He was already an undertaker, and while on vacation in Spain an Englishman dropped dead in his hotel. He took a professional interest in all of the arrangements that had to be made to get the dead man from Spain to Great Britan. He also found out that, due to coincidence, physical activity they were not used to, and trying to drive rented cars over mountain roads after too much Rioja, a modest number of the millions of Brits who visited Spain every year, died.
When he got back home, he read up on the rules and regulations, and began acting as an agent to repatriate dead Brits. Rather than handle the burial, he just did the paper work and handled the arrangements to get the deceased from the morgue in Spain, to the local undertaker hired by the family in Britian.
Within a few years he had sold his funeral home, and made a good living just doing the paper work to get the bodies back home.
Hmmmm, I'll past that on to a dear friend who is a mortician. I think she'd like a change...
