Today Isaiah Owens' Funeral Home is one of the busiest in Harlem.
He's got another one back home in Branchville, S.C. A wall full of
plaques praise his dedication. And in the normally understated world
of undertaking, he is positively famous for his ability to make the
dead look almost as happy as he is.
His mortuary's motto: "Where beauty softens
the grief."
