Every week I’m interviewing fascinating people in our community, nation and around the world!
The idea came from a Facebook commenter who saw a video of me and my family floating down the river in Island Park. The person said I should turn the tables and interview my dad (Nate Eaton) - so I did and the rest is history!
Brian Wood is the owner of Wood Funeral Home in Idaho Falls and Ammon. He is the fifth generation funeral director in his family and Wood Funeral has been around for over 100 years.
I sat down with Brian to figure out what he does for his job and how he deals with death!
Here are the questions I asked him:
What does a funeral director do?
What happens when someone is cremated?
Have you ever seen a unique coffin?
When someone dies, what do you do with their body?
How many flowers do you see a day?
You’re around a lot of sad people. How do you comfort them and how do you stay positive?
What’s something we might not know about your job?
I learned a lot about Brian’s job. Watch the video in the player above to see our entire interview and you can learn more about Wood Funeral Home on their website and Facebook page.

What a nice way to explain cremation to children. Emmie keep asking questions. Not only are you helping children but you are helping adults to be able to explain this to children. Thanks Emmie
Emmy is able to open up so many people. Kids want to know these things so they aren't afraid. Adults too!
I don't even live anywhere near this news station, but the community is really great!
Such a nice man.
Omg I absolutely love this on so many levels
Yes! Such a beautifully inquisitive interview! Emmy, rocked it! 💕
@@miemartine7771 what are they talking about
🌹✝️ I thoroughly enjoyed how mature Emmy is, during this interview! Where she seems to be well aware, that death is not permanent in a Spiritual Sense. It's just passing on, to another adventure. 🙏🤗
Good job Emmy and Brian. That was a hard subject to talk about and you did such a good job. I will be cremated as all my family has been since I can remember.
Fantastic interview Emmy, well done. 🐨🦘🐨🦘😷
What a great interview, all answers were wonderfully elegant. Kudo's to both of you!
good info… As someone who just had to deal with figuring out what our mom wanted. She had partially preplanned her wishes- she chose a blue casket about 20 years ago, but never bought a plot. So, my brother and I had to quickly remember she didn’t want to be cremated, and then had to find a place for her to rest. We chose a mausoleum crypt at at one of the local early California Norte Spanish Missions. We aren’t Catholic, but she loved visiting the missions.
do your family a huge favor… buy a cemetery plot as an investment.
Emmy is so sweet and mature for being as young as she is, she definitely is going after her dads job ,watch out NATE! ❤❤❤😊😊😊Love from AKRON, OHIO
Emmy, you just keep getting better doing the interviews and you get to learn about so many things.
Emmy did a wonderful job! Following Dads footsteps. Brian did an excellent job explaining everything to Emmy. It was not scary for a child.
Wonderful interview. I learned so much.
Mr. Wood seems so kind & understanding❤️❤️❤️
Emmy, your personality is so adorable. Keep bringing us more great interviews 😊
Amen!
This funeral home owner Brian Wood did a great job explaining the answer to Emmys questions, I felt he was very caring in his way of explaining things to Emmy. ❤❤😊😊from AKRON, OHIO
Emmy thank you for interviewing this gentleman. I learned so much in this segment. He explained himself very well and your questions were wonderful. I am a subscriber of yours and I always learn something new with every interview. Thank you Emmy!!
Thanks Emmy, I learned something. Never to old to learn.👍💜
Amazing! Such love!
Beautiful content thank you
thank you emmy. old as I am, I still learned something new. hope this will also teach children your age so they'll appreciate life better.
Very good interview! Emmy is such a little lady❤
Excellent!
Oh my goodness-how sweet… We lost our oldest son very unexpectedly 2 1/2 years ago. It was an unaccompanied death in another state.
As a result, he was taken to the Medical Examiners for an autopsy. It took them 2 weeks to release him to a funeral home. Because of the time delay we decided on cremation and I wanted to bring him home to North Idaho with us in our car… This occurred in L.A. county and we chose the mortuary by the fact we could understand the person on the phone when we called to make arrangements…So three weeks after his death we received a call to come and get him… We had to find the mortuary using GPS. It was in a sketchy neighborhood in LA. There were bars on the windows and the door. The door was locked and we had to ring a buzzer…No one came to the door-even though we had an appointment with them. We finally got them on our cell phone. The director was a man we had never met before. He just had our sons ashes in a box on the entrance table in the foyer. His name was on the box- we signed for him and left…… It was the most awful experience of my life…I still to this day wonder if we really got my boy back in that box…. What I wouldn’t have given for some one like Mr Wood on the other side of that door that day….
Oh my goodness Bonnie, I am so very sorry you and your family had to experience such a difficult time in bringing your son home. I hope you contacted the funeral home in a letter to let them know how painful your experience was. It might save another family the pain that you have endured. If you did not, I suggest you do write them, because clearly it's an education in compassion they need.
May the memories of joy and good times be what you think of most often.
Wow that was interesting
A chip off the old block. Watch out Nate she'll be after your job soon enough. 😂
Oh a mortician, applying makeup and nail polish to dead corpses.......I would not be able to do any of that. The little girl is awesome and intelligent. :)
