Abstract:
The funeral industry in the United States is big business, generating more than $11 billion annually and employing over 100,000 people. Since 1999, the industry has given more than $6 million to political parties and state-level candidates in 46 states, positioning themselves to have a hand in shaping legislation and regulation.
