"All things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small..." Apparently, so the song goes, "The Lord God made them all." He also made cancer and malaria carrying mosquitos and the viruses and bacteria which cause AIDS, plus hundreds more deadly diseases.

But one way or the other, we're all going to die. And when we die the funeral business will make a substantial profit. Most funeral businesses in Australia are owned by the MacQuarie Bank. Presently the population of Australia is close to 20 million, and every one of us is going to die. Most of us will have some sort of a Christian funeral, which is both morbid and very expensive. And all the profits will go straight into the pockets of the funeral directors and bank shareholders.

Once we're properly established the Real Wild Church is going to look into the possibility of opening its own funeral parlours the length and breadth of Australia. All profits, and they will be considerable, will got to cancer research, AIDS rsearch and to the Heart Foundation.

Coffins cost a fortune and yet they need not do. Many of them are imported from the USA! How ridiculous. We will build our own coffins for a fraction of the price � (see example above, left.)

If people die intestate (without leaving a will) the proceeds from the funeral will be divided equally between the three charities, but everyone will be encouraged to stipulate where the proceeds should go to.

The advantages to the family of the deceased will be a/ a cheaper funeral and b/ the death will not have been in vain because the proceeds will go to a worthwhile cause � quite probably to a facility which is seeking a cure for the very disease that killed the deceased, and which may soon claim more victims from the same family.

Imagine if this idea catches on and spreads to Europe and the USA! Imagine the billions of extra dollars being pumped into medical research. At the moment it's just a glimmer of a hint of an idea, but I'm hoping people will see this and discuss it with others and eventually bring it to fruition.

This is so obvious an idea I don't know why no one's thought of it before.

Fun, Financial, Sex, or Serious?
