💩 Why it's ugly

It is live video in the one room where buffering feels morally offensive. You must be invisible, calm, overdressed, and ready for bad Wi-Fi in buildings made of stone and denial.

💰 Why it prints money

Funeral homes need reliable vendors but rarely want to become video production companies. Families pay for certainty, recordings, private links, and fast turnaround, especially when guests are elderly or out of state.

🗺️ 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.
