Non accredited investments or equity crowdfunding is very risky. Do your your diligence before you part with your money.

I also thought this was weird, "Mizen will also showcase local art, host a weekly support group for veterans, and offer conference rooms to be used by local nonprofits."

I wasn't aware of conferences in funeral homes.

Equity crowdfunding is always something that's sounded interesting to me on the surface. Right now crowdfunding is just pre-ordering something with a 0.01% chance of actually getting the thing you've ordered. (I've crowdfunded 3 things in my life. All 3 things failed and I lost everything! But... this is maybe $100 total so I'm not out too much ;)

Getting some equity in the business always made more sense to me. Sure, I want the thing, but for the amount of risk I'm taking on, I want a percentage of your company and future profits!

Neither am I, but I imagine that's part of the overall vision, that this isn't to be a stuffy funeral home of old, but a new fancy-pants one where you can look at art, rent out rooms, and such, in addition to honouring the dead.
