Did we strike a nerve Frank?!?

Saturday and the gloves are coming off.

The conversation sparked by The Joe Rogan Experience proves something funeral directors have known for years…

When the profession stays silent, the loudest voices on the internet fill the void.

And unfortunately, some of that criticism is earned.

Because yes — there ARE unethical people in funeral service.
There ARE funeral homes using bait-and-switch pricing.
There ARE providers nickel-and-diming families with outrageous fees and predatory tactics during the worst moments of their lives.

If someone is charging grieving families $100 PER STEP to bring their loved one into care, that deserves to be called out.
Period.

That is not transparency.
That is not professionalism.
And that behavior damages the reputation of every ethical funeral director trying to serve families the right way.

But here’s the part social media clips and viral soundbites keep missing…

MOST funeral directors are not villains.
Most are exhausted human beings carrying a level of emotional weight the public never sees.

They are the people answering calls at 2AM.
They are the ones missing birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, and dinners with their own families because another family needs them more in that moment.
They are the ones sitting at arrangement tables helping people make decisions through shock, trauma, and grief.

And while the internet debates funeral pricing from a podcast clip, most funeral professionals are simply trying to balance compassion, staffing, overhead, compliance, facilities, vehicles, insurance, availability 24/7, and the responsibility of a profession where there are absolutely no second chances.

The answer is not less transparency.
The answer is MORE transparency.

More honest conversations.
More education.
More pulling back the curtain.

Because protecting unethical behavior for the sake of “professional courtesy” is exactly what got this profession into trouble in the first place.

At As The Hearse Turns, we’re going to keep having the uncomfortable conversations.
Not to destroy funeral service…
…but to help rebuild trust in it.

So apparently offering families a Memorial Day discount package is “playing games with consumers.”

Meanwhile… there are funeral directors out here charging families $100 per stair during removals.

Every step.
Cha-ching.
Cha-ching.
Cha-ching.

Now listen — difficult removals deserve fair compensation. But if we’re going to preach about “integrity” and “transparency,” we better be willing to have honest conversations about pricing too.

Because families deserve to know what’s really happening behind closed doors.

Watch this one all the way through.

Some caskets are timeless and traditional. Some are bold. Some sparkle. Some have interiors that tell you everything you need to know about the personality of the person who would choose it. And seeing them arrive reminds us why personalization matters so much in funeral service ❤️

A casket is never “just a casket.”
It’s a reflection of someone’s life, style, personality and story.
