Has someone disrupted the burial business?


It's time for me to buy a burial plot or 7 (me, the spouse, other family members). Here's what I wanted to do: go online and get the price of plots near me. Here's what I had to do instead: Fill out forms and sit through a screening phone call for the pleasure of making an appointment with a sales person and getting a link to a video on "the benefits of preplanning".

Please tell me YC has funded someone to make this process more automated and less icky. They'll get my business, that's for sure.
