Robinson Funeral Home & Crematory, Downtown, Easley, SC |
Perhaps by
now you’ve read or heard the news about the funeral home selling Starbucks
coffee.
The owner
of the Easley, SC, establishment, Chris Robinson, is opening a coffee shop in a
part of his funeral home and will sell Starbucks there.
Referring
to families and friends of loved ones in a television interview, Robinson said,
"If this provides them a little escape, gives them a break from the stress
they are going through, that's what it’s all about -- to make them feel a
little better."
A little
escape? A break from stress? Hey, pass the wine, please. And while you’re at it, perhaps a nice
massage would help. Chocolate seems to
help relieve stress also, so maybe there will soon be a shop for Godiva
chocolates set up. That could be between
the wine bar and the Ben and Jerry’s or Blue Bell ice cream shop.
We all know
that “stressed” spelled backwards is “desserts,” and I’m all for dessert giving
the break from stress, as Robinson describes it.
Maybe a
little jazz trio in the corner could help provide that little escape. Some music, chocolate, wine, coffee, soft
drinks, ice cream and other desserts – this could be the start of something
big. Hey, add in a manicure on the side,
okay?
Robinson
also said that his coffee shop will be open to the public.
Can’t you
just hear folks making plans to meet for a coffee break at the local funeral
home?
And don’t
you hope funeral home personnel can distinguish between the urns of coffee and
the urns with ashes??!!?!?!
