💩 Why it's ugly

You are on call, in a suit, lifting respectfully, and nobody is thrilled to see the van. The work is quiet, heavy, and timed around the worst phone call of someone's life.

💰 Why it prints money

Funeral homes need reliable first-call removal coverage without keeping extra staff awake all night. Pricing is usually per removal, with premiums for distance, stairs, bariatric cases, and after-hours work. Once trusted, you become operational plumbing.

🗺️ The launch playbook 🔒

First 30 days

Register the entity and get the basic insurance sorted before anything else. Call the three biggest local operators and ask what they refuse to do — that refusal list is your launch menu. Price the first ten jobs deliberately low to collect reviews, then raise rates fifteen percent.

Days 31–60

Buy the used equipment, not the new one. The route density is what makes this profitable, so cluster your first customers within a twenty minute radius and decline anything outside it.

This is the part that makes money.
