I was recently told by a funeral home director, and by a respected family friend, that I’m a terrible person. I’m sad, I’m depressed, I’m angry, I’m frustrated. This was just the first of many things he said to me. What I find most alarming is his exact words.
When it comes to funeral homes, we don’t know what a “terrible person” actually looks like. We only know how they feel, and that they usually have the same feelings you do. And we don’t even know what they look like. But that’s exactly how you should feel.
I’ve been asked a million times what I think about funeral homes, including the one I own, and the one my parents work at. Its not that I have an issue with them, but I’ve always been asked what I think about funeral homes. And most of the time my response has been “I hate them.
Funeral homes are the exact opposite of funeral homes. They are places where people go to be alone, alone, alone, as long as they can get away with it.
Funeral homes are also often the last stop for people who have died. They are places like the morgue, where the family just wants to go to the end of the line. They are places where people have to be kept safe from the outside world. They are places where families gather to remember and honor their loved ones. A funeral home is a place where the only people who are allowed in are the family, the funeral director, and the body.
I believe in the notion that death is a place that we just go to be alone. It’s very sad and it’s very lonely, but it’s also very important. It’s like having your own personal funeral. Your own funeral. I’m not sure what you mean by that, but I’m willing to bet that you don’t want to be alone.
We are so happy that we are able to be a part of helping a few families remember the lives of their loved ones. For those of you who are in a funeral home right now, please consider attending our services. We will be doing a lot of the funeral arrangements, and we will be doing most of the rest of the funeral.
If you’re not in a funeral home, that’s cool. You can bring some friends and family and just hang out around the block. Or if you want to go in and pay your respects with a funeral home employee, we have a lot of funeral home employees in our team and are hiring. We will also be doing some of the funeral arrangements and getting everyone in.

What better way to kick off a blog post than with a video? So we filmed most of our funeral video in a funeral home parking lot, which is basically the only other place I know of that you can do that on the east coast. There are a couple of disadvantages to this, though. First of all, because there are several funeral homes in the video, it might not be an ideal place to be.
