Sometimes we have those little epiphanies in the shower.. sometimes they come from other places. This is a home for those epiphanies.

I think that globalised megacorporations make this sort of chainsaw growth less feasible over time, since you can't extract surplus value from dead people. That wasn't a big deal before because corporations were mostly restricted by country/government, but now they're basically everywhere.
[inb4: this does NOT mean that globalised megacorporations are against genocide. Far from that - it's just that they'd rather order their governments to engage in genocide in other situations. Such as megacorpo turf wars.]
Time for Big Grave to get a piece of the pie
Now to harvest all data and materials out of dead bodies for max-profit.
Multiple post-mortem scans to identify lifestyle parameters and extrapolate to get past buying habits and predict future generation's buying trends.
Then extract longer living organs and bones for use in hyper-processed products. Leave the skin, so that taxidermists can then charge a premium from the relatives to make the "body" look like a real dead person's body before public incineration or embalming and engraving.
Then research zombification ...
