two buildings side by side on the high street...(this bit is true)
h ingram and sons - builders
h ingram and sons - funeral directors.
you'd want to be sure you went to the right door, wouldn't you?
choose the wrong one, and you might find yourself buried on the top floor of
a new block of maisonettes.
alternatively, you might find people in black suits turning up and gnashing their teeth in your new kitchen,
it does make sense to diversify in that way, though.
we've all got a living (?) to make.
now i'm starting to understand why there's always plenty of space in the local graveyards.
they're all being buried under porch extensions.

It's common enough, builders and undertakers being one and the same. Probably dates back to the pyramids....
