Oh, my. This one comes under the heading of "What were they thinking?"

In Bluff, Utah, a number of years ago I failed to photograph a combination mortuary and bait shop. The merchant had his tombstones out on the front lawn. Nailed to a tree among them was a sign reading: "Night crawlers $1.00." I'll always regret missing that one.

In Jamaica, at the bottom of a hilly road leading up to a mortuary, graveyard and crematorium, I found two things in unpleasantly close proximity:
1. A hand-lettered sign for the crematorium
2. A collection of barbecue grills.
All the same colour, at that.
I took the picture.
