The best to you in your career. Working with families on any level you'll find much rewards with a great feeling knowing you have done some small thing that seemed great to them. You will make a few long term friends long the way, and will come across a few that will touch you personally to a great extent. Through the years you will look back on all the good you have done for so many.
hey thanks for you videos theyre very insightful! im currently in the air force and heading back home in the next few months. i plan on attending a funeral directing program in my home state and its great to see a view point of a current apprentice.
ive been told of funerals back in the 50s and 60s in the south where bodies sat straight up in the coffins.bodies going to spasms and arms waving about and of bodies well farting..very loudly... and whatnot..of course the south isnt known for its quality of workmanship in any field.so im sure cheap stuff and corner cutting was done back then.lol if someone i knew was laying there and they cut a level 10 butt blaster?,i wouldn't know weather to laugh,scream...or run! lol.
great video! like some others im thinking of pursuing this field as well. seems quite difficult to get into without running your own operation. my biggest concern is being able to make a living long term with so few jobs. what are your thoughts on that issue? thanks!
@bass4312 In our funeral home directors both embalm and direct, so we do wear suits all the time. We just have protective clothing we slip on during embalming to protect our clothing.
@gospelexpresstalk It can be difficult to find a funeral home to work for. There are tons of schools out there, have you possibly googled to search for schools?
@kelly77568 Great question. Yes it does make me sad sometimes, especially with young children. We had a family member that passed last week and we directed the service. That does get very tuff because not only does your family look to you for direction, you still have to be tough and professional. So yes to your question it can be very hard at times.
@GreenHillFH i mentioned this is the other video..but are there any like situations that ever freaked you out out or made you not want to come to work that day? things you cant explain or things that scared you terribly?
LOL Mr Joe Johnsons riding in the back and suddenly comes to life and he whips out the glock .45 and is like "down down down,i said down boy!" BANG BANG,BANG BANG.BANG..............................BANG BANG.
"damn zombies always coming back in the back of the truck i hate it when they do that!!" ..lol makes you wonder why we put them in STEEL boxes with locks on them hu?
@pk33617 Thanks for the feedback I'm actually I am 23 years old. The average age of a funeral director is around 55 years old, but they too were young once.
@TwilightFlip. Thank you I appreciate it. I will probably be making videos next week. Anything in particular you would like to see? Thanks again, William.

wow, interesting stuff. But you seem awfully young...are you even 30? always seems to be mid age or older people in funeral homes.
