Sitting With My First Family

I sat with my first family today, with the owner listening in from the next room. Overall, it went well. I missed a couple of details, such as whether the family wanted an obituary notice locally and/or in an out of town paper. I also explained our prices at the wrong moment, but I did explain them, sort of. I could have done a better job at that, but in part I split the blame between myself and my superiors. I could have been better prepared, as I knew last night this was coming, but they also could have done a better job preparing me, as well. Still, I am satisfied, as was the owner. He said I did good for a first time and not to worry about the small mistakes I made.
