Anyone Work in the Funeral Industry?

I was involved with funeral homes in Pennsylvania, for a brief time. I didn't find it disgusting, but at times I was uncomfortable with the work.

I suppose those who do it for a living do help people to cope with their loss, and I guess I'd have to admire them for that. I don't think I could do it on a full-time basis.

I guess most of us are too preoccupied with life and what it hands us to give much time to think of death. That's so final, isn't it?

What exactly do you do at the funeral home?
I do not have a problem with it. I asked what you do, because I am presently looking for work, and was wondering what kind of jobs are needed there.
My father had a cousin who was a funeral director, and my husband's aunt owned a funeral home.
My husband was at one time a pre need counselor. Just like you said, some people do not want to discuss it. They felt because they were in their 30's or 40's, they did not need to talk about it.
No one would open their minds to see the sense that it made.
I like helping people especially when they need comfort.
You have a great day, and welcome to Mylot.

No! its just a part of our cycle we are born to be died later and we cannot change to
it..
Back in my college days i have a classmates that works in the funeral and to tll the thruth he is an embalmer
anyway he did not tell to anyone in our class untill i discover it when one of our neighbor died and he come to the house of my neigbour
And I though also he is only adriver coz i see him in the drivers seat, but unfortunately i ask him what he doing here,and he replied
I am the embalmer and im here to take the corps. Im shock but at thesame time i apreciate him becoz he did a very good job.
Imagine a guy studying Civil Engineering but working to a funeral as an embalmer to support his study.

Then After a couples of days I ask him why did you not tell us that you work for a funeral
He said, Im ashame of my job..
Then I replied. Why you ashame! Dont you know that you have a good job only few people
can work for that kind of profession and you have good intention to finish study...
So dont be ashame what ever you do as long as its legal there no way to be ashame I said...
and after that i tell to all of our classmates what he is proffesion and all of my classmates are welcoming him and accepting him

The reason i tell this story i just wanted to show that thers no point to be ashame as long you doing legal..
