Oh the Unmitigated Gall.
Gall-
1. impudence; effrontery.
2. bile, esp. that of an animal.
3. something bitter or severe.
4. bitterness of spirit; rancor.
—Synonyms 1. nerve, audacity, brass, cheek.
Where's the respect for the deceased?
Whenever you are selling something having to do with death, it takes a bit of effort and skill to come off inoffensive. Our local funeral home didn't try real hard. And they were properly dressed down.
But. If you drive to my house to offer me a "cemetery memorial" to commemorate my dad, I'm going to have to say FUCK YOU. I will not want a sales pitch built around a recently deceased man, ever. Rebecca Longstreth Renock, what the hell were you thinking?!? Have some common decency. Yours is a predatory approach. You know this. Grow the fuck up.
But for your efforts today I will try and get your name out there.
If you live in Central Ohio:
Do not do business with Longstreth Memorials. They have coin-counters where their hearts ought to be.

That sounds truly awful. Fuck 'em.
Here's something else you can look forward to - telemarketers calling and asking for the deceased. Poor schmucks who won't really believe you but will still feel awkward - and it will go on for months, nay, years.
ew. how to handle people like this? how obnoxious. and rude. obnoxious, rude, and just plain WRONG. ought to be a law...
but then again we know how much knox county is familiar with their own laws and abide by them, ugh. i just gotta say in general, our country is going downhill fast.

Boy, just when you think you've seen and heard it all . .
I think there's definitely a down-side to capitalism, despite its many glories. Your experience was obviously one of them.
