In my last startup, my primary product was a CRM of sorts for the US funeral industry. Coming from  Hindu country, I was kinda puzzled on why does one need CRM and accounting systems in deathcare over a period of 30 years - think of one &quot;lead&quot; changing states for 30 years.<p>That is until I realized that the primary business of deathcare in the US revolves around real estate. People want to be buried under a tree on top of the hill with the gentle sea breeze.. And not near a place where a dig can take a dump.<p>Very surprising.. And IMHO wasteful for someone like me, who admittedly belongs to another belief.<p>Also, since a lot if people have written about this, the Parsis (a community in India who trace their descent from Iran) feed their dead to vultures. Sadly, Mumbai don&#x27;t have too many vultures... So now, they are mandated by law to cremate them.
