Solid, high-margin business. Diversifying from "memorialization" funeral products into European printing/packaging services. Share price has taken a beating lately.

This will sound callus I know but... with the aging of the population here in the states this is truly a growth industry...

the boomers will be retiring and passing on...

as this occurs the demand for this type of business will increase more than it already has... this is simply a logistical pick..

More people will be dying in the next few years..

a little morbid but... it's the facts...
