SCI Scandal
I know that the scandal could be subject to NPOV concerns because of the fact that President Bush had ties to the head of SCI, as well as the firing of May - which may or may not have been politically motivated. I've tried to present this information in as netural a tone as possible. I would hope that if people disagree with the intent of that section that they would present evidence for or against Bush and incorporate it into the article, and not do a wholesale deletion of the section.

Pl. see discussion at Talk:Funeralgate. Thanks. Pan Dan 12:05, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
I have tried to change as much as I can at the moment to increase the article's neutrality. I must point out, however, that the article's selection bias is impossible to overlook. I would request that someone with more time than myself attempt to take an unbiased look at SCI. All I had time to do was basically put the word "alleged" in front of actions attributed to the company without proof--or, frankly, even logical connection. (How can a corporation desecrate graves? Clearly it was employees of the corporation whose actions are imputed to SCI--actions which the company almost certainly knew nothing about as they were occurring). Anyway, it seems ridiculous to me that an article on SCI that purports to be "neutral" can open with a paragraph about SCI trying to hide its existence from consumers (need I point out that most funeral companies aren't "branded" like, say, Wal-Mart? The industry isn't exactly conducive), and then go on to be almost entirely about grave desecration, funeralgate, and no-bid contracts.
