Behind the Scenes: Funeral Home

[@bransonlights]

Couldn't do it. I had an Uncle who did this work all his life, even lived in along with his immediate family the upper floor of the funeral home. Needless to say, as a kid I use to get really creeped out when we went to visit my Uncle because we had to go through of course the lower floor where the bodies were (already prepared for upcoming funerals). And my Mom and grandmother wanted to "see" who all was in the caskets on our way upstairs. Naturally I followed and looked because as a kid I sure wasn't going to be left alone on that floor by myself. I do respect and appreciate all who do this work with respect and great care for the deceased.

[@annamariegiovanini]

I live in a funeral home. My dad is the owner and director and I have helped out with everything that goes on. I see this all the time. This is nothing new or abnormal for me...it's my day to day life. And no, it is not creepy...it has taught me to never take life for granted.

[@susanmackey3994]

What most people don't realize is that, in most states, you can act as your own funeral director and do the funeral at home. What that means is transporting the body yourself, washing and dressing the body, keeping it on dry ice for three days, and having visitation where you are most comfortable--in your own home. Not being so removed from the process by relinquishing all care of the person you love to a stranger is incredibly healing and costs very little compared to the ave cost of $10,000

+Dan Kozlauskos Hello Dan, A question for you if you don't mind. I have been a diagnostic ultrasonographer for the last 34 years; am 63 y/o. I had the good fortune to be hired as a funeral assistant for 2 years in California while I did my ultrasound work at the hospital as well. Always wanted to be a funeral director. Sorry to say, I have no interest in returning to school. Any suggestions or encouragement for me as I leave my hospital work. Originally from Chicago, currently in Philly. I know, it IS my calling and I feel I shortchanged myself in life for not doing this earlier in life. Thank you ahead of time your help. Sam

[@dankozlauskos7076]

+Sam Rocco just apply and see which funeral home will give you a try...start by getting death certicates signed...little by little work your way up thats how I started....good luck

[@Rayven10]

Sam, you said you're in Philly. Pennsylvania requires a 2 year Funeral Service degree to be a Funeral Director / Embalmer (all one license). I'm licensed in PA. There are two schools in PA: one is in Pittsburgh (PIMS) and the other is in the Bethlehem area (Northampton Area Community College). You can also take your classes online through other states' programs, but you'd have to do clinicals (embalming labs) on site. Once done, you have to take and pass the National Board Exam and State Board Exam and do a one year internship. Then you get a full license. As for getting in... it can be very tough. Your best bet, as Dan said, is to talk to funeral directors around your area, work as an assistant on funerals and offer to run errands such as getting death certificates signed and doing removals. If you're reliable, you'll likely stick out in their minds and they can either bring you on as an intern or give you ideas of who to talk to. Good luck!

James Upton I toally agree with you James. There's a lot of good things and bad things about our profession. I been in this profession for the last 17 years. I have educated a lot of families on their affordable options when it comes to funeral services. I've chosen to be cremated however is important to that my family creates a lovely life celebration service with family or friends, because every human being has a life story that must be told. Cheers

[@r5t6y7u8]

Pretty sure embalming is required most places, because a body starts to rot and smell after a few hours. But yes, in the old days they wrapped the person up, sometimes laying them on ice, and had the service within 24 hours. Also, modern funerals - and all the paperwork - confirm the person actually died and didn't try to fake their own death or whatever.

[@MJLeger-yj1ww]

Anyone who has chosen or ends up for some reason (e.g., family business) working in the field of mortuary science, is to be lauded for helping people in maybe some of the worst times in their lives -- losing someone you love. In that regard, we appreciate these videos of "behind the scenes" NOT because we are morbidly curious, like some who will watch these, but because we want to know, after all, it's going to happen to us all! The time to watch it is NOT when you are bereaved, but maybe when you are wondering "what happens" and have been through losing someone but still want to know, maybe, what happens when YOU die. Or maybe you'd rather not know -- it's entirely left up to the individual.

[@Rayven10]

@cannoir Washing is almost always done, but embalming is usually an option. An unembalmed body won't "blow up" in short order unless other circumstances (heat, moisture, etc.) help that process along. An embalmed body in a casket will be preserved for a relatively long time, but not forever. Sooner or later, embalmed bodies also decompose, so you get the same effects - just at a later date.

Good point, but though the approximate consistency may be like sand, the actual makeup might not be the same. Cremains are mineral but I personally don't know that volumetrically the weight is the same. Never thought about it, but it makes sense that the two would be about the same (if not exactly) weight.

[@San47di]

Yes, it happens more then most people realize, but you must 1st obtain Court authorization to do so. It's relatively easy if the deceased was a Military Veteran. Once that's established, they issue federal authorization to take to your local government. It can get pricey.

[@davidbetsey2437]

Thats what the new generation has turned the business into, back in the day when I first started in the industry, (1970) it was all about the family & giving the best service possible. It had to because the lady mortician, Mrs. L. T. (Mamie) Hewing had five funeral homes operating @ the same time, & every service was carried out w/precision performance. Once the service began, there was no talking among the professionals, everything was carried out by a look or motion from the mortician, & that worked until she was in a terrible car accident & one of her sisters was killed in the accident. The good old days. Today, a service is measured by how much money the family spends & how high u were up into society, they would get the mortician & owner & the best staff, & the service w/o money & society gets the left overs. Such a sad commentary, but true.

Doesn't matter how fancy a casket is. Or if a person wants horses or whatever their wishes are. People should be wondering where they will be once they die. They will not be in a casket with horses and rainbows. We all have a choice and that is, will Christ be your Savior today? Because no one knows what tomorrow holds and when they will die. A person can have the most glamorous funeral and another "meaning me", just wants to be cremated and be with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for eternity. I pray that anyone that see's this, will think about...where will you go when you die?

[@MegaSwiming]

Well side the biggest thing when someone dies is do they have a relationship with God that's the only thing that matters

[@lauraparker5437]

jeff chapman No! It is not a matter of a person being good. Galatians 3:1 O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? 2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? 3 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh? Romans 8: 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Psalms 103: 12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us. Where in the bible are you claiming we have to have a perfect relationship with God in order to get into heaven? Yes, that is exactly what we should have with the Lord is a good relationship and give our lives 110% to Jesus. But NO WHERE is it written that what you said is the way to heaven.

[@trolljones4386]

+Laura Parker So what is the proof you have of the claims you made? what proof exists of a heaven? what proof exists of a hell? are you just here to try to appeal to the masses which means offering them a false sense of comfort? (promising the dead eternal life is a false promise you can't prove it).

[@lauraparker5437]

troll jones I never said that. God did. The bible is the word of God and if you don't believe that, you are going to have to answer to God, not me. Sorry to burst yours and anyone's dreams and tell them that if a loved one dies, that is it. The answer is all in the bible and that is why Christ died for the world.

[@trolljones4386]

Laura Parker You must prove that your god even exists in the first place. If you place the book on the level of being the word of god and not just a mythological book of fairy tales. We do not know the answer of what happens after death but without evidence we can't just say one religions account is the correct one.

[@kevinsullivan3448]

If they are reusing the casket and charging another family for it that is wrong, wrong, wrong

[@tedcarlin8157]

As far as I know that is illegal. There are of course all kinds of people doing things that are illegal, but I would think (hope) that in this case it is a minority of funeral homes. There is a long but interesting thing I read earlier all about caskets, and the woman-who works at funeral home-says that even rental caskets are not allowed to be re-used but must be recycled at a metal (or other) recycling facility. The Federal Trade Commission regulates a lot of this stuff, and pretty much all states do as well. Did you know you can provide your own casket? You do not have to buy a casket from the Funeral home that is handling the other services. Federal courts ruled that was not legal, and you can even buy your own casket on the internet now, and the funeral home has to le you-or your family-use it, and they cannot charge extra.

It fascinates me I'd love to do a green cemetery, but it's a bit late for me to start a project that huge alone. I'm going in the ground in a shroud in a green cemetery when I die. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

The funeral home is big bussiness, it's a place that we all will stop on by sooner or later.....

[@Conner-cj5zf]

[@robertwojciechowski1583]

Why am I reading all the comments?

[@my2kidsism]

This is a job I couldn't have. I would have a heart attack & die right there if someone's eyes poped open while I'm working on them like he just said.

[@dbzgal04]

The funeral industry definitely isn't for everyone.

[@heiseyrnc]

it's not for everyone. I have been working for one for 6 months now and there are weird moments. You need nerves of steel sometimes.

[@Mattea68]

It's way cheaper, and most people dont like the idea of rotting in a casket

[@marilynwillett804]

I think it's disrespectful to the body., even though the body is a temple, if you're saved.

[@AwesomeAlexAdam]

So Marilyn what your saying is that if your not saved your body is not a temple Is that correct

[@obscured9414]

@@AwesomeAlexAdam dont listen to these high horse religious nutjobs. If ur saved ur body is a temple. I find that comment so wierd. Some ppl think they r more worthy of heaven and r not sinners. Fuck tards. Just ignore it

I have been a hospice social worker but i could not do this type of work. Its good that we all have different skill sets.

Max respect for those who donate their bodies for medical training.
