Death don't come cheap In cases of sudden death such as homicide, car wrecks and suicide, or when an unidentified corpse has been found, funeral firms rely on tip-offs from contacts among the police. Some even listen in on emergency service calls, and often get to the scene ahead of the police themselves, staking their claim as the first to "drape a shroud" over the body.
至於意外死亡的，包括他殺刑案、車禍意外、自殺、無名屍等，業者透過與某些警察的友好關係，甚至接聽一一九專線，經常比警察更先一步在意外現場「蓋白布」，搶地盤。
