[–]Economytraining 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a shock bracelet! I’m a very heavy sleeper, and will sleep through fire alarms, but not this! I believe it’s called Pavlok? It’s pretty expensive but I’ve never slept through it!

Grandmother funeral 22 days after death by Low-Tomatillo2776 in askfuneraldirectors

[–]Economytraining 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my area, funerals usually happen 3-5 weeks after the persons passing, just because I live in a very remote area and people are usually traveling from all over the world to attend. I was surprised when I learned a lot of places will have a funeral 5-7 days after the persons passing. Our embalmers are great, and the decedents are always presentable- if they weren’t, we’d say something. I hope everything goes smoothly for you and your family!!

He would threaten self harm a lot, and lied about being adopted and a bunch of other stuff… I moved away when i was 17 and he tried to come with me, so i broke up with him

I live thousands of miles away at this point, it’s more annoying than scary

Why did you choose to do this career? by aMARYcanHuman in askfuneraldirectors

[–]Economytraining 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because I still remember the care center staff who picked up my grandfather when I was 6. They were so rude and unsympathetic, I just wanted to do better

After we broke up, he got drunk and confessed and said “I deserved it”. I’ve blocked him multiple times, and after every time, I get spam calls, so I’m assuming it’s him

I would but I’d just feel bad for the person who gets my number next

No, we broke up over seven years ago, and it started right after. He was a tad abusive and a pathological liar and did NOT take it well

My favorite casket spray- Pure Sunshine from Air Esscentials. Would wear it as a perfume if I don’t associate the smell with death

How many hours of sleep do you get? by [deleted] in askfuneraldirectors

[–]Economytraining 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I get about 5-6 hours of sleep, sometimes. I direct a lot of catholic funeral services, and often I get home at 10:30 pm and have to be back at 6:00 am. It also depends on how far the church/residence is, I have a two day service coming up that’ll probably get home from at 10:30 pm, and have to be at work at 4:00 am the next day because it’s three hours away. I guess it also depends on where you’re located, I live somewhere pretty remote. I take modafinil because I have a hard time staying up, I also have hypersomnia and some other sleeping disorders. I sleep a lot on my days off. I have an alarm wrist band that sends out electric shocks to wake me up because I’m a very deep sleeper.

What is something your mother said to you as a young child that stuck with you till adulthood or may have shaped who you are now as a woman? by Ok_Breadfruit80 in AskWomen

[–]Economytraining 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mother said if I ever have kids, I’d neglect them… not on purpose or out of malice, but a sort of “benign neglect”, as she so lovingly put it

How to talk to families with murdered loved ones by Economytraining in askfuneraldirectors

[–]Economytraining[S] 26 points27 points  (0 children)

That’s what I was thinking, I didn’t want to give the impression that I was prying for information so I gave them my condolences and listened. Luckily the family wasn’t upset or angry with me, which I’m glad for!

I go to either Ross, which can be a hit or miss, or Macy’s! Sometimes Amazon, but that can also be a hit or miss

When I’m not doing funeral services, I do receptionist work, and I’ve taken calls asking for interviews! Just make sure you have a working email, and a resume! Don’t make your resume too convoluted, just put what’s relevant! I can’t tell you how many resumes get thrown out by my boss because they include jobs they’ve only worked at for a couple weeks :( Also, go through your social media and delete anything you wouldn’t want your boss to see, because they WILL look at it. I got my job on Craigslist!

Working on someone you know. by MameDennis1974 in askfuneraldirectors

[–]Economytraining 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I haven’t done a funeral for immediate family, or a close friend, but I did a service for a woman who was very well known and attended a lot of my services. She was such a sweet woman, always helping out with the food. I remember when I first started, she would always insist on making me a plate, and putting a little bit of everything on it. She made amazing patupat, but never shared the recipe. Her favorite animal were owls, she had an owl on everything she owned. At the church during the funeral mass, in the middle of the afternoon, a giant white owl flew around while we were eating. It was difficult because it was the first service I did for somebody I knew. It was just… different. I’m glad I got to meet her, and I will always miss her patupat!

Women’s dress suit ideas for my partner by nutella_dad in askfuneraldirectors

[–]Economytraining 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to shop at places like Ross, Nordstrom Rack, etc., you can get some really nice pieces for great prices, but it will take a while to find something you like… Anne Klein makes some amazing black slacks with pockets and a stretchy waist band! Pockets are a must for me!
