Good Mourning Channel

(Berlin, Germany) If there's a buck to be made, someone will try. Check out this venture.

A German businessman plans to launch the country's first television channel dedicated to funerals and mourning, complete with death announcements and documentaries about cemeteries.

The channel, which will be called Etos TV, is meant to inform people about funeral practices and act as a counter to a growing trend in Germany to be buried anonymously, said Kerstin Gernig from the German undertakers' association.

"Every person has left his mark, raised children, paid taxes, done something. We would like them to be shown respect. This channel will inform people in a discreet, serious way how to bury their loved ones.

If the idea is profitable, expect it to migrate to the U.S.
