Throw back- One of the funeral homes I used to work at had this old classic hearse. It was nice to look at but a pain to drive 😅⚰️

Every time I wear this exact outfit, I think of a family I served about three years ago.

A man called the funeral home asking if we could do a church and burial service within a week. His mom had a pre-need elsewhere, but they had a 3-week wait. We had availability on our calendar, so I said yes and got to work.

From the moment he walked in, something felt off. He was frantic, pushy, and I felt uncomfortable being alone with him. Still, I moved forward with the arrangements.

During the meeting, he stared at my chest and commented that I was “very pretty to be a funeral director.”

When it came time to pay, his card declined. Not unusual—but he insisted I stay while he called the bank on speaker. “I’m good for the money,” he said. “I’m very rich.”

Once the payment cleared, I left the room. Later, I watched the security footage—you can literally see me backing away from him every time he stepped closer.

The day before the service, a family friend came in five minutes before closing, demanding to see the body. The person hadn’t been embalmed and they were still in the cooler to be casketed the next morning. We didn’t have the staff to meet that request, and she left angry.

Not long after, he called my supervisor and said I was “unprofessional,” “inappropriate,” and “dressed like a ho**er” during our arrangement meeting. He demanded a refund and that I not attend the service.

I truly believe that was his goal from the beginning: to create an issue to avoid paying.

This outfit is not inappropriate. It’s not unprofessional. It does not make me look like a ho**er but I still think of his words even all these years later.

It’s just unfortunate that as women, your appearance can be used against you—no matter how qualified, kind, or capable you are.

Oversized casket vs. average sized casket

The blue casket is a special order oversized casket shown next to an average sized rental casket. You can see the difference in width when compared side by side.

Gloomy service day 💙🌀🤍

A funeral home can be a hazardous place! ❤️‍🩹
Here are my top 3 boo boo’s I’ve gotten while working in funeral service.

1. A heavy wooden casket lid fell on the top of my hand while adjusting a decent in their casket. This left a scar on the top of my hand
2. My finger caught on a loose screw when pulling out the extender in the back of the hearse to roll the casket out onto the church truck. This one happened my first month at a new funeral home at a service! I bled all the way down the church aisle wheeling the casket to the front. This one also left a bumpy scar on my finger.
3. This is a bruise on my upper thigh area. A 300LB body on a stretcher fell onto my leg when pulling the stretcher out of the van and the back legs didn’t lock properly. (It was a very old stretcher, the body was fine; my leg was not)

Which one do you think is the worst?
Do you have any battle scars from working in funeral service?

Rainy service day and I’m as tall as the standing spray 😅

Is the spray tall or am I short?🥲

Ever wondered how they get a casket into a high space in a mausoleum??

Well now you know!

A look behind the curtain.

The little wooden dowels are there to help the casket slide into the space smoothly.

Most cemeteries require the body to be embalmed and placed in a sealing casket to be placed into a mausoleum space.

Do you want to be buried above ground?
