quote [ The business of death is one as old as time. Today the market size of global death care services is valued at over $100 billion annually and it's expected to double in the next decade too (an increase attributed to more demand for lavish funerals). ]
Also of mention would be the cost of professional mourners

An interesting side note for funeral processions in Taiwan, some of them have pole dancers (and maybe strippers?) They have these jeep wranglers with a dancing pole mounted on a platform in the back to use as a mobile performance stage. They also seem to come out for temple celebrations.
refs, for research purposes, um, yeah: bbc article from 2018 quartz article from 2017 w/ video metro article about a documentary about them. 2017 aforementioned documentary: Dancing for the Dead: Funeral Strippers in Taiwan. |
