Update at 5:53 p.m. ET: Starbucks' Alisa Martinez, the senior manager for global brand PR, has e-mailed USA TODAY's Bruce Horovitz to clarify the news. The original headline stated "Starbucks to open inside a S.C. funeral home."

As we confirmed, this is a Foodservice account, but Starbucks is not "opening a store" inside a funeral home. Chris Robinson, the owner of the funeral home, is opening his own café called Coffee Corner that will be serving Starbucks coffee and beverages. ... The way the footage was spliced and diced in the original local news story it looks like we hooked up a logo outside the funeral home to drive traffic in, which I assure you, is not the case. ...

Original post: If you're dying for one more double latte in Easley, S.C., we have just the thing: Starbucks is opening a "coffee corner" inside the Robinson Funeral home next month.

Starbucks confirmed to USA TODAY's Bruce Horovitz that the funeral home will be serving up its brew in a special wing of the building.

The owner, Chris Robinson, tells WSPA-TV that it is just one more service for the grief-stricken.

"If this provides them a little escape, gives them a break from the stress they are going through, that's what its all about -- to make them feel a little better," he tells the TV station.

Robinson, who notes that the cafe will serve the public as well as mourners, says opening a Starbucks fits in with the history of the fourth-generation funeral home.

He says his great-grandfather started the funeral home inside a main street general store, where people would gather and drink coffee.
