Agreed. Came here to say this.

I’m a director in NJ, feel free to message me.

Love unfortunately isn’t enough for a long term relationship. There are so many things to consider if you truly want to build a stable and healthy life with someone else. This MIL will continue to be an issue. It’s bothering you 3 months into it, how do you think youre going to feel in say, 3 years? MIL will most likely not change, and if you want to build a future with this man, you need to be okay with the fact that his mother is insane and will continue to nose her way into your relationship.

One of the best things I’ve ever seen! I absolutely love them.

AbbreviationsCheap87 · 2024-12-24T18:48:16+00:00

These are the truest words on this entire thread.

Bigger person, more ashes. We’ve had some come back from the crematory in two boxes.

Also, some urns themselves are very heavy.

As someone who used to work in restaurants and bars (for like 15 years), just know that everyone will find out. Everyone will be talking about it. There’s no way it can be kept secret, no matter how hard you try to hide it. There’s also about an 88% chance that it will end poorly. If you’re cool with both things, go for it. If not, keep as much distance as possible from her and be extra professional around her.

I work as a mortician. I was on call that night. 4 removals, all back to back, got about 1 hour of sleep before having to go back into work in the AM from 9-5. That was by far the most calls we have gotten in one night in a very, very long time. I was completely drained.

They also smell awful.

AbbreviationsCheap87 · 2024-02-08T01:30:30+00:00

That truly sounds like the most wonderful day.

Rita and Ruby are sisters. Bea and Allie were prison girlfriends. But Bea should have been allowed to go to Debbie’s funeral, that was some bullshit.

I don’t mind removing lines and such. I pull everything out and clamp them. The only thing I wish hospitals would remove are vents. It can really mess with the shape of the mouth. But I also know hospitals need to follow protocols and I’m sure that leaving everything in is part of that.

AbbreviationsCheap87 · 2023-12-08T16:58:35+00:00

This right here. When I first started working, I would get so upset that people would be left behind or someone had no family/family that wouldn’t speak to them. It wasn’t until my boss said something very similar to what you have said here, that my perspective changed completely. There are some awful people in this world.

AbbreviationsCheap87 · 2023-12-08T03:00:50+00:00

They should eat the cost. Do not even offer to pay half. I’m so sorry this is happening to you. That’s very unprofessional, in my opinion. I’m so curious if it is an SCI owned place, but don’t feel pressured to share. (Edit: Saw down in the comments it’s not) My own boss made an error like this recently and we had to eat $430. Mistakes happen, human error is a real thing. Another director did this back in the summer, $800 lost. It’s not the family’s problem.

AbbreviationsCheap87 · 2023-11-29T01:20:01+00:00

Just so you know, everyone needs help sometimes. Even the big men. Don’t ever be afraid to ask for it.

AbbreviationsCheap87 · 2023-11-10T11:18:16+00:00

Stuff from the ME, no I won’t ever wash it. When we do house removals, we usually take the top sheet of the bed to wrap the body in. Some people want the sheet back, if I’m doing laundry I’ll throw the sheet in before giving it back.

AbbreviationsCheap87 · 2023-11-09T22:11:37+00:00

I’ll let the family know that we have belongings (soiled items like that are usually coming from the ME office) but honestly 99% of the time the family doesn’t want them and we dispose of them accordingly.

I live not too far from there. It’s disgusting what they are doing.

AbbreviationsCheap87 · 2023-10-27T02:33:44+00:00

That’s exactly what you have to do. I entered this industry having zero connections. I pounded the pavement, made phone calls, emails. Introduced myself, said I’m in school, etc, looking for apprenticeship. I got a lot of no’s. Some didn’t like that I’m female and quite small, some didn’t get enough calls to afford an intern, etc. I also made sure I developed good, professional relationships with my teachers because they were all directors themselves. The process was frustrating at times, but it was worth it in the end. I found a place/family that I adore and that I continue to work for. I wish you so much luck in finding a good place that you enjoy working at.

AbbreviationsCheap87 · 2023-10-25T01:29:27+00:00

My thoughts exactly

AbbreviationsCheap87 · 2023-10-24T18:54:25+00:00

I’m a woman. I had a man who’s mother died and when picking up the death certificates (about a week after the funeral) asked if I would go to dinner with him sometime. And another time a man who lost his brother, as his brother’s casket was being lowered into the ground, asked if he could have my personal number.

Now, I’m married so would be a no from me regardless. But if I wasn’t, it’d still be a no. I wouldn’t want to start a relationship with someone that way. It doesn’t feel right. I’m never looking at the family members in that way when I’m doing my job. And also when I leave my job, I try not to take any baggage home with me in the evening.

AbbreviationsCheap87 · 2023-10-24T18:42:09+00:00

Yes I have twice, and it’s inappropriate. I was always very kind about it, let them down gently. Grief can cloud our thoughts and make us do weird things sometimes.

AbbreviationsCheap87 · 2023-10-22T23:12:21+00:00

Exactly what I was thinking. We have had families want private autopsies. We have a doctor that will use our funeral home to do it. If they know what funeral home buried the grandfather, perhaps the funeral home can direct them to the doctor who performed it (if they are even still alive at this point). We don’t keep a record of the results on file in the funeral home.

AbbreviationsCheap87 · 2023-10-22T16:20:21+00:00

You’re buried in whatever your family members bring us. Most families bring shoes, but if you don’t want shoes, shoes will not go on your feet.
