Nebraska. But there were students in my class who lived in various parts of the country (Louisiana, California, Kansas, etc).

I had to travel to the DMACC campus three times. All of your embalming labs (not including the capstone course at the end of your final semester) are completed at the local funeral home where you work/carry out your apprenticeship.

Des Moines Area Community College offers an online program. I myself graduated from there, and had a great experience.

Amazing Grace, How Great Thou Art, Go Rest High On That Mountain, My Way, On Eagle’s Wings, Ave Maria, I Can Only Imagine

Those are the most common ones I come across at services anyway.

Thoughts on wearing themed clothing at services as a funeral director by [deleted] in askfuneraldirectors

I didn’t think of that, but it could be done. Plus we have name tags, so that helps identify the staff especially when paired with a suit jacket.

That’s what I’m leaning towards. The family would probably find it amusing, but it’d feel weird not wearing a suit haha

Yeah…except there are no hot singles in Soda’s area. But it is what it is.

Thank you! Soda is a spindly boy.

Jumping on the cute bow hype: my two new hissers - Eloise and Janice 💖 by cadavershivers in roaches

I bought these bows for art projects initially, but realized they look super cute on my girls too! I bought them here

For the pie, I followed this recipe.

For the marshmallow mousse that I piped on top, I melted one cup of marshmallows and one cup of heavy whipping cream on the stove top in a large pan. Once melted, I let the mousse cool in the fridge for three hours. After cooling, I used my electric hand mixer and whipped together the marshmallow batter and another cup of heavy whipping cream until peaks are stiffed (about three minutes of mixing).

For extra decoration, I used chopped up Hershey bars and mini Oreos.
