Got me thinking, imagine you die and people send grieving emails to your family via your Gmail account. Does Google serve ads for funeral homes and related products?

I'm afraid the answer would probably be yes and it makes me sick to think of Google profiting from your passing (the funeral homes, not so much)

I remember a lot of people raised this particular point when gmail was first launch and Google responded this is the type of thing they check for to make sure they do not serve any ads. No idea how effective their checks our, but you'd think someone would have made a big stink about if they did.
