I know it was posted a few years ago, but I felt compelled to respond. I am in my late 20s and am finally beginning my trek into the world of funeral service. I have (somewhat secretly) wanted to do this since the age of 8, when I attended the arrangement conference and eventually the funeral service of my great-great uncle. In the subsequent years since then I have unfortunately been to too many funerals, often for people too young to die. But each and every service confirmed my silent belief that this was my calling. I was discouraged from the field in my teenage years by my father, who thought that I was weird for choosing such a field.

As I am on my own and married now, I have taken another look at this amazing profession, and know that it is my calling. I am excited to pursue a career in this changing industry, and anticipate learning a great deal, and being part of the new generation of funeral directors. Thanks for the article!

Following the example God sets in the Torah, as well as the examples of the first Jews, Avraham and Sarah, we are instructed to visit the sick, bury the dead, comfort mourners, provide clothes for people who need them, feed hungry people, and offer shelter to travelers.
