I don't think I could ever sleep well at night, knowing that I built a business based upon on the death of others. In other words, I'll never work as a coffin maker or at a funeral home.

No offense or judgement towards the 1000Memories people, I think it's a good goal. That's just my own choice.

Could you build a business on helping to assuage others' grief?

[sliverstorm]

Thinking about it a bit further, if I was not involved in the funeral proceedings that might help stem the self-loathing, so maybe.

I think essentially I'm just really against the high costs of death proceedings. It should cost less money, not more, and the more services that get tacked on the higher the cost gets.

Exactly. Almost a year ago I was considering the same idea. I talked to many people, some of them thought the idea was good. But then I talked to a friend of mine (she was all supportive, btw) and mentioned that I didn't feel right about the project. I said I felt like maybe we should do something for life, not death. She agreed and said she's glad I said this. So from this moment on I decided I'm not using this idea, knowing, of course, someone else would do it for me.

So, if you don't mind sharing, what is your "life" idea?

[snitko]

oh, nothing particular at the moment. Besides, I think it's okay to ditch something you don't truly like even if you have nothing else.
