@JaneiR36 If a vault isn't used then the weight of the dirt will make the casket cave in our time and bugs could get. Vaults prevent that from happening. I have seen a disinterment once and the casket looked perfect, no dirt or bugs.
@PowerMan40 I knew someone would ask that
"Angel's Lust" is a myth. Once you're dead your blood stops flowing. Since erections are caused by excess blood flow to the penis, it would make it impossible to have a hard on. Sorry man!
@Heartisalonelyhunter I have never had anyone move, but they can make a burping sound when you are transferring them front table to table. We use eye caps (which are like contact lenses with ridges in them) to keep the eyes closed and the help them maintain their natural shape. The eyes begin to dehydrate sink in within 8 hours.
@melmelw03 Absolutely
We have a rental casket with a removal insert (the bed). When the service is over, we take the insert out and bury you. Wha-La, just like that! Some cemeteries require a vault and others do not. Ever cemetery has their own rules and regulations. 7 -

I do make-up and paint nails. I don't know squat about hair. When it comes to my hair I just run a brush through it and call it a day. Most elderly ladies have been going to the same hairdresser for 100 years and they do it.

@hali1 Each state varies on the requirements to become a funeral director and embalmer. In Tennessee you have to graduate from an accredited mortuary college, pass the National Boards/ State Law Test, and serve a one year apprenticeship.5

Has anyone ever knocked over the casket in one of those Jerry Springer moments?3
-
@ninerbuff Nope, but it wouldn't surprise me if it happened one day.
@_unsteady_ Who is Butch Jones???
@dbanks80 No, knock on wood. It would be a female dog to pick it up though

My sister in laws got into a fist fight at my father in law's funeral just a few months ago. Have you had that happen? Does that qualify as a Jerry Springer moment? It sure felt like one and was mortifying AF.2

Yep, that's a classic Jerry Springer funeral moment.

Are you responding to all these questions while you are working??1

Nope, don't care.

Yeah, I am. We are empty at the funeral home right now. We've had 172 people this year. The past two weeks we have been quite which is very unusual for this time of year. We usually have 2 -3 a week.2
