Maybe a new COO would have been a better move. Her figure of $5-10M for a crematory seemed way off to me - it's basically a glorified oven in a building - so I did a little research and found this:

It says to budget $100-250K to get started, which seems a lot more reasonable than $10M.

The nummer wasn’t for the crematorium, it was for the entire runway of the business which included a crematorium in order to become profitable and get to the point where they would be an attractive acquisition target.
