A funeral home is stepping things up and opening a Starbucks store inside to boost business.

HAHAJK.COM reports:
The Robinson Funeral Home in Easley, S.C., has decided the loss of a loved one doesn’t stand a chance against the craving for a Grande Caramel Latte, and is opening a Starbucks in one wing of the home.

Why not! If the aroma doesn't make them sit up, they really are dead.

I don't see what's wrong with a Starbucks at a funeral home, honestly...

In fact, coffee might make excellent embalming fluid!

All the funerals I've been to have offered coffee, tea and water to the bereaved and their visitors. So at this place I would have to spend $5 to get a cup of coffee? Like I'm crying all over myself, makeup running down my face and I have to go into Starbucks and fill up? AND pay for it when I'm paying $15k for the funeral?

I've accomplished that a few times but it was the other way around and involved some PETA party favors.

Most people want their funeral to be less about shedding of tears and more about remembering their life. Towards that end, I would be OK with a funeral home that had a Starbucks -- and a sports bar as well!

I don't drink coffee and hot chocolate at Starbucks tastes terrible. Since I'm trying to stay away from both funeral homes and Starbucks I really don't care.

Not while it's still being used a funeral home! XD If it *was* a funeral home renovated to become a store then sure. No problem. My town's water department did that and it turned out nice. I can't imagine sharing the same space with a working funeral home though!

You can get your fix before or after. Just not during unless it's to keep you awake....

First off... This question is Hilarious! I guess it would work depending on the coffin salesman as he dickers back and forth like a car dealer trying to get you to buy the most expensive model......We all know how long that dreaded process can take. So yeah, I need my coffee...I may well be awhile.
