1).2009 Year end Financial report- Revenue Loss. 2.) Purchase of Rights to Burial Vaults 3.) Major purchase of non Funeral Manufacturer K-Tron 4.) Entry into the online obituary and memorials Market with ObitLink.
It seems that the burial vault purchase, the large non funeral industry corporate purchase, and the entry into the online memorial obituary business all follow from the 2009 revenue Loss.

2.) Purchase of Rights to Burial Vaults
3.) Major purchase of non Funeral Manufacturer K-Tron

“the Jackson family didn’t have the money to bury Michael. They didn’t have it in July, when they put on a big show before and after the Staples Center memorial. The estate wound up paying for that, I’m told, and it cost north of a half a million dollars including all the limos, flowers, and the big party at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel.”
