When I was a child in Texas, I remember that some funeral homes also had 
ambulances.  If the person died, and there were no other arrangements, 
then the owner of the ambulance got to handle the burial (and get paid 
for it).  Talk about a conflict of interest.

Any country where a physician can refuse to accept a patient is not 
civilised.
