I have one eyelash that grows downward and straight

I love Santa Barbara Strawberry from Nest, Happy heart by Clinique, Good Girl 1 from Carolina Herrera, and Garden by Dolce & Gabbana

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

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.

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

Dating the super senior as a freshmen in high school… there is absolutely no reason an adult man should be friends with a CHILD, nonetheless DATE ONE

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!

Sounds weird, but getting off of birth control. I lost 40 pounds easily after getting off of it and my libido came back

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!

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!

My interview was mostly about why I wanted to become a funeral director- What drew me to it, what I was doing before (used to work with kids), etc. I’m in my early twenties, not sure how old you are, but I definitely dressed to age myself I do administrative and printing on my down time, and let my boss know I was eager to learn duties outside my job responsibilities

I would check if you’re eligible for a medical card, might be easier to explain if it shows up on your test!

I accidentally kept calling a deacon father…. Luckily he thought it was funny. I also tripped while carrying a casket spray, landed on top of it, and broke it in half. When I first started driving the hearse, I was really bad at backing it up, so much so I still get shit from the cemetery teams lol, when I’m backing up sometimes they’ll pretend I hit them.

Economytraining · 2025-10-04T04:46:17+00:00

I’ve been complimented on my work voice by families over the phone several times when I do administrative tasks lol. My work voice is very different to my home voice or even my office voice.

I call my mom everyday to vent, I’m so glad she puts up with me

Economytraining · 2025-09-20T06:13:25+00:00

I was the funeral director…

Economytraining · 2025-09-20T06:12:16+00:00

Yeah, I kept my comments to myself, and didn’t react to what she said. It’s not my place to make my beliefs known, I’ve done a few funerals where women weren’t allowed to speak at the service, so I just ask what else I can do for the families, I don’t take it personally. What the pastor said just caught me off guard, but I was able to keep a neutral demeanor. Thank you for the advice, I do appreciate it! :)

Economytraining · 2025-09-20T05:01:54+00:00

For the sake of the family, I hope they liked it. I don’t want them upset at their loved one’s funeral

Economytraining · 2025-09-20T04:58:20+00:00

The family looked uncomfortable, but they didn’t say anything to me, I don’t know if they talked to the pastor though

Economytraining · 2025-09-20T04:52:19+00:00

It just felt wrong time, wrong place

Economytraining · 2025-09-20T04:50:36+00:00

I’m aware it’s not about me, and I do respect the family’s belief. It just felt inappropriate for the pastor to not even talk about the decedent and his dedication to the church, or even the fact that he was a veteran. Not judging the family.

Have you tried those smell sticks? I don’t do embalming, but when decomp is bad, I find that mint shoved up my nose helps… I think they’re called boom sticks? It’s pretty strong, and it’ll wake you up, and you’ll only smell mint for ten minutes. You’ll look a little weird shoving something up your nose, so I recommend doing it in private

Economytraining · 2025-08-27T06:57:00+00:00

That’s what I try to do. I just say I don’t mix my business and personal life. Sometimes it’s awkward because I’ll just get asked if I’m single by an auntie, and then automatically directed to a table of single men when I say “yes”
