You had me at “cremains.” Ugh, what a terrible non-word. Others include:

– The body
– “Where did it die?” (Instead of using a name or appropriate pronoun)
– Hearst
– Direct Disposer (In Florida, that’s what they call licensed individuals at a Direct Cremation firm.

In reply to Danielle Desjarlais. Danielle, I hear you! I love that you're owning the word undertaker fully and it sounds like giving it more modern meaning! Thank you for doing that.

I agree with just about every single one of these terms, save one. I frequently use the term “Undertaker” when asked what I do for a living. I tell people I’m an Undertaker. This came after years of frustrating conversations about “who embalms the bodies?” …”I do”….”Who arranges the funerals?” ….”I do”……”Who drives the cars?….” I do”. Telling people I was a Funeral Director gave them the impression I just stood at the front and pointed a lot; they seemed to get the idea once the Undertaker came around. I don’t do it as much anymore but still use the term once in a while.

Now cremains? Ugh. That one can go way far away. Like now.

I do not like when facilities refer to people who have passed away as “expired”…. how terrible! They are not dairy products!
