Thank you for commenting and bringing your opinions to the table. But you still did not say anything that changed my mind about your chosen profession.

Are you telling me that you are charging reasonable prices or your services, for your coffins, for your cremations?

What is your average charge for such an affair. What is your highest price?
What is the charge of a cremation…tell us do you get all of the remains out? Do you burn more than one person at a time?

Do you sit there like car salesmen waiting for the next sales pitch to be your turn?
Waiting for the next victim…

Do you use that hushed voice in everyday life that you use on your prospective client.

There is a need for your service. I for one just do not need it or want it. PLUS, I feel that your profession robs the public for your services. Prays upon the bereaved and the government assists you in doing so.

Kellie the profession that you have chosen has made me indurate because of it’s business practices for the last thousands and thousands of centuries. This is not a new thing. You business goes way back in time. Not much has changed. The prices just keep going up and up.

And what about all of the recent funeral homes that have been caught rubbing the dead of their gold, burying the wrong persons in the wrong cemetery plots and even the wrong casket. or even worse just dumping their bodies anywhere. granted those instances are far and few between but it show you the caliber of some of your funeral directors…the ones who get/got caught.

What a nifty name Funeral “Home.” Now there is some great advertising for you.
Who ever thought that one up was a great advertiser…what is HOME about it? The dead do not live there. The director might…but that word in it’s self is indicative of what I am talking about. HOME…that truly cracks me up! Perhaps you should call it “Funeral Hotel” or “Funeral Inn” since they are only staying there for the night or a few days.

No Kellie, I have no positive feelings for the funeral HOME “businesses,” the insurance “businesses,” the “legal businesses, ‘ the pharmaceutical “business,” and some of the medical “businesses as well. They have given very little hope for human decency.

I am more than welcome to listen to what you have to say. Please change my mind. Give me something positive to go on. Give me some decency that I can grab a hold on. I welcome your rebuttal.

as a funeral professional that supports green burial and home directed funerals, I would like to add that every “body” is different and each will require certain kind of care that most people will not be able to tolerate.
Not all funeral establishments are blood suckers, people need to do their “shopping” and research. Ask questions, set up funeral arrangements, find out the local laws and ask for quotes. That’s a good thing about Baby Boomers, they are not afraid to speak up. The funeral industry needs consumers like you to speak their mind not bash their jobs.
