| funeral questions and answers: Confessions of a Funeral Director Caleb Wilde, 2017-09-26 “Wise, vulnerable, and surprisingly relatable . . . funny in all the right places and enormously helpful throughout. It will change how you think about death.” —Rachel Held Evans, New York Times–bestselling author of Searching for Sunday We are a people who deeply fear death. While humans are biologically wired to evade death for as long as possible, we have become too adept at hiding from it, vilifying it, and—when it can be avoided no longer—letting the professionals take over. Sixth-generation funeral director Caleb Wilde understands this reticence and fear. He had planned to get as far away from the family business as possible. He wanted to make a difference in the world, and how could he do that if all the people he worked with were . . . dead? Slowly, he discovered that caring for the deceased and their loved ones was making a difference—in other people’s lives to be sure, but it also seemed to be saving his own. A spirituality of death began to emerge as he observed the family who lovingly dressed their deceased father for his burial; the nursing home that honored a woman’s life by standing in procession as her body was taken away; the funeral that united a conflicted community. Through stories like these, told with equal parts humor and poignancy, Wilde’s candid memoir offers an intimate look into the business of death and a new perspective on living and dying. “Open[s] up conversations about life’s ultimate concerns.” —The Washington Post “As a look behind the closed doors of the death industry, as well as a candid exploration of Wilde’s own faith journey, this book is fascinating and compelling.” —National Catholic Reporter “[A] stunner of a debut.” —Rachel Held Evans, author of Inspired |

| funeral questions and answers: What to Know Before You Go Scott a Mueller, 2012-11-01 Very often, when the subject of funerals comes up, the direction of the conversation tends to lead people to discuss what they would want for their own funeral. “I just want a big party,” “I’d really like Father Patrick to perform the Mass,” “I want to be buried in my Vikings jersey.” People frequently have very specific wishes that never become more concrete than being briefly mentioned in these conversations. It is amazing how a little bit of thought and planning now can save you or your survivors so much worry and anxiety when the time of need comes. You can use the information in this book to help you make educated decisions about exactly what you want when the time of need comes for your family. As a second-generation funeral director for Mueller Memorial, Scott Mueller has been around the funeral profession his entire life. In that time he has been asked many questions about what goes into a funeral, why we need funerals, and how to make a funeral a meaningful and personalized tribute to a beloved family member or friend. By the end of this book, you will be better informed about what you want from the ceremonies and celebrations that can surround a death. From the functional to the frivolous you’ll get the answers you need to for a memorable funeral. |
| funeral questions and answers: From Here to Eternity: Traveling the World to Find the Good Death Caitlin Doughty, 2017-10-03 A New York Times and Los Angeles Times Bestseller “Doughty chronicles [death] practices with tenderheartedness, a technician’s fascination, and an unsentimental respect for grief.” —Jill Lepore, The New Yorker Fascinated by our pervasive fear of dead bodies, mortician Caitlin Doughty embarks on a global expedition to discover how other cultures care for the dead. From Zoroastrian sky burials to wish-granting Bolivian skulls, she investigates the world’s funerary customs and expands our sense of what it means to treat the dead with dignity. Her account questions the rituals of the American funeral industry—especially chemical embalming—and suggests that the most effective traditions are those that allow mourners to personally attend to the body of the deceased. Exquisitely illustrated by artist Landis Blair, From Here to Eternity is an adventure into the morbid unknown, a fascinating tour through the unique ways people everywhere confront mortality. |

| funeral questions and answers: The Teacher's Funeral Richard Peck, 2006-11-21 If your teacher has to die, August isn't a bad time of year for it, begins Richard Peck's latest novel, a book full of his signature wit and sass. Russell Culver is fifteen in 1904, and he's raring to leave his tiny Indiana farm town for the endless sky of the Dakotas. To him, school has been nothing but a chain holding him back from his dreams. Maybe now that his teacher has passed on, they'll shut the school down entirely and leave him free to roam. No such luck. Russell has a particularly eventful season of schooling ahead of him, led by a teacher he never could have predicted-perhaps the only teacher equipped to control the likes of him: his sister Tansy. Despite stolen supplies, a privy fire, and more than any classroom's share of snakes, Tansy will manage to keep that school alive and maybe, just maybe, set her brother on a new, wiser course. |

| funeral questions and answers: My Funeral, My Way Angela Hope De Simone, 2014-05-14 Whose funeral is it, anyway? Why, it's yours, of course! Death is one topic that many people feel dreadfully uncomfortable discussing. Planning a funeral, burial, or service for a loved one can be devastating. I believe that the attendees at a funeral, burial, or service deserve to learn about the life and character of the deceased. Wouldn't you want everyone who attended your funeral, burial, or services to know what an amazing person you were? Wouldn't you like them to walk away with more than just tears and sadness? How about if they learned more about your hobbies and interests? What if they discovered that you rescued animals, loved children, loved a particular sport, or enjoyed books, traveling, and classical music? What about the awards you received, the offices you held, the organizations in which you were affiliated. I believe that if your service was personalized, family and guests who attended might have a more intimate experience and leave with an everlasting impression of you and your life. That's why I've created My Funeral, My Way: A Journal for Those Who Would Like to Assist in Planning Their Own Funeral. REVIEWS I found My Funeral, My Way to be a wonderful resource for families dealing with loss. How many times have I heard, What would Mom have wanted? or What would Dad have wanted? By keeping this journal, family members won't have to answer those questions, the questions are answered for them. -Carl Goldstein Goldsteins' Rosenberg Raphael-Sacks Inc. Funeral Home Southampton, PA This book is a useful tool for aging individuals as well as en- tire families. As a nurse, I am often witness to uncertain med- ical outcomes among my patients. This book allows some sense of control at a time when many feel helpless. It is an ex- cellent resource for patients and a concept long overdue. I would recommend this book without hesitation. -Kathleen Bickings, RN My Funeral, My Way is an amazing, easy-to-follow guide for people approaching later life or end of life, to record their gen- eral wishes succeeding death. It is extremely user friendly, and is written with a warm, welcoming tone which creates comfort. This could serve as a great initial conversation piece among mourning family members. -Amy Keiper-Shaw LCSW, QCSW, GC-C Manager of Family Services Chandler Hall Health Services 99 Barclay St. Newtown, PA About the Author Angela Angel Hope De Simone was born and raised in the far Northeast section of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, into a family of fifteen. She's the youngest child in a baker's dozen-which includes five brothers and seven sisters, all of whom assisted in her upbringing. Ms. De Simone attended Pierce Junior College, located in Philadelphia, where she received her associ- ate's degree in business, and met her husband. After working in the business industry for over eight years, she decided to pursue her dream of helping others by becom- ing a licensed massage therapist. She has been practicing massage therapy for eighteen years. She currently resides in Newtown, Pennsylvania, with her husband, Chicky, and two children, Alyssa and Domenic. Angel is a journal junkie-been keeping one since she was seven. In her free time she loves antiquing, and arts & crafts. Her specialty is carving inspirational words Angela Hope De Simone and sayings into chairs, mirrors, etc. She has an ETSY page where you can see and purchase her original art- work! Her favorite beach destination is Cape May. And she is known in her circle of friends for her punctuality. Angel is a very spiritual person. She owns a sixteen-year- old cat, Belle, and Denise-a retired race dog, a grey- hound, that she personally rescued. Angel is also a big fan of 80's tunes. And, yes, you will find most of this trivia, that is unique to Angel, decorating the pages of her very own Funeral Journal. This is Angel De Simone's first book. |

| funeral questions and answers: Being Dead Is No Excuse Gayden Metcalfe, Charlotte Hays, 2012-08-14 A hilarious guide to the intricate rituals, customs, and etiquette surrounding death in the South-and a practical collection of recipes for the final send-off. As author Gayden Metcalfe asserts, people in the Delta have a strong sense of community, and being dead is no impediment to belonging to it. Down south, they don't forget you when you've up and died-they may even like you better and visit you more often! But just as there is an appropriate way to live your life in the South, there is an equally essentially tasteful way of departing it-and the funeral is the final social event of your existence so it must be handled flawlessly. Metcalfe portrays this slice of American culture from the manners, customs, and the tomato aspic with mayonnaise that characterize the Delta way of death. Southerners love to swap tales, and Gayden Metcalfe, native of Greenville, MS, founder of the Greenville Arts Council and chairman of the St. James Episcopal Church Bazaar, is steeped in the stories and traditions of this rich region. She reminisces about the prominent family that drank too much and got the munchies the night before the big event-and left not a crumb for the funeral (Naturally some early rising, quick-witted ladies from the church saved the day, so the story demonstrates some solutions to potential entertaining disasters!). Then there was the lady who allocated money to have Home on the Range sung at the service, and the family that insisted on a portrait of their mother in her casket, only to refuse to pay for it on the grounds that Mama looks so sad. Each chapter ends with an authentic southern recipe that will come in handy if you plan to die tastefully, including Boiled Bourbon Custard; Aunt Hebe's Coconut Cake; Pickled Shrimp; Homemade Mayonnaise; and Homemade Rolls. |

The handbook for how to respond in an appropriate way when someone dies—no matter what their faith or denomination. Few of us are ever prepared for the loss of a relative, friend or colleague.

| funeral questions and answers: Step Into Our Lives at the Funeral Home Jo Michaelson, Dale A Lund, 2017-07-05 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. |

| funeral questions and answers: The Undertaker's Wife Dee Oliver, 2015-03-24 On Dee Branch’s first date with Johnnie Oliver, a fourth-generation funeral director, she knew she was in for a unique relationship when he had to leave “for just a minute”—and he came back to the car with a corpse. Over twenty years later, Dee was still in love with her charming southern gentleman when he passed away suddenly in 2007. Determined to carry on Johnnie’s work, Dee earned her mortuary science degree, only to find herself no longer needed in the family business. So Dee crossed the racial divide in the most segregated industry in America and joined the staff of an African-American funeral home as a single white woman. In The Undertaker’s Wife, Oliver draws from her wealth of experience to provide candid and often hysterically funny advice on dying well and surviving the loss of those who have gone before. Her insights on the common ground of grief, survival, and the ever-present faithfulness of God (to all of us, regardless of our race, religious upbringing, or socio-economic background) will help readers prepare for one of life’s only certainties—and do it with wisdom, grace, and a healthy dose of joy. |
