Seattle: Fire and Ice Funeral Services
Fire and Ice Funeral Services [Auburn]
Small Funeral Home and Medium Cryogenic Storage Facility • 1806 Cole St • Fredrick Fire and Ignatius Ice, Owners and Operators • LTG NA/UCAS-SEA-956-487-3249
Fire and Ice offers a full funeral service set to any of fifteen available religious settings. All services come complete with a burial; or their specialties: cremation or cryogenic storage. Since the arrival of Shedim the need for such services has grown exponentially, and luckily, the facilities can handle the demand. According to Fire and Ice, no Shedim has disturbed to slumber of a cryogenically stored person.
Built on top of an industrial incinerator, the funeral home can handle up to four funeral services at one time. The cryogenic chamber is open to relatives of the deceased and offers an affordable rent of around five hundred nuyen per year (more for ‘some’ metatypes…). The current expansion project will ensure a safe resting spot for many more.
> That cryo chamber is spooky, let me tell you. Rows and rows of dead people standing in those tubes with blue faces staring out the windows. And they have this creepy music echoing through the whole place. We went and saw my grandma just that once, and haven’t been back since.

> The two owners are getting up there in age and the kids have started squabbling over the money distribution. Iggy’s kids want the cryogenic money separate from the funeral home, but the Fire twins don’t like that idea at all.

> That music is from the janitor who lives in the upper levels. He’s some kind of weird conjurer named Vincent something. He calls up the spirits of the “guests” and has them help him keep the place clean. I guess they’re only too happy to oblige.

Wonder how many people cheap out and only have their head frozen?

Spooky. Is there any higher incidence of the spirits of the dead hanging around because their bodies are preserved? Or is it the same as a cemetary? Either way would be wierd, I think. I hate magical stuff like that. Somehow, it’s never comforting, no matter the answer.

Background count here hits a solid two, according to MIT&T’s scale. Although, I found it easier to whistle up an Ancestor spirit here than when I’m in a zero background count area….
