Though operating out of a prominently located shop in the town, Topalovis business is mostly based on illegal activities. Instead of making brand new coffins, they simply recycle already used ones with the help of Bili Piton, whose men dig them out from the local cemetery during the night. Once they get their hands on the coffins that had been dug up, Topalovis simply refurbish them and sell them as new, thereby making a large profit with very little overhead. Based on mutual financial interest, the business relationship between Topalovis and Bili is deteriorating by the day as they owe him a large sum of money for the past services rendered and show no intention of paying him.In parallel, Topalovis are in the finishing stages of building a modern crematory on which theyre placing high hopes as the future source of income. ........
