Dear Lauren,

Even though my family has been in the funeral industry for more than 80 years, I have only been on staff for the last seven. I am still amazed (but delighted) that someone as young as you, or one of our employees, just 19 years old, know that this is the job they are to do. I almost feel that I am missing something, not experiencing that secure knowledge until recently.

Bless you for what you do and for being part of the next generation of funeral professionals in a hurting world.

Thanks for sharing this. It is my hope to, one day, be a funeral director. I am wondering the same thing…what to do after graduation? What if I can’t find a job? If so, what if I make a mistake during a funeral. These things worry me, but it helps to know that others have some of the same concerns.

I’ve been an embalmer for almost a decade now, and I’m really happy to see your outlook on this industry. Keep up the great attitude and great work. Thanks for making this a position of substance and respect, not just for the dead, but for their families and us as professionals.
