 Schmitz Funeral Home was the first [[the_humans|ExoHuman]] funeral parlor on [[the_planet_voi_700_d|VOI 700 D]], founded in early 2626 by twin brothers Ernest and Joe Schmitz. Both had survived the crash of the [[last_frontier|Last Frontier]] and initially shared the belief that settlers needed a dignified, [[the_earth|Earth]]-like burial tradition to anchor themselves in the new world.

 ===== Look and Feel =====
-Inside smells of wood shavings, wax, and faint incense. Dim lanterns reflect off blackened hull panels, turning scars from the crash into delicate patterns. Soft string music — broadcast nightly from Weber Broadcasting — floats through hidden speakers. Despite the somber business, the space feels calm, almost hopeful, encouraging mourners to speak of new beginnings as much as endings.
+As soon as you enter the building, the improvised chaos of New Kourou is left outside.
+At Schmitz, everything is tidy and orderly. And there is a scent of citrus, wood shavings, wax and clarity in the air. No one here says much – everything runs its orderly course.
