Menace on the Face of the Red Moon

The members of the bereaved family talk to each other and an excerpt of their conversation is as follows:What is that Methuselah's Home the doctor was referring to? Alex asked his elder brother.Methuselah's Home is actually a funeral house, Lauro told Alex. It is owned and operated by Methuselah Guzman. She earned her expertise in mummification from a university in Cairo, Egypt. Of course, Mrs. Guzman is the doctor's wife.My goodness! Why was he allowed to be father's physician?He is the hospital's consultant. All cases similar to that of father are referred to him. He is the best surgeon and internist in town. It's not his fault being married to an embalmer, Lauro explained.Who are we going to get now as undertaker? Alex consulted Lauro and Maria.Isn't Methuselah the best in town? It was Maria who raised the question—which was actually more of an answer.
