The Last Stop
In this observation essay Brian Cable visited a funeral home to see what it was like. You could tell before he even entered that he expected very particular things about the funeral home. He expected it to be perfectly manicured, and set aside like a cemetery might be. But he soon learned that his expectations weren't entirely accurate. The funeral home was in a business district and wasn't perfectly manicured. He met with the undertaker, who was rather stereotypical, and was shown around the entire funeral home. One could tell that what he saw throughout the funeral home rather intrigued him, and he even found the nerve to touch a dead body. I think his assumptions were reasonable to make, but maybe not accurate. Funeral homes can be very odd and uncomfortable places to work. I definitely wouldn't ever want to work in one. Overall I think Cable's observations were well expressed and interesting.

i agree his interest in the home could be seen in the language he used to describe the home
