On this episode The Commander is dropping HUGE news from the exotic inland of Aruba. According to The Cremation Association of North America, the number of licensed crematories in the United States increased 8.9% over the last two years, and approximately one-third of funeral homes operate their own crematories, with another 11% planning to open their own in the next five years.
