Someone needs to simply poll the leading funeral homes in each state and count the number of funerals and cremations for the last, say, 10 years. Then report the data.
I suspect a lot of funeral home owners and managers have new beach and lake homes.

When doctors go on strike - patients stop dying! It's a fact, that always disputed by the death industry, that has killed 40 million+ Americans in the last 50 years! (see the book, Death by Medicine)
There are a few publicly traded funeral home companies. I think their stocks are doing very well, but I haven't researched this.
I know as an inflation "work-around," far more people are opting for (cheaper) cremation than burial services. That actually takes away the option of later autopsies.
No, they are dying too. A wife of a funeral home manager died recently in my hometown. My mom mentioned this so I looked it up. A few other funeral home employees in other places have died recently too.
I started (ghoulishly?) carefully reading the obits in the small-town Maine newspaper which we subscribe to, from a 500-mile distance. I count the number of deaths, note how many are in what I consider the normal dying cohort (85+), how many shouldn't be dying--because younger. How many 'died at home in the presence of loved ones (or family)', how many died 'unexpectedly'. Recently, one notice attributed death to 'complications of Covid'--this surprised me. In July, a young 20-ish fellow died 'after a 9 day battle with cancer'. Yup. Those two stood out as screaming the truth--all other notices hide it. However, because I was, until recently, completely uninterested in death notices, I don't have any basis for comparison--did notices before 2021 tend to mention cause of death? I have come to assume that newspapers don't permit truth-telling. Any commenter with any back-up for this assumption? Last week's paper had 9 obits; 6 of them --in my totally biased opinion--shouldn't have been on that page at all. And I am not even going into the surprising write-ups of auto accidents--death-dealing or not.

I do not believe, though, that the funeral home owners and managers are in on the plot. Or are they?
I don't believe that was what Bill Rice, Jr. was insinuating. However, when business is booming people IN THAT BUSINESS get rich.

They recently expanded the state mortuary in Western Australia but it's all 'just a coincidence' https://www.wa.gov.au/government/media-statements/McGowan-Labor-Government/McGowan-Government-to-expand-the-State-Mortuary-20230124
That's was reported long ago - the stocks are going through the roof.
