The Death Business Is Booming
Funeral services got a surge with COVID-19 - Now it's excess deaths
More countries are reporting a rise in excess mortality - just how bad is it?
The funeral service is booming. While we may not be able to trust the official numbers put out by our authorities - we look to other sources to verify our information. One example is Service Corporation International.
Service Corporation International or SCI is the largest provider of ‘deathcare’ products and services in North America. Their fourth-quarter results are out and business is booming, so good in fact, it exceeded expectations, again. Generating $826 million for the full year 2022. A 26% increase over 2019 pre-pandemic levels.
People are not dying from COVID-19 anymore
SCI had its best year ever in 2020 and 2021 due to COVID-19. At the end of 2021 SCI CEO Thomas Ryan said he was expecting revenue to drop in 2022. SCI predicted business would go back to normal. Was he assuming the vaccines were working?
Whatever the case is - it didn’t happen.
2022 ended up “significantly exceeding” their expectations. While COVID-19 deaths made some impact on their earnings the big increase came from a “higher number of other excess deaths.” Full quote from their Fourth Quarter 2022 Financial Results and 2023 Guidance:
We are proud to report adjusted earnings per share of $0.92 for the fourth quarter of 2022. These results were below the prior year quarter that was materially impacted by the effects of COVID-19. However, they significantly exceeded our expectations as we continue to experience some impact from COVID-19 as well as a higher number of other excess deaths.
What is to blame?
No mRNA vaccines were mentioned for the cause of excess deaths - of course. But he did mention “heart disease and diabetes among other causes.”
“Ripple effects” on health from the pandemic lockdown were the also reasons mentioned for the excess deaths.
Excess deaths are not an exclusive problem for the United States - many countries in the world are experiencing this spike - Does anyone know what these countries have in common?
Second thought - If the booster uptake is low - shouldn’t the excess deaths be returning to normal levels?
Third - Why is the media silent - they went crazy for a virus with a 99.9997% survival rate - but excess deaths explode and crickets…






The local funeral home (locally owned) just built another "branch" in a nearby community. With business booming, they'll probably have it paid for in 2-3 years. Great timing on their part.
Meanwhile, after a funeral/burial last August 2022, I (I'm a pastor) was riding home with the funeral director (a member of my church) and I asked him if he was having more funerals than usual. He said yes - they were up around 20 funerals over the previous year at that point (8 months into the year); he said they usually averaged around 100 funerals per year; but by August they were over the previous year by 20 more services!
Nothing to see here - move along.
We need to stop saying “deaths due to covid”
The truth is “deaths due to covid government protocols”
Such as zero early treatment and then hospital murders.
