[…] In the little town where I grew up, we all knew the Funeral Director, you had two choices, either the one at Weatherford or the one in Hinton. We knew their family, went to school and church with them and their families had been burying our families for generations. Give your local Funeral Director a hug and if you aren’t following Life With A Mortician’s Wife on Facebook and other social media you should be. (via) […]

I love reading your blogs. I am trying to finish my Mortuary Science program, and find apprentice work. It’s Ben such such a struggle. I am surrounded by such negativity about wanting to do this that I just keep it to my self and have no support group. I have had jobs working in the field, but nothing lasting because I have not taken my board exam yet. It’s Ben a long road 5 years now trying to finish. I very expensive, and much time is needed to study. If you have any food for thought and maybe any ideas on how I can get my foot back in the door to do what my heart is telling me, please answer.

I am just starting my research. I am married and 56, kids just left for college. My husband is open to it and I’m hoping Ernie Rota of Claffey & Rota in Napa will consider selling his business. He built the funeral home in Napa, CA, 50 years ago and is still working it at 91 years of age, with his wife! Thank you for the comments listed with each woman; I’m definitely going to read several blogs. I noticed funeralone did their local website/page. It looks very good. i pray that it be a good, right ministry for me/us. I wouldn’t mind taking an online course and “working” another 20 years. I think Napa should definitely have more than one funeral home. My phone number is 707-287-6449 if anyone wants to give me verbal advice. It seems like a fascinating, meaningful life, helping others deal with grief.

I am so proud of my daughter-in-law, Janice Winfrey, for being a funeral director with Sands Funeral Chapel of Duncan, BC. Being a small branch, she is often on call whether it be her days off or holidays or whatever. She fills in as driver for pick-ups, transport to other branches, taking services in Duncan, Nanaimo, Victoria, etc. Not too long ago she was the director at a service for a baby. Being a mother herself, albeit her child is a grown woman, it must have been so difficult to get through that service and give solace to the family. She deserves a shout out. Thank you.

Hi! I’m a 20 year old going to American River College in Sacramento, CA. I have been working at the funeral home since I was 15; doing pick ups with my dad and tending to funerals. I hoping to get my embaling licenses after my funeral directing license so I can own my own funeral home in my home town of Orland, CA. I am probably the only person in my town that can work with dead bodies. I’d like to get connecting with other girls/guys like me.
