I can't imagine there is a big market for this but it does make sense.

I can do it one better... I lived in Pensacola, Florida for a while. They had a "drive-thru" funeral home there!

(I know - it's "Florida")

Nothing wrong with this... once you pass the casket you can pull up to the cashier and pay for your smokes and gallon of milk. (Another efficient example of multi-tasking)

This might sound odd, but I can totally see a market, albeit a small one, for this sort of thing.

I'm always away at work, and I've missed funerals of people I've really loved because I've been weathered in (usually - fog or snow or something equally as awful) or due to mechanical problems (once). It might be morbid, yes, but I'd do something like this so I don't feel so empty for having missed the funeral.

I don't think it's really morbid unless they start installing "casket cams"
