Savvy readers of UTC are always quick to spot promising investment opportunities. We think we may have found a live one for you.

Funeral home operators such as Service Corp International (SCI) and Carriage Services (CSV) have been struggling to grow earnings over the past few years. And the stocks have been....well, dead money.

Although they say you cant take it with you, Major League Baseball is hoping that doesn’t hold true for diehard fans. Fans can now choose between stylish urns and caskets decked out with the colors and logo’s of their favorite teams...providing everlasting support into the afterlife.This infinite time horizon should ensure that even Cubs fans get the championship they so desperately crave. Fans can still be part of game after final out (MSNBC)

And with New York Mets fans downright suicidal these days we would expect the growth rates of the funeral homes to re-accelerate.  We are going to do some digging here...but these products might breathe some life into the deathcare industry.

Crackerjack not included.
