From an AP report:

Benedictine monks have won the final round in their lawsuit to keep selling caskets from their monastery outside New Orleans. Their attorney, Darpana Sheth, calls it a great victory for St. Joseph Abbey and for entrepreneurs nationwide.

Sheth says she learned today that the U.S. Supreme Court won’t hear the Louisiana State Board of Embalmers and Funeral Directors’ appeal.

A district judge and the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals had found no reasonable grounds for a regulation that only state-licensed funeral directors may sell coffins in Louisiana.

The monks are trying to support their monastery and the funeral directors were trying to keep their monopoly. Great outcome!
