You do understand that the true affects after death do take place after you die and you face the consequences of the actions you took in life, right?
She's visibly more interested (in literally every single movement, mannerism, and scene), in SEEMING HOT and DIMURE than she is in describing what she does. This woman very highly fancies herself
Can you talk about testimonies of evil spirits and sigils in the mortuary? Maybe some dead people had tattoos
Unfair if we allow female to bath death male body (when the reverse hypocrit mainstream always b itching s3xism). Men with men too then, esp this is asian female who always complain about men mortician on female corpse.. Fyi many asian nurse photo touch nak d boy in an innap way during circum here
Mainstream & media always whinning if male bath female corpse, yet this female okay if her Male fam member's corpse been bath touch by female mortician, hypocrisy
“They haven’t talked back yet” girl i hope tf not
I always talked to them too. 20 yrs in the medical field, I felt honored to take care of them
Lmao
😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hahahaha same same gurl
We all need to ask ourselves why are we watching this
I agree
Because I want to be a mortician.. duh
Yes yes I see what you mean
Fun
@@shibbymiyah6614 lol
When my dad passed, he looked 98, he was actually 78. When the funeral home was finished, he looked like he was 50. It was an amazing comfort. He didn't look sick, in agony, scared. Amazing people
The opposite happened to me. Last week my dad died and he died at 47 his bday is actually been today. He died looking his age and the mortician somehow made him look older and wider in the face something was wrong with his nose too. It’s was a difficult experience
that must have been very disheartening, I'm sorry. @@antoniasmith8390
@@antoniasmith8390 that's devastating. Sorry for your loss. Love and well wishes to you. My dad just turned 50 this makes me want to appreciate him more😥 I'm so attached to my parents i feel like I'd want to die with them too.. no way i could EVER cope wity loosing them tf
😢😢😢😢😢😢
I can't say the same for when my mom passed the funeral home that had her did a bad job and that's why I've been thinking of going into mortuary science to make families have the experience you had with your dad.
What a strong beautiful woman. I had a stillborn son, my family spent 24 hours w his body then the mortician took him. She had her baby mortuary in her home. It was such a lovely place we dropped off his clothing. She sang to him while she dressed him. Everything was done so kind and beautifully. Takes a special person.
That’s devastating, I’m so sorry for your loss.
@@KingsMom831 Thank you for your kindness.
💕 Thank you for sharing.
Sorry for your loss, my grandson was stillborn,😢 I lost a son from cancer .
@@angeladorsett1159 im so sorry hunny, that pain takes your soul apart. Sending our love to your family.

Becca Donovan swear 😂🤦🏽♀️

she’s in a business that everyone’s dying to get into.
Virudshigaa P ha
I laughed WAY to hard 🤣
Nice!
Omg 😂😂👌🏽
😅😂😂
If I never seen this video I would have never taken the step to start mortuary school. Here I am now with 6 weeks until graduation!! Thank you so much you really inspired me
How’s it going?
congratulations and how is it going !!!!
Congrats and please Update us! :)
❤️❤️
It’s going great. I’m glad I finally made that decision and got it done.
My mom looked so beautiful in her casket. I wanted to take a photo but didn't for fear of judgment. I regretted that for a while, but don't now because I remember so much more of her than just that day of deep pain.
I have to say I adore your retro style as it suits you very well. You are a credit to your profession.
So sorry for your loss😞 hope that you are doing ok now 🙏 ❤️ 😊
I took a pic of my Mom
Miranda talking to dead body: Your hair looks pretty
Dead Body: Thanks!
Miranda: Aw Hell naw
😅
😂
Lol 😆
🤣
lmao
Is no one gonna talk about the fact that she has a cup literally labelled "EMBALMING FLUID"
@Angee Nix 316 people likes his comment so he isn't the only one..
So no one gonna touch it .. clever 😁
Typical sort light humor common to many professions if you ask me...like Plummers with Roto Rooter coffee cups
Angee Nix no I did too ur the only one who didn’t notice it 🤢🤮
Noticed and thought it was funny and clever because it’s related to her job? Reminds me of haunted houses with feeling boxes that say “brains” “intestine” “eyeballs”
I wanted to become a mortician since I was a teenager, but I ended up going into nursing instead (secondary to life events which would take too long to explain). After nursing for almost 20 years, I’m feeling so burned out and seriously considering a career change. I think it’s time for me to go back to school and follow my true calling!
Bravo to this lovely lady, and bravo to the maker of this short video. It was VERY well done. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
What are you thinking of?
I’m enrolling into mortuary school in the fall of 2023. I love this video so much! Very fascinating 🥰
I was just accepted for this fall 2022. I'm very excited.
@@ccn9001 congratulations!
Omg sameeeee where???
Imagine she is doing someone's makeup and then they just say"oh this isn't really my color do you have something brighter"
🤯😂
Oh my bad- *wait*
And Oop (edit:thx for likes )
*Wait whUut?*
I'm a random person Does this look like what you are looking for?
IMAGINE driving home with a dead body in the backseat I-
🤧and the scary thing is that thinking that THE BODY WILL MOVE!😵
Every weekend with my friends After the bar tour
If this will do or die challenge for me then sure but I have to keep an eye on the body if it moves or comes closer to me every time I look away while driving 😂😂😂
@@philfromthefuture i swear the best comment lol
Eminem had his on the front passenger seat
After nursing for almost 18 years and watching people transition, it really makes you think about the same things. This last two years of Covid has really thrusted all of this in people's faces. It has been insane. I am not sure I could do this side of the work, but I greatly appreciate those that can.
Hi how're you doing?
I feel like you could turn this into the coolest Netflix series of 2019
Lol I would binge watch it every day
There's a show about a funeral home business on Netflix called The Casketeers! I really enjoyed it

I feel like she could be someone from American horror stories.
Thank you!!
literally! they need someone like her. sally is my favorite from AHS but this girl could be right up there
I KNOW RIGHT
Haha
its like she's hiding something fetish
From someone who has lost both of my parents, your care and thoughtfulness mean so much. Thank you.
Same for me now! It’s devastating!
I really loved to watch this lady. What I do appreciate the most is her attitude while doing her job: her look is really awesome, she enjoys her own look, she is really committed, humble and nice. These is really rare to find not only in morticians but people in general.
I like how she enters the casket room like she's doing a Vogue 73 Questions.
I-
True
🤣🤣🤣
♥️
OMG LOL
When my ex wife died from the ravages of melanoma there was nothing left of her. The embalmer made her look so good and that's how my kids remember their mom. These people are truly a blessing. Thank you
god will bless you and your kids ❤
Rest on Mrs
I’m so sorry
I'm so sorry. My mother died from melanoma in 1987 when she was only 38 years old. Sadly, the funeral home did not make her look so good.
May her dear soul rest in peace
As someone who works in the industry. I LOVE YOU.. so much respect for the loved one. I'd love to work for s funeral home like this! The fact that the families can actually SEE the casket option is just perfect for me.
Doing kids is what stops me from becoming an embalmer, but I'm still looking more into it & getting more input from ppl
She’s actually inspirational. Everything she said is actually so professionally said & cares about. Hope she hasn’t had them deceased talk back. Damn
the topic:💀🔪💉
the energy:🤩🍭🌸
yes
No good reason!!!
Hotel:trivago
Her look is impeccable 💅👗
She's absolutely stunning.
"its not the dead that can hurt you, its the living." Well said!
I am 4th generation funeral home worker and my grandfather used to say this all the time. Personally, I've never had an issue with a dead guy. A living one? All the time
My mum always said, fear the living not the dead
You can’t heal what you don’t reveal
I agree with you and I believe it. The dead are innocuous. I am more afraid of the living people who can hurt, harm, even kill, especially when they do not possess of the love of Jesus Christ in their hearts. As a teenager, I have seen corpses in the funeral home, even in the preparation room. The dead were not so scary as some of the living people walking around.
They all say that line
Your community is extremely fortunate to have someone with your temperament , aptitude and compassion to assist them in their time of loss. Hope others in the industry can emulate you and recognize that that they need to be pillars of support during a family’s difficult grieving period. It’s a job that few of us can do .
I worked in a mortuary, this brings back memories. Most people will benefit from being exposed to end of life matters. We are so alienated from death in our modern culture.
She's acting like she's shoe shopping in that casket room.
😂☠️
LoL
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Agree! No piety!
She is enjoying every minute of it..🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
She's like a Disney princess giving a tour of her kingdom
right...
Oh hell tf no
um.. at least you tried.. your on the right lines but maybe not.. uh
She makes a ton of cash so
BAHAHHAHA
I considered being a funeral director.... the closer I got to actually doing it the less I wanted it as a vocation.... This woman has my deepest respect as she is very professional in her approach and presentation.... Thank You Amanda.... Your awesome....
It’s comforting to know there are people out there like her who are driven to ensure human dignity even in death! Well done!
Miranda on a date:
Her date: “So, what’s your body count?”
“.......”
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
noru noru like how many ppl you F-ed
How many people u slept with
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I like her. She respects the dead and doesn't seem to just see dollar signs and a body. Lord knows we need these people.
Lacey Noel I was thinking the exact same thing!
Ikr!
It says at the start that it's 16 billion a year.
@cerulean Konie...My Dad was making $150,000 a year before he retired. It's not about the money though. If I went into it, I'd make barely $40k a year. My Dad would do so many funerals a year at no charge or help people out anyway possible. He ran these funeral homes, but did right by the families. How can you overcharge someone when they are grieving? Most in the business HATE the financial aspect. I work in an ER & hate asking for copays! I grew up in the business. It's not as bad as you all think! Directors will work with you. My Dad did so many pro bono...he was pushed to retire.
It's not the morticians that are greedy bastards. It's the funeral home owners and directors. Avoid chain mortuaries. Absolute fucking vultures.
Imagine the lady pulling up to pick up your dead grandma comes in this 💀 1:35
what a lovely girl ! everything about her is so adorable. god bless her soul we need more people like her on this earth
My grandma passed on a week ago today. I took care of her hair,makeup,and nails. I didn’t want a stranger getting her ready. Never done it before on someone who passed on but I was told by family that she looked really good. I felt good also taking care of her. She took care of me in life so in death I took care of her.
Juliana Maio bitch go some where else and spread hate
Juliana Maio get out of here with that negativity 😒
@Juliana Maio Y'all be so damn weird sometimes. It's her fucking grandma and she wanted to serve her in a respectful way to give back for what she did when living. Y'all find any way to hate and it's so damn annoying. If you got a reason to why you submitted that, tell us. Quickly. Cause this is not what we finna do.😐
God bless you
Juliana Maio Go fuck yourself
Imagine if she saw a ghost
Ghost : BOOO
Her : Oh hi Jeremy
Ghost : Oh hi Miranda how’s life
Her : How’s your...opps

I was about to comment that😅
😂
I'm yo 1k
Seems like she cares about a person's loved one more than some of the people who are actually related. She definitely has a beautiful soul. 💜💜💜💜
I love her fashion on & off the job. She is a trailblazer and a true gift to the family's she serves. Bless up!!
I would like to do this, but the fact you’ll come across kids and babies would shatter me, all my respect to this lady!!
So right you spoke my mind
Somehow im not spooked by seeing kids get hurt even my little brother
Brescia yeahhh you sure you dont need help?
Brescia uhhhh she’s talking abt more than hurt
I totally agree
She found something she's good at and she's making a difference by pursuing her passion. I respect that.
Tako Yaki do you know you got so many likes
Ilse ummm... probably
Don't you think
asmr lover i think so too but maybe he or she didn’t
Ilse because they get notifications when someone likes their comment or when someone replies to their comment, so that's why I said that
asmr lover oh i don’t have that like thing lol
Thanks for your compassion and love in taking care of the deceased. Your warm and lovely outlook surely brings great comfort to their relatives.
She kind of creeps me out but I'm also fascinated by her aesthetic.
WHERE'S MY WIG kinda a weirdo. and she's ugly too

@@sandymurphy5867 ..come on now stop that shes awesome
Curtis Stapleton werido
Did she say “I’m heading to go get the deceased that expired”.... what in the blue hell
The word she used was decedent..(that yes,means a dead person)...but she added just expired..to mean was like not long ago,recently.
Mama's Kitchen that’s not a joke, doctors in the medical field use that term too, even when telling a family that their loved one died 😳
Lol
I thought it was strange too haha It’s a little more dignified I guess🤷🏻 at least she didn’t say “I’m gonna go haul a dead women around”
I remembered I went to the cashier to sign some signature for my cousin's burial and then the cashier told me that "oh tha one that EXPIRED?" i was so freaaaking mad and I literally slap the cashier lop
Thank you for taking the time out of your day to share your amazing experience and your education with me about being a mortician.
Wonderful, authentic, informative presentation. This young lady is so cool. I love her realistic and mature way of viewing things and especially how she sees the art in her work. My mother always taught me that "death is a part of life." I love that Miranda is living her own life in a way that celebrates her unique vintage style and that she is soft, sweet and gracious. I can identify with this!
I like her style. Looks like she walked off of a 1950s magazine right into modern times.
Destany ikr she rocks it
Margarbie Adams yes!
And she is sooo elegant 😍
More 1960's imo, no?
Destany ikr she looks great too
She's embalmed my grandmother and grandfather. They put on great funerals. Nice ppl. Lovely place.
it's always a good comfort to know those who take care of our loved ones are passionate about their work and take care of the families and people they are serving. She seems really nice.
I NOT SAYING SHE DOESN'T HAVE SKILLS IT'S JUST I DON'T KNOW I JUST FIND HER JUST A TAD MORBID
Thats great and all but i wouldn't want someone touching me after playing with witchcraft or my family just very disturbing behavior id fire her
@@carlosvazquez7437 What did you expect? that she dress and act like Big Bird?
sorry for your loss
I’ve been considering going back to school to be a funeral director and embalmer. I’ve watched your video so many times and each time I watch it I want to just go for it. Thank you for what you do.
❤ this deserves love and praise! Thank you for what you do for the families of the deceased x
This girl is so respectful and she seems so caring. I wish everyone that dealt with our loved ones bodies could be like this also
They are, most funeral directors and morticians are very good people, being people whos jobs are dedicated to giving families those last few moments with loved ones.
ur wrong and so r the 3.8 k who liked ur comment..ur all v naive
@@IwasBlueb4 I agree. I didn't find this woman caring or particularly respectful at all. To me she just seemed weird and a little full of herself.
Except she demeans men in the industry. She more than implies that men can’t help those grieving.
Would you praise a male mortician who suggested that female morticians don’t have what it takes to care for those grieving?
@Anonymous Humanbeing Why the unnecessary apostrophe? The word is "cameras".
She looked like she is from the 50's ... I love it❤️❤️
i will follow you on roblox my roblox name is raynalove1 and SAME!!! i loveeeeee her style!!!!!!!!

An she looks weird
She kinda looks like Jackie Kennedy almost
She’s awesome.
I just graduated mortuary school. Taking my boards next week. Can’t wait to get out there and help families out 🌸
I love her looks she's got that vintage pastel macabre vibe
Lost my father on March 28th. He was 97 years old. He looked like he was sleeping. They did a good job. He was wearing a Italian Suit. RIP Francesco Licata. You are with Mommy now. God Bless.
Linda Licata r.i.p to your dad! he lived a long life.
i hope he's in peace
😢 rip
Rip i hope
He lived a nice long life, and the fine italian suit tells me your dad was a very classy man! RIP Mr. Licata.

Lovely video. Refreshing to see someone who truly loves their job and puts love and compassion into her passed on client. Just beautiful!!
Same story as many here, my grandfather passed after a six year battle with the effects of a stroke, when he passed he looked very tragic, when we viewed him he looked like the granddaddy I saw when I was a child, my mom was in awe, it was her father.
It ignited my interest in this career. I have the heart for it.
"Sometimes I talk to them but they haven't talked back yet" I love this woman ♥️♥️♥️
That was funny but wierd. LOL.😂
I said the same thing to someone recently while working!
and thats psycho
She disrespectful

She’s like living in 1942 or something like, she looks old fashioned.
Vintage style not vintage values
DID YOU EVER find surprised WHEN dressing up dead body ALL OF A sudden THAT THEY was alive
I thinks THAT MY PARENTS WAS still alive WHEN funeral home came OVER took THEIR'S BODY THAT'S WHY I ASKED IF YOU EVER found THEM still alive
More like the 60s
Ikr lol
i live in lexington currently and have been thinking about going into mortuary science (hence why i'm watching this)
it feels like a sign..
You should be commended for your straight-forward yet sensitive look into the work you do, I have tried for years to get a mortician to be able to understand the basics of death. They are not used to or have the desire to see the reality of someone completely being committed to preserving the dignity and essence of their life and soul and how the body is the encapsulation of the entire history of a. Human being! Your outlook, expressed by your words, seemingly are an exception and for that I thank you!
"I might even talk to them sometimes"
"They haven't talked back yet"
Fuck
I don't know what about her but i wouldn't want them to talk back
Yet.....
😂😂
After "the first one talks back" it might be prudent to reconsider your evening alcohol consumption...
😂😂😂
I've noticed that all morticians have a peculiar fashion sense lol they almost always look to be in the wrong era
Most of them could be actors, they are so professional, well spoken, and dress nicely. It seems like they have a better view on life than someone who doesn't work with people who have passed.
i'm studying to be one and i'm a tradgoth / 80's goth lol
They dress not to kill, but to look creepy.
@@aaa-tm5kv I’m fixing to begin my college career this fall to become a Medical Examiner, but I’m hoping to get started working with death by getting a job at a funeral home first, while going to college.
They aren't but rather we are
She is an inspiration. Such a calm job. Rather deal with the dead then the living. 🙄
My mom passed away recently (not covid related) and as with the passing of any loved one, the grieving family and friends are overwhelmed with going through the emotions of their loss.
I was so relieved that the funeral mortician/beautician took care of my beloved mom and best friend with dignity and the respect she well deserved. She looked stunning. My dearest mom looked elegant and lovely. A real Grace Kelly. Mom always looked so beautiful and her skin was impeccable. We were so grateful that they made mom's last makeover look like a sleeping beauty.
She looks the part as well. She looks like she lived over 100 years and takes the life that the bodies could’ve have lived and add them to her lifespan-
They should make a movie out of this!
ok movie idea
She looks older than 30 also
jk rowling: "WRITE THIS DOWN, WRITE THIS DOWNN-"
hOLD ON MAYBE YOU'RE ON TO SOMETHING-
Nobody has said anything about her amazing style! Love the 1950's vibe she has got going on!
14kruitben yeah! Not everyone can pull it off imho
Yes, she looks beautiful
14kruitben her glasses are gorgeous
14kruitben sameee
I was reading the comment section just to find a comment about her style. She's gorgeous
I wish this were way longer! I would love to hear and see more from her. She's awesome!
Thank you for your professionalism and compassion towards the deceased and the loved ones left behind.
I feel like Netflix could make a killer series out of this
They have one called Buried with the Barnards
Watch "the autopsy of jane doe" its fucken crazy very underrated film
The afterlife
Six Feet Under was the best show but that was on HBO years ago.
You ain’t lying
The way she walks,touch's things and acts she like a female villan in a movie. There is something about her for sure edit..... ( 13/10/2020)thanks for the 693 likes guys appreciate
Maybe she is psycho
Nah just a goth

This has been the most beautiful vid I have ever watched on TH-cam. I too work with the deceased and their families. It's not for everyone and I take great pride in nurturing the angels.
I just lost my father & knowing that the folks at the mortuary would treat him with dignity & respect was paramount to our family. Ty for proving there are beautiful wonderful souls in your business. I wish love & happiness. You are doing God's work❤
She looks like she could have lived back in the fifties or sixties.
an old soul
It’s called vintage
Vampire or immortal
@@rubenpretorius3436 lol no she just dresses in a very vintage style
thats her style
'retro chic'
People are saying she’s weird but I disagree...she just has a job not typical to most that she’s passionate about🤷🏾♀️
I don't think she is weird, I just think she is annoying. She is shallow and thinks because she dresses like a 50s housewife turned goth it makes her special.
thaliasghost You sound miserable but okay.
Don't psychoanalyze strangers. It's allowed to have a critical mind and opinions. You thinking somebody has to be miserable when they do means that you probably are incapable of critical thought. See what I did there. Her work revolves around death. That's the least place where you should be into outward appearance. We all leave the world the way we came. Naked. I don't want somebody who gets her self esteem from her clothes and make up to deal with my dead body, simple. She's not weird at all.
Right It don’t even matter as long as she getting that shmoney 😂
thaliasghost you said "She's shallow and thinks bc she dresses like a 50s housewife she's special" then turned around and said "don't psychoanalize strangers" practice what you preach!
bro ive been studying environmental science for three years and this videos making me rethink my entire career path
Mad respect for ur job 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽👍🏽
Everything about this just seemed like a Netflix series already
sadly the closest thing I've seen is a show called "The Casketeers" and that's no where close to a decent series, its hella boring
A show called a hunting of hill house
Ryder lol I tried watching it but I felt like it’s more about his family rather than what they do.
They should make it one just on being a Mortician
“ I am not afraid of being a comfort to someone that most people would be afraid to comfort.” Wow that hit me hard!
I lost about 34 brain cells trying to read this

I love her! Her personality and style is so original and cool😍
Good video. I said my last goodbye to my grandad today and he looked so beautiful in the blue outfit they put him in. He died Monday 16th January and his funeral is next week on Monday. Xx
"Whatever happens should happen with respect and dignity " wow so beautiful !!!

👍🏻 you are right my friend prisha
Everyone gangsta till she sneezes and the corpse says "bless you"

Thank you. What you do is very special. Please always know
Your respect and professionalism will always be appreciated.
This looks like a scary movie waiting to be released..
Jovencita Bella it feels creepy!
Right! Like American horror story episode.😬
watch the autopsy of jane doe on netflix!
I would totally watch that movie tho
Jovencita Bella so I’m gonna guess you haven’t seen the autopsy of Jane doe-
She's basically a Tim Burton character and I love it
Linda Brzobohatá OMG FOR real
Yessss, now I want a movie about jt
Thanks for sharing this. My dad passed away 2 days ago and I found a comfort in this.
Thank you for showing compassion and care for loved ones
Is it just me or the female morticians I've gotten to know tend to have a vintage-looking style of sort? Like it feels like it's a requirement to have if you want to be a mortician and you identify as female. :P Not gonna lie it's a nice aesthetic to mix with the theme of death.
Edit: so many likes! Ty!
I think it's the nature of the job u won't know what kind of extra family member will show up at the funeral you wanna be as professional or traditional as you can without looking too much dollar sign involved. Kinda like dignity and respect all mixed together in a politically correct package and vintage is the way to go
I think it's just a trend! Its either the vintage babe or the goth chic like Abby from law and order! People also get into fields they feel reflects their personality or sense of style!!
" a nice aesthetic to mix with the theme of death." what the actual hell is wrong with you??
ZilloCars I plan on being a mortician, i am a female, and don't dress vintage lol.
Ikr
A family friend recently took his life by gunshot. The family wanted to have a viewing and I was COMPLETELY against this, doing everything I could to explain that this is the last image in their minds they will have of him and it will not be pretty.
They went ahead with the viewing and I could NOT believe how well the funeral home was able to make him look just fine. There was a small scar across one portion of his head, but that was it. They went into complete detail filling the missing bone and areas of his skull, adding fake hair that matched his, and making him completely presentable.
In the end, I was very happy the family went ahead with the viewing. They received the closure they needed and I am at awe at the work these morticians do.
I saw a similar case like this of Ronnie Mcnutt. Hope everyone is doing well in the family, it must be hard for everyone right now.
RIP to your family friend and also, may his family be okay☮️☮️☮️
I guess if that gunshot would've been from shotgun, filling missing bones unfurtunetly would be much, much more problematic. Anyway...from my perspectice it matters how person lived his life, not how pretty he is in a coffin on a funeral.
@@igorsmart8078 my grandpa just killed himself with a shotgun yesterday. Not sure how they are going to fix that...
There's always a demand for this trade. It's not for the faint of heart, and takes a special kind of person, that hopefully treats the deceased with respect.
I feel what people need to understand is...whether you feel its unnecessary or not, it might help a grieving family. It might help a parent see their child one more time or vice versa. Some people need this closure to help them cope with the grief of losing a beloved. You can call this job 'useless' or 'a waste of time' but its just not your way of coping with death and thats fine! But this is still a respectable profession that like it or not people will still choose because they want to see their loved ones before burying them. Totally fine if you don't want to be embaled or if you don't want a funeral in general. Thats great! But don't belittle the field that helps people overcome grief at least a little bit.
Also don't find a chained funeral home if you do choose to. I will agree some places will take advantage of grievers but almost all the funeral homes I've seen have been extremely respectful and extremely helpful with families and their finances and needs.

Am I the only one that thinks this is interesting and exciting? 😂
I feel like this would be the coolest Netflix series!
+king.josiiah.reaacts1 We agree!
There is a show on Netflix called The Casketeers. It's about a family that owns a funeral home. It's a really cute tv show and respectful.
Netflix show..The Casketeers..super cute tv show!
Way ahead of you...Six Feet Under...

She's like a long lost cousin of the Adams family
