Viewer Questions From Across the Country: Rhode Island

[@thefrenchgardener1865]

As a retired parish priest, I can honestly say that throughout my 40 years in parish ministry, the funeral directors I have met and worked with saw their jobs as vocations and they were very much people-service oriented. They are some of the nicest people I have ever met. I even invited a few in every couple of years to do a seminar for parishioners. Then some nasty people accused me of getting "kickbacks" so I told them to drop dead which is like handing our business cards! LOL

[@KaritheMortician]

Dang!

[@micheleberara2842]

That's one of the many things I just love about you is your honesty and your passion for helping not only the decedent, but the family as well. Unfortunately we do see some individuals in the funeral service business that try to get the most they can out of a family. I'm certain this occurs in all types of businesses. It by no means should imply that all funeral homes are like this.

[@KaritheMortician]

Thanks so much!

[@juliehoffman4568]

I was at the grave site where the family was burying a 14 year old relative who had liver failure. At the end, when most families leave, everyone stuck around. The mom & dad, all the priests and family members lowered the casket into the ground and took turns shoveling dirt into the grave. It was extremely beautiful and amazing!

[@KaritheMortician]

Very touching!

[@karladuncan4026]

I have a lot of respect for you. You're very intelligent in everything you do. Your parents must be proud of you. I have always been intrigued when it comes to this. Thank you for satisfying my curiosities. God Bless!

[@KaritheMortician]

I appreciate that

[@kennmills4382]

I agree with how when people cast negative comments toward a profession, that one can’t help but to feel dismayed, as you are right, when you are a part of a group, negativity can really play on ones emotions. Good on you for maintaining your professionalism and your honesty. 🌹

The one negative I found with funeral homes was with my father’s funeral. He was laid out in the funeral home and then cremated. To lay his body in a casket for the 2hr viewing costs $1800. (Again, not buried in the casket just borrowing the casket that was used solely for a viewing). When I was told the price my jaw dropped to the floor. What could possibly justify that price? That’s why people think funeral homes are ripoffs.

[@KaritheMortician]

The shell of the casket is a rental and the interior you purchased. It was cremated with him. So the rental is part of the price and the interior is part of the price.

[@scharf74]

Sounds like they embalmed him too. That’s $1000 in my area...

[@stevecooper2873]

@@KaritheMortician It is my understanding that caskets can not be reused. The "liner" angle seems interesting.

[@triplej2002]

Hi Kari! I asked some questions a long time ago and I was so happy that you answered them in a video, but I have a few more. Excuse the long post! The first is, have you ever heard of a deceased person writing a letter before their death that was meant for their mortician? For example, I've always wondered who will be the person to last deal with my body and it's weird to think about them being one of the last people on the planet to see me. I've often wondered about writing a letter to that person and having my family give it to them. I would make it humorous and tell them that I'm thrilled to finally meet them and that I'm sorry they have to deal with my feet that haven't had a pedicure in three weeks, my severe mommy belly, and that they have to tame my frizzy hair. lol I want them to know that I've thought about them frequently as I've gone through life! :) My next question is, have you ever had a family member that was mentioned in an estranged family member's obituary that didn't want to be in it (my husband recently was in this position)? Can they have themselves omitted from it or have it "retracted"? Next, do you feel that your profession, seeing all sorts of causes of death, makes you more cautious going through life or does it make you want to take advantage of every moment and live life to the fullest? I had another question in mind this morning, but have since forgotten it. I will post it as well if I can remember it. Thanks so much!

[@triplej2002]

I guess on the topic of estranged family members, do you know of any instances where a death has brought family back together and they've been able to forgive each other and heal?

[@KaritheMortician]

I would love if someone wrote me a letter!!! I would think that was amazing. Yeah an obituary is completely up to the family and can really say whatever they want. Yes I watch out for all sorts of death scenarios that other people never think of.

[@KaritheMortician]

I usually am not around for that part afterwards. I know that during funerals I have seen a lot of people come back together. My cousin and his dad had not spoken for many years and follow a funeral they did reconnect

My dad drove for a livery company that rented hearses and limos to funeral homes that did not have their own or needed an extra one for the day. Strangest story he heard was when a man called the funeral home and said his father had passed and they wanted the same type service as they had for their mother a few years earlier. The funeral director responded saying he would be happy to provide the service/facilities except that there was still a large outstanding balance due from the mother's funeral. The man was surprised and got somewhat angry saying that he would see to it that the balance and new charges would be handled promptly. The issue was it was a gypsy/traveler family and the brothers gave the funds to a family member who kept the money. Later that day, the man arrived at the funeral home and counted off hundred dollar bills paying off both parts of the bill. At the funeral one of the brothers had a new cast on his arm and walked with a cane. Those funerals can last for several days with some people staying overnight with the deceased in the funeral home.

Biggest thing people can do is learn your rights prior to going to a funeral home. Plan ahead and you don’t get taken advantage of. Many people are honest, but you never know. Protect yourself. Goes for any professional you deal with.

[@toyman9642]

The cost of funerals is forcing many to choose direct cremation. In Ontario, Canada, direct cremation at the majority of funeral homes or independent cremation firms is about $2,000. This includes cremation and all necessary paperwork.

[@KaritheMortician]

The cost of everything drives the pricing so its purely economic system right now too

[@kevinmitchell8650]

Great presentation!!! You answered honestly about a difficult question. Coming to grips with mortality imo must begin with faith. Life is wonderful but distracting in that regard. I have come to grips with this. The greater part of our habitation is hidden from view. That part uses this body to interface in this realm. When gone that which remains is but a reminder that as scripture so emphatically states. Our life doesn’t consist of things. This body is dependent on the life within. So we mourn the separation.

[@KaritheMortician]

Thank you!

Hello Kari, I never made it to this live but I do however have a question and it's one I've always wanted to ask a funeral director. My question is..

I feel the same way Kari, my babies are my world. I am terrified like what , if I miss their wedding, being there for childbirth, being a grandma one day. My life has completely been centered around them and their needs. It is a little unhealthy on my part, but I love being a mom, the teaching, nurturing, some days I say, what did I ever do to deserve this :) On another note, we have traveled extensively. My dad got a world map to put on the wall and put little stick pins for every state and country they traveled. The ones with the little round heads. And since one child has been to a few more, they are color coded for each child. I just wanted to say I can totally relate to your fear about leaving the kids, @Kari the Mortician thanks for sharing

Rhode Island is my home state! Now I live in Dixie and miss New England. Here is a true cemetery story from R.I. Back in the early 90s I researched my family history and took all the way back to the 1600s. I went to a lot of cemeteries for the research. One day my friend and I were poking around a modern cemetery and I happened to notice a sunken grave. Shortly later I saw a squirrel run past me and up a tree. a moment later something big and heavy dropped out of the tree and I looked and saw it was a bone! My friend and I just looked at each other and niether of us wanted to pick it up but I finally did. I was convinced that the squirrel had got into that sunken grave. I then took it home and showed to my brother who was in medical school. It said it was not human but most likely a deer. We had a good but spooky laugh. Another time my friend and I were in another graceyard waiting for "the guy" to come to his office so we could see where the grave was we were looking for. We then saw him driving up and a laege tree branch fell on top of his car just as he drove under it. Spooky!
