Disconcerting advertising

In an AM radio commercial from the '90s, the president of a local funeral home touted his mortuary's benefits.  He made reasonable selling points about the business providing quality service, not soliciting people on the phone, and not visiting door to door.  The commercial's tag line, however, was probably best left unsaid.  Somehow, it seems ill-advised for a funeral home representative to end a commercial with "Thank you, and happy holidays."
