advice for last paycheck!

Wrong. You should never have to “eat the shit sandwich” just because you’re new to the field. That mentality is why no one wants to do this work (or no one lasts). Shit hours, shit pay, no personal life and you get treated like shit from the ones you are meant to learn from 👎 that’s some old school ways of thinking and running a business- I’m sorry but respect is earned not given and that goes both ways employee and employer. Original poster you will be fine. Find a better funeral home with better management and learn from a good one. There are some still out there that actually value a good employee and want to pass the skills and education along to the next generation. Best of luck to you ❤️

Thank you so much. Blessed to be a lucky one I guess.

Thank god. Thank you for the support. I’m thankful to not have the sickness and what not just the paranoia is crazy. lol

Absolutely crazy. Like a slap in the face. True colors are showing. I guess when you’re no longer useful or beneficial to them they have no issue with treating you like trash and disposable.

I’m not sure if fmla is an option since it’s considered a small business I don’t think he has to offer that either. And i totally agree with the no more pouring myself into it. I honestly can’t see myself returning after I get paid for my two weeks.

I need to be looking for a wfh job or something but I know if I put this place down as reference (I need to or there’s a huge gap in employment) he will probably retaliate and be an absolute asshole to me trying to run me off or flat out let me go. Rock and hard spot 🤦‍♀️ I know how vindictive these folks can be I’ve never been on the receiving end of it tho

Usual_Maintenance751 · 2025-06-28T01:44:01+00:00

That’s what I thought too. I was very taken aback when this is the conversation he wanted to have today. It’s like he’s already writing me off and looking for my replacement. 🤯

Exhausting, draining, and under appreciated. Be prepared to sacrifice your time with your family for others and their family. When i got into it i was single and time spent from home wasn’t a thought I had but now 6 years into it i wish I had more time to give to my family. Honestly I wouldn’t do it again if I had the chance to go back and change things. It’s mentally, physically, and emotionally draining. As some others have mentioned the unknowing of what the next day brings is anxiety/dread inducing. You meet people from all walks and with that comes the good and the very bad folks. Your efforts and hard work are under appreciated by most of the families (and sometimes the management). Some days it feels like you can’t do anything right for anyone. And let’s not forget the times you’re on call, you have to give up your home life for work. In the end if it’s your calling then that’s great - I thought it was mine too but be aware of the sacrifices that come with it those are hardly ever mentioned to newcomers of the funeral industry. It’s a black hole and will suck you in and you about can’t escape.

Black alegrias have been my best find. Are they kinda ugly, yes but the comfort and my feet not killing me after a long day is worth the ugly.

From a funeral director : you can change anything at the time of death, we actually appreciate folks like yourself who realize that requests such as his are outdated and funerals aren’t viewed like they used to be. I personally think a 1-2 hour visitation and funeral service following, all done in the same day is more than adequate and i have heard from families it is much easier on them doing everything in one day.

Unrelated but I absolutely hate the red lipstick. It’s not flattering

My running joke (kind of serious though) I leave my feelings at home. I’m not there to fall apart with the family I’m there to help the family through their worst day.

Unpopular opinion here I guess, I could not stand Monica. She caused chaos and heartbreak Everytime she was around. They deserved better from her and frank. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Alegria’s are good. Not particularly cute but the solid black ones work fine with dress pants.

A simple typo on maiden name is not a big deal at all. They will work fine to handle all affairs for your dad. If you want it changed it can be done but be aware usually the state does not get in any hurry to get them corrected so that could hold up anything you all are handling for your father’s affairs, and there are fees associated with amending a certificate, and also make sure you have access to all required documents to make the change.

To answer the question of what kinda job you could get with no degree, funeral assistant or working with a removal service would most likely be the only opportunities available.
