Summary

This quote highlights the fluctuating nature of funerary fees as mentioned by an undisclosed speaker. It suggests that the cost of funeral services varies depending on the demand. When there is an increase in the number of funerals, the fees rise proportionally, potentially indicating an opportunistic pricing strategy.

This quote reflects how economic aspects can influence the pricing and profitability of funeral services.
