Guatemala Funeral Homes

"Don Carlos", the owner of "Valles del Sol", a car repair shop turned into funeral home, prepares the body of a murdered man to be buried while other funeral service salesmen watch a comic show on T.V., Guatemala City, Saturday, Aug 29, 2009. Guatemala's constant streak of murders ,17-a-day, provide a steady flow of customers to unregulated funeral homes, where funeral workers can embalm corpses in the back of auto repair shop or rush to crime scenes to gather information that will allow them to locate, notify and make a sales pitch to the bereaved relatives.
