Many people are curious about what goes on behind the scenes at a
funeral home. Add a live-in family to this scenario, and you'll
Step Into Our Lives at the Funeral Home. Shh! Be quiet! There's
someone at the door! Don't ever talk about anything you have seen
or heard concerning someone's death outside the walls of our home.
Mourning families need to know they can trust our integrity and our
ability to keep confidentiality. For the author's family, these
admonitions were ingrained in the children's minds at an early age.
This book gives an insightful view of every facet of the funeral,
from the time a death call is received until the funeral is
completed. Stories of days in the ambulance business in conjunction
with the funeral home are also related. The funeral director's
role, the spouse's role, the children's role, and how the children
thrived in an atmosphere of death are shared with the reader. How
funeral directors cope with stress and how wives cope with their
husbands during these times are revealed. Years later, following a
tragic death, three people look back and share their stories of
moving from despair to recovery. Interspersed through every chapter
are stories and vignettes shared by many funeral directors
throughout the Midwest, concerning the lifestyle for the family
living in the funeral home and true incidents of specific funerals.
Some stories are sad. Others are tragic. A few are humorous.
Embracing faith, hope, and love is a primary requisite for healing.
Intended audience: General readers of all ages, funeral home
directors, hospice patients, mortuary students, and people who have
had a loved one die by natural means or tragedy.
