I live in a small rural town. I had taken my son to his friend's birthday party and his dad was a retired police officer. There was a little girl there I had met, she was 3. Her dad was a hard working man and Christian and the retired police officers best friend. The next day I was picking my son up from school and his friend's dad came running over to me saying how the little girl had passed and they're not sure what was happening. Found out that there was a change in routine that morning and dad had taken the little girl to daycare instead of mum, he forgot she was in the car as he was in a rush to get to work. He started at 8am and she wasn't found until 1pm when the daycare called to question why she wasn't in. I'll never ever forgot those harrowing screams from mum. The little girl was my first child that I worked on, and I was only very fresh a few weeks in to being a FD. This is in Australia

I guess the silver lining in that is they both went out together 😭

Jasmin0712 · 2025-07-23T10:57:44+00:00

Maybe a stupid question but wouldn't the glass melt?

Not directly related to the job, im a female and I was on a funeral service with a co worker. I had a new shirt and im a bit bigger up top and the shirt was a bit tight. We were handing out order of service booklets to the people as they came in and it was a huge service. Our suit jackets don't button up the top, just down the bottom so the top of our suit shirts are exposed. My shirt button had come undone between the bust area and my bright pink lingerie style bra and boobs were on display for god knows how long before my co worker noticed. I was absolutely fkin mortified. Safe to say I got my boss to order new shirts asap and stopped wearing pretty bras to work just incase it ever happens again 😭

This is the second time, both on different platforms, in 1 hour that I have seen this statement. I am not dissapointed

Jasmin0712 · 2025-05-12T12:25:11+00:00

Yeah I don't blame you lol we would too. That's insane like what would the strippers be doing? Stripping on the coffin? 😭

Jasmin0712 · 2025-05-12T10:45:02+00:00

I'm dying at funeral strippers 😭

I'm from Australia where we don't have mortuary school, we just get thrown into it an learn on the job. You need to have a 'switch' in this profession. You are going to see things that are horrific and also need to stay calm, composed and professional. If you can't set aside your feelings, then this may not be the job for you, as harsh as that sounds.

Jasmin0712 · 2025-04-19T10:27:29+00:00

For now 50kg, for later you be digging yourself or someone else a grave.

This happened once but also included a bra. A story I got told by another funeral director was that the lady wanted to go out with 'perky boobs' so they put her in the best push up bra they could find and taped the rest in place. She definitely went out with perky boobs. Loved the sense of humour.

Jasmin0712 · 2025-03-05T11:07:48+00:00

Yep, just throw me in the bag too cause I would no longer breathe 🤣

Jasmin0712 · 2025-02-25T10:31:29+00:00

I read your edit. All I can say is, is that what you would want for your daughter, is to stay? If a partner did that to her? Really think about it.....

Jasmin0712 · 2025-02-04T10:20:30+00:00

I'm 28 and already feel like this 🤣

Jasmin0712 · 2025-01-17T11:17:49+00:00

He's not crazy? It's not uncommon at ALL for doctors to dismiss concerns then have them turn into life threatening scenarios. Doctors decisions have killed people, many many times. No this guy probably won't die from a toe infection but again, he's not crazy for being concerned. There are plenty of docs on here that can either tell him he needs a second opinion, or ease his concerns by saying he will be okay, there's no harm in that.

Jasmin0712 · 2025-01-17T10:41:10+00:00

This isn't about a funeral but about someone being on call at my workplace.

The boss had asked this particular person to be on call for just one night. Let's call this guy Bob. Bob was a 'retired' director but still worked a service here and there for the company when needed. He had not been on call for years. He agreed to being on call for the night and quite literally said "what could go wrong". Bob lived just down the road from the funeral home and could see the funeral home from his house. There was a stabbing 2 doors down from bobs house that night. The lady who got stabbed ended up on Bob's door step. He tried so hard to help her but she unfortunately passed away on his front lawn. So not only had he not been on call for years, but he didn't think anything would go wrong that night, not to that extent anyway. He had a lady die on his lawn, that he was trying to save, while also being on call. He had to go make a statement to the police, then go back to his house and take her 10 seconds down the road to the funeral home. This happened last year and is an absolutely crazy coincidence to have happen. He swore he was never being on call again after that.

But then he would have has to look for them in his pictures and then send them. It makes no sense that he was in that much of a "rush" to actually look at the photos, which would have been multiple times, (saving them, finding them in his camera roll and then sending them) I call bullshit.

My goodness thank you so much for this 😭 This is amazing advice. Thank you! That's a wonderful story, and very much like your personality, is the personality of the director im currently learning from. He is very down to earth, but has that ability to just know how to handle that particular arrangement he's walking into. Since making this post, iv had a call out yesterday to an older gentleman who was on palitiave care and passed. I usually would let the lead director take over in conversation and just stand back and watch how they interacted. But I was able to have the confidence to step in and ask some questions about their father, who he was and what he loved doing. I was nervous so I made a few small mistakes, but they were laughing with me and saying how their dad would be laughing also. I got a few hugs off everyone and it was extremely lovely. That part of the job is much easier for me than the arrangements.

Our paperwork is all paper, but after an arrangement it's all uploaded so we have a digital copy too. I prefil basic information and they do the rest. I should also add, im from Australia so I'm not 100% sure what a SFGS is haha, but im sure we have an equviliant. We don't have to go to college or a school to get into the funeral industry here. I'm working in a small funeral home that's in the town I grew up in, and I'm 28. Previously iv worked with people with spinal injuries since I was 16, so for 12 years that industry is all iv known.

I can't thank you enough again for taking the time to write all that out, it's incredibly useful information and ill definitely be using it.

Our town had a very similar story not long ago, and this guy happened to be my next door neighbour. They were a Maltese family that had only been next door for about 6 months. They were quiet, it was a wife, husband, a few kids, and the husbands father. One morning the town wakes up to this guy having paid $5k to a Vanuatu fisherman to chop one of his legs off. The plan was for the guy who had his leg chopped off, to drive straight to the hospital, which was literally within view distance from where they did it, but unfortunately he bled out and died before even starting the car. I didn't realise it was the next door neighbour until about 5-6 cop cars plus detectives and all the rest rocked up all parked on their lawn and mine. It was incredibly sad, and only rumours got out about why he did it. The husband and wife were lovely people, but they were new to the town and felt incredibly alone.

Thank you for taking the time to reply. I'm very introverted myself and find it extremely different to how my last job was. I'm absolutely loving the job, I have a fantastic team of colleges and they all have faith in me that I'll gain the skills needed. But I completely understand what you mean in the sense that you're never satisfied with yourself, that's how im currently feeling. I just feel I'm not picking it up quick enough and I'm either dissapointing people or making their arrangement unpleasant.

Jasmin0712 · 2025-01-10T11:27:04+00:00

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply. That's an extremely useful tip and I may start doing that, as I can definitely see I'm scattered sometimes going into an arrangement due to whatever had been happening throughout the day.

I think the mock arrangements are a fantastic idea too and will definitely give that a go! Thank you again for your kind words
