It is stated that I am a respectful citizen of sugar land which is only hours away from Houston. I am writing this letter to tell you about the absence of a funeral home in sugar land. Due to its absence, we have to take out dead bodies to other places which are not only costly but also tiring as we have to leave our home and perform the last rites of our loved ones far away from staying in hotels. It is difficult to visit their grave occasionally which wouldn’t have been difficult if their last rites were performed in our own area.
As we have to go to other funeral homes, we are charged more than locals as we cannot go anywhere else with the dead body. Not only commute, but funeral homes are also very expensive. I wish if you would consider setting up a funeral home in our area as it is a good business. People die each day and their last rites are important to perform, so funeral homes never go out of business. You can earn profit whereas, we will have a funeral home in our area and would not move to other areas and disrespect our deceased.
I have attached a business proposal for the funeral home along with my letter for your consideration. Please give it a read and contact me if you need further information about our area.
Regards,
Eric Dane

Introduction
Death is an inevitable reality in one’s life that can never be denied. It is not absurd to prepare for your funeral as it will approach one day. Many people buy insurances that will cover their funeral after their death whereas, many people mention all their funeral requirements in their will. Family members of the deceased make sure that each wish of the deceased is fulfilled. There are people who will spend thousands on funerals, these people are our target market. It is not difficult to stay in such business without work as many people die each day. Some may be poor but others are rich and will require a luxurious goodbye from the world, although they cannot even enjoy it.
Therefore, the funeral home setup is a very good business plan. If you are doubtful about moving forward, you can look up other funeral homes in cities and talk to them about business. Otherwise, I have mentioned all the costs and requirements of the funeral home in my proposal. Feel free to contact me if you want to know anything further about this business plan.
Business structure
It is very important to build a structure for any business to progress. Each member of the funeral home should be integrated to understand the loss of grieving people and provide comfort. Each member at any rank should know their responsibilities and work in a manner that business runs smoothly.
