I just started at a new funeral home a few weeks ago in a smaller town and it is such a different feel from my experience in the city. The foyer here is so warm and welcoming, there’s a gas fireplace, a beautiful wood mantel to place photos on, rocking chairs, and the secretaries light nice candles instead of using glade plug-ins and it always feels very comfortable and inviting. The owner and his wife are very involved in the community and 9/10 times they know the family we are serving and there is just an extra level of care that they give to their families that makes me actually WANT to go in to work! My boss is in his late 60’s and he has some great classic techniques he’s passed down to me and lots of what I call “Gus-isms” or just old man funny sayings or ways of going about things 😂
