BBQ/Crematorium?
This in from the land of 'I Sh!t You Not". A Georgia man has what he thinks is a great business plan in the works. He wants to open a crematorium next to his exsisting barbeque stand. All that stands in his way are a few permits and possibly good sense. Dinner anyone? http://www.explodingcigar.com/article385.htmlComments

patty, you remember my 'people taste like bacon' post from awhile back? some guy said that in the town where he grew up, there was a barbeque joint near a crematorium and they both had the same smell around them. so is pork really the other white meat? or is it all Animal Farm... the pigs are in control and while we think we're eating them, we're really eating each other. hah! toss that around in your head for awhile.

In these tough economical times whatever keeps the price of meat down is a good idea!
Pulled Pork anyone?

I'll be one of the first lined up for Soylent Green Smoked Chicken!
(By the way, for those of you that don't know, the name you call us by-'Mohawk'-is actually derived from the Algonquin word for 'people eaters.' Kind of hard to set aside a bad rumor when you're named for it....)

I'm from Georgia. Mortality isn't really a big deal here. BBQ is.
We already dealt with that whole crematory mess in 2002 so now everything is pretty much downhill easy going.

P.S. I am pretty sure that is the worst case of a crematory messing up in written history. I Sh!t you Not!
The city council's apathy only suggest that news from 2002 has either never reached Summerville or that they are ignorant rural Georgians which as we well know is very uncommon.

OK. . . I don't mean to be long-winded, but I got kind of caught up researching this. . .
I do some work in Northern Georgia, not far from Summersville, so I was giving some people there a hard time about this news story. They said they hadn't heard of such a thing, so I decided to look into it a little further. If you notice from the Exploding Cigar site, the date of the article was June 2002. (Not exactly recent news, but that's OK - I don't care about the freshness date on my weird news.)
I little time at whitepages.com, and I found the Price Funeral Home. However, whitepages.com didn't turn up any BBQ joints next door. So I tried to contact the funeral home directly, but it seems they went out of business last year. So I guess if you were interested, then you're too late. There's no BBQ and no crematorium - at least none open and under Price management.
However, there is one more bit of weirdness about the whole thing. As Pablo mentioned, there was another crematorium incident in Norther Georgia that was uncovered in February 2002. According to the Nan Graham book "In a Magnolia Minute," Mr. Price was able to open his crematorium in Summersville precisely because he was able to get a good deal on the slightly used equipment up for auction from the Tri-State Crematory closed down earlier in the year.
