I'm a retired Funeral Director and Embalmer who started this blog in 2006 to document my transition from retail into Funeral Services. I'm not sure comments are working as of July 2026. If you have questions email me using the Email Me link below.

Next Big Project

We bought new doors for the front entrance to the funeral home. We spent all day friday sanding them, staining them, and finishing them off with a coat or two of urethane. Once we get them hung, which will be this weekend, then we will take off some of the interior doors and sand them and re-varnish them. Hopefully this will not interfere with any further training I may receive.
We've hit a slow-down, with only about 16 or so calls for November. Most of those were direct cremations, but I did not sit with any of those families.

Small business I guess, everyone has to do everything? Seems like you guys spend a lot of time on Funeral Home Improvements... I suppose there is down time... Hows the training going, are you getting quality time with the owner?

Yes, we are a small funeral home, averaging about 250-275 calls per year. There are six of us: The Owner, The Co-owner (whom I refer to as My Boss), The Returning Employee, The Courier/Errand Guy, the secretary, and me.
We do most of our own maintenance and upkeep. The only thing we don't have to do is cut the lawn. We have a guy comes in once a week to take care of it.
