On the contrary, maybe they would hear from some of the unsatisfied ones, but the satisfied ones probably won't be able to leave a review.
Now that would be a Google review worth reading.
"Did not kill. Extremely dissatisfied. Company does not have a process in place for issuing refund, the Company attempted to satisfy their obligations with a half-loaded revolver. Would not recommend. A very angry 1 Star."

then Sliver comes by to give you hell for posting such an attack at a defenseless business owner.
Yeah, and it would even be awesome if you were required to tie up some loose ends before you got in the pod, too. Will up to date? Affairs in order? No? Okay...we'll help you get that sorted out and then take you to your pod. What a hassle that would save those left behind.
Sure, and why not also offer various other up sale services like slideshows of one's life that can be emailed to family and friends for a nominal charge.
This is just twisted and far too normalizing of something that should only be on the table for very specific instances.

Death is normal. We should stop normalizing long, drawn out end-of-life suffering.

You haven't had to deal with a funeral home before have you? They upsell the people left behind already, why not just do it to the person dying instead?
Actually, this sounds perfect. Part of the pod contract would be a discrete closing of all matters related to your life. Especially closing social accounts and deleting browser history.

I agree. But Canada already has physician-assisted suicide for the terminally ill. And if we’re talking about dementia, that’s a legal and ethical minefield, as people diagnosed with dementia are not legally qualified to make important decisions.
And regardless, the proposal in the OP is for something very different. No mention of age or illness.

Well, I'll have you know I didn't read the article...just the headline and a photo and have formulated my entire opinion on the matter based on those two things.

Also, Rubecube had a response to you on the last page.

So many of them are shameless when it comes to manipulating the grief of the family to make a buck.
I remember the crap they tried to push on me when I was getting my dads stuff dealt with before he died.
Between the expensive urns, the upsell for the cremation box instead of a plywood one. Memorial benches and whatnot, then the pressure to have an expensive service and wake at their facility.
I'm sure I'm forgetting a bunch of stuff, too.

Yeah, I could see some people feeling pressure, especially if you have a high-pressure salesperson. The lady that worked with us for my dad was super chill and zero pressure.
I don't understand people who buy the expensive coffins. For my dad, we went with a cardboard box for the cremation and their cheapest little PVC box for the ashes (we were just spreading them, anyway).
For service, we went outside somewhere nice where he grew up with his friends and family, spread the ashes and then went for dinner.
IDK, funerals and end-of-life costs only cost as much as you want to spend. You can definitely do it cheap. Luckily, I haven't been in the position of feeling pressure to spend more, but I think I'd be teflon on that, anyway. Just don't see the value in an expensive coffin or fancy urn. I would never display the ashes of a passed loved one in my home. That's weird AF.

I got lucky with my mothers funeral last August. The woman who worked was us was easy to deal with and simply gave us the options and let us choose what we wanted. Plus there was zero pressure from her and no upsell. Did a basic cremation and had a family gathering afterwards to celebrate her life.
Sliver won't like this but her box of ashes is displayed in the China cabnet until my brother and I decide what to do with her ashes next summer.

Nothing wrong with handling things however makes your family comfortable. Plus, it's nice to have some time to decide what will be best.
Glad to hear your funeral home experience wasn't stressful.

The mayor of High River owns the funeral home and crematorium that we used. I remember asking if we could get a discount if I promised to vote for him in the upcoming civic election in the fall. We both had a good laugh.
