I came upon this today and had to share it with my Fastlane friends. Please don't laugh....... this is deadly serious.
A man in Queensland Australia saw a need that maybe many people could relate to, but it seems that nobody has ever made a business out of it.
The need was for honest talking at funerals. Here's how he does it:

The need was for honest talking at funerals. Here's how he does it:
- He visits people who are on their deathbeds in hospital. I don't know how he gets to know who is dying, but maybe he has good contacts in hospitals.
- He interviews them, asking if there is anything they want said at the funeral other than the trite eulogies or wishes engineered by family members. In other words: What are your real last wishes?
- For legal self protection he records the interviews.
- He charges the dying person $10,000 to fulfill their wish to have those real wishes spoken.
- When the funeral is under way he steps up to the microphone being used by the minister or MC, and tells them he is there at the request of the deceased who has asked him to read out his/her real last wishes.
- Sometimes he tells all those standing behind the microphone to go and join the rest of the mourners.
- Then he reads out his list, much to the chagrin of the vested interests who have said or would say otherwise.
