Subject: Re: Loewen Group

 A while ago I believe Brain Wowk mentioned that the bureaucratic Loewen
 Group prevented a timely brain freezing in British Columbia, Canada. 
 Recent events have shown that Loewen Group has criminal tendancies as
 well. After taking over Jackson funeral homes in Mississippi, which has a
 contract with O'Keefe insurance, Loewen illegally switched to their own
 Riemann Insurance. O'Keefe sued for breach of contract and won a
 settlement of $500 million dollars. An out of court settlement reduced
 this to $175 million in cash and stock. Loewen Group CEO Raymond Loewen
 is now looking like a fool and his ability to finance further expansion
 has been seriously compromised. Loewen still faces another large lawsuit
 from an insurance company in Philadelphia. Good luck.
