Enhanced view of the Pyramid perimeter. Salt Lake City, Utah - Pyramid of Modern Mummification

A man in Salt Lake City actually makes his living mummifying remains of dogs, cats, and reportedly humans. His home is a pyramid in downtown SLC, and his workshop/embalmorama is in a similar but smaller pyramid in his yard. I saw it firsthand a few years ago. [Dusty Scott, 12/20/2000]

[RA: The Pyramid -- 40 feet square at the base and 26 feet tall -- is actually the headquarters of Summum, a religion that reportedly is the only organization in the world to offer the service of modern mummification.]
