Who or what is your inspiration in business?

Keeping families together for eternity. After a family tragedy, I developed a method of burials. This method would allow a large amount of burials on a family plot, without using a large parcel. The use of PVC pipes would be used to stack burial urns, one on top of another. This system can be used in all traditional headstones, memorial parks, and our exclusive freestanding columbarium.

How do you stay motivated?

My age and health have been a detriment, but I believe I'm ahead of market demand, and with exposure, I'm sure the public would embrace this method as a sensible alternative. This enables families to reduce costs towards generational burial, yet give Death Care providers alternative options to their portfolios.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Keep my dreams of success moving forward. As I mentioned, I need public awareness.
