70, 80 and 90 year olds with the occasional younger person scattered in, dying from cancer or accident or other.
I’ve posted two articles about funeral home directors saying that ‘business’ was flat through 2020 and ‘took off’ starting in 2021. Also a pastor’s wife saying the same pattern for funerals hold true.
