In Cable's reflection on the Goodbody funeral home he found out that it isn't just a gloomy place, but a welcoming, homey kind of building that takes care of your deceased loved ones with the utmost care. The assumptions that he made about not only the place but the people working there were all pretty much incorrect. Personally, I have been in a few funeral homes and I know that they seem rather odd and musty but they are actually quite nice and make you feel at least a little better about the situation. I feel that I learned a lot about the Goodbody funeral home from this reading because Cable did a very good job explaining the finest details, even with a hint of sarcasm. His view, that funeral homes are there to make money, can be seen when he talks about the credit card sign that was placed next to the crucifix. This showed me that yes, the funeral home is there for you, but they do mean business however. The view I have of this funeral home is that they mean business, but also that they do try and do their best for the customer as well.
