"A Lucrative Business"

Guatemala's constant streak of murders ,17-a-day, provide a steady flow of customers to unregulated funeral homes, where funeral workers can embalm corpses in the back of auto repair shop or rush to crime scenes to gather information that will allow them to locate, notify and make a sales pitch to the bereaved relatives.
