A massive pyramid on the property of a private home in which the mummification of cats, dogs and, reportedly humans, occurs.

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.
