Hey, just wondering if anyone else out there is into the Funeral/Mortuary business? Im about to start my foundations course with the FDABC and would like to talk to other people in the profession :)

With cold hands and warm heart,

I actually considered this as a profession before getting into college for the social and mental health sciences. My huge introduction to it was the suicide of my brother, and how they handled the family so differently than when my grandparents had passed on. I knew I would have it in me to deal with the family's grief regardless of the type of death. To this day I am sorry I never followed through with it. I hope you tell us about your education as you go along. What brought you to this as a career?
