Yes, and apparently the consequences were NOT the same. I found another item of interest in this photograph. I have seen reports that the Slaughter’s are doing well, and even have attained celebrity status in their parts. I guess you could say that the general community felt more sorry for them than the internet community.

*suddenly pops up out of a closed coffin*
*SQUEEZES the stuffins out of the Moomin*
*disappears in a puff of graveyard dust*
‘Cuz that’s what the Moomin and I do. We pop out of unlikely places, *squeeze* the stuffins out of each other and then mysteriously disappear. Been doing it for years.
Hey! I recognize that funeral home. It’s on the south side of Chicago. I grew up not too far from there. As a kid, everytime we drove past there, that sign never failed to make me laugh. It wasnt until I was an adult that I learned more about the Slaughter family. They are a prominent, influential, politically connected, and extremely wealthy, Black family. That being said, the sign STILL amuses me lol!
I’ve seen funeral homes named “Bury & Roberts”, “Amigone” (that’s the family name), “Curtin” and “Dohn”. Then there’s the “Childs Funeral Home”, which is a whole other category.
finally, it has been posted. i passed by that sign everyday to work last year but didn’t take the time to get off to take a pic to post. it gave me reason to giggle each and every day.
is it Jessi slaughter?
… now she’s just a meme-ry

consecuences are NEVER the same!!!
Dude watch what you say, you could be caught by the cyber poh-leece.
So…how is business?
Dead slow.
I have a morbid fascination here…tell me more!
You mean, I can stiff ya?
Geez…no need to be so rigorous about it!
I can always bury the evidence. You cannot prove anything.
Decompetition here is survival of the fittest….
Come into my parlour.
I would rather not. It’s a lifeless party.
Para-LIZE!
What happened with that decease and sist order?
Dying to get in there!
I’d kill for their funeral service…no actually I’d Slaughter for it
I bet they make a killing.
They cream(ate) the competition.
Yabbut, do they serve deep-fried bier?
That doesn’t make sense to me.
I’m dead serious.(keep it going)
… mortifried …
maybe i should go on a die(t)
Yes, in spades.
And they also serve the non-deep fried variety of bier in pyrex mugs.
I’ll be they urn a lot on the side.
They also serve old-fashioned floats.
Though they discovered that serving bier floats was a grave mistake.
“Please sir, can I have some mort?”
No. You’ll spoil your diener.
Many customers didn’t like all that foam. The French in particular were often seen removing the head.
No need to be so cryptic…how do you REALLY feel?
I didn’t like their manner. Too obsequies.
not even un petit peu de la mort?
Take two shinies and call me in the mourning.
You know I’m not a morning person. I wake up feeling all testate.
posting from my black bury
Needs extra en-Palm-ing chemicals for the burial
Stop with the puns.I’m dead serious.
Sorry for the repeat joke,I had a fatal error,I didn’t think it would add the comment.
I bet he’s a Sgt.
The G.I. to regular Joe program is off and running
They could team up with these folks:

They may be related.
*shrug*
Another example of family name pride getting in the way of best practices in marketing and just good business sense.
Well, this one is pretty weak.
Can’t spell Slaughter without laughter.
or the S.

*disappears in a puff of graveyard dust*
Um … DW? Why are you hanging out in a coffin?
*returns stray stuffin to The Moomin*
*squeezes The Moomin for good measure*
I had a bank that operated like that. Dragon was probably just saving up her squeezes.
‘Cuz that’s what the Moomin and I do. We pop out of unlikely places, *squeeze* the stuffins out of each other and then mysteriously disappear. Been doing it for years.
How does having a thermometer display outside your store improve your reputation as a funeral director, that’s the real question here.
It’s X degrees outside, but in here, we keep ‘em cold.
Lol! Nice family
preposterous
It’s real:

Darauf mal gepflegt abspritzen.
>_< gross
Could be worse… without the S it would be “laughter and son”
How is this a fail anyways? Am I the only one who thinks this counts as a win?

no, your are not the only one.
No, I do too. I love you. Let’s get married. <3.

Slaughter LOL do they also raise cattle
Can’t spell slaughter without spelling laughter

Wut? 93° Or is it the Killcount? :O
Why would the funeral home be 93 degrees inside?
FAIL? dude, having “Slaughter” as last name has to be the most hardcore thing in the world.
Somewhere near my home is a shop where they sell wheelschairs. It is named after the owner, whose name would be translated to.. Legcutter.
Some people should really think about if their last name fits their shop O_o
Mr. Slaughter took his younger son under his wing in hopes that one day he would carry on the family funeral business.
His older son joined the army before going into professional wrestling and eventually joining G.I. Joe.
Actually that’s a win
good way to keep yourself in business
