Truth in advertising?

triadruid and I were driving home from work, we noticed a profusion of American flags up at the funeral home next to the Masonic cemetary. They were accompanied by a large number of motorcycles, and we thought, "Ah. That must be a biker's funeral. And they all came up on the bikes, how nice." Then, as we drove a bit further, we noticed a camper with a yellow banner on the side. It appeared to be soliciting volunteers to join the Army. But surely, I thought, there's no way the Army would recruit at a funeral home. It's just, I don't know, in poor taste.
This morning, when we drove by, the bikes were gone, but the flags were still there. The camper had been relocated to a spot right in front of the building. It did, in fact, bear a recruitment banner. They are, in fact, recruiting for the Army, at the funeral home. For the life of me I cannot figure out why anyone would think this was a good idea, but I am open to suggestions.
