...deaths per year that is, over the next 15 to 20 years. Let me say that again 1 million more deaths per year in this country than we deal with right now and that's assuming for calculation purposes that the population remains about the same size over that time. The population is expected to grow (at least moderately) as well.
Going into the holiday weekend, I don't have time to start a major posting but I now have a PDF version of the American Funeral Director article I wrote for the January 2008 issue. This begins to spell out some of the issues.
Give it a read and get me some feedback. I need to write a follow-up piece which looks at the mortality changes on a more regional basis (some areas will see moderate growth, others--explosive) and I would want to address anything about this article which is unclear or incomplete.
Thanks.
