    I reckon people could start having less lavish funerals e.g. hire less limos etc.. This could mean some funeral directors go out of business.

    Safer jobs are the armed forces, police and bailiffs.

    Good point mate but would you know how to organze a funeral or what paperwork you need? Still need me I'm afraid ;)

    What about organic new age funerals? Don't need some bloke in a limo then do you? Specially not one who's likely to be propositioning the widow before the body is cold.

    Benefit claiments

    I suspect its going to be very unpleasant to be on benefits in the coming years, with the us in billions in debt its a lot harder to justify blowing cash on a constituency that doesnt vote or pay tax.
