Episode 116
When visiting a few cemeteries recently, Joe was struck by how clean and well-maintained but desolately empty they were. That prompted him to ask Mark about the economic viability of cemeteries and whether they were becoming relics of a bygone age as increasing numbers of people opted for cremation. Mark and Joe discuss the history of cemeteries and prospects for the mortuary industry. Turns out it isn’t just whistling past the graveyard to think that our repositories for death can be repurposed to serve modern life. (Recorded August 1, 2025.)
