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.

My First Funeral

Tomorrow is the big day: my first funeral from start to finish. I will be responsible for getting the family to pay their final respects, exit the chapel and line up the cars for procession. I will be responsible for loading the casket and leading the procession to the National Cemetery. I will be responsible for unloading the casket at the cemetery and getting the family seated, and I will be responsible for getting them moving again once the ceremony is over. I think I can handle it, I hope I can, but you can be sure I'll be praying about it tonight.

After following this blog for the last year or so, I'd be 100% comfortable with you doing anyone in my family. Knock 'um de.. Uh never mind. Good luck!

Thanks, guys, I really appreciate the kind comments. Since the owner has been out of town, I've been doing a lot more in the funeral directing arena than I would be otherwise, and this has really helped me learn a lot and increase my confidence.
