    Right now I am a SAHM, but ordinarily, Funeral Director/Embalmer, Certified Nursing Assistant, and currently working on my Bachelors in Elementary Education.

    Tell me more about the funeral director/embalmer.... that's always interested me!
    Interesting

    What is it you want to know....lol

    What are your responsibilities? Describe a typical day to me! :)


    Hmmmm Typical day? There really isnt any such thing in the funeral home...lol. I always keep in mind that I NEVER KNOW what awaits me when I come in to work in the morning, could be anything! I make removals from ppls homes, hospitals, nursing homes, etc. I also do accounting, bookkeeping, talking to families, making all those pretty little cards you guys fight over at every service, cause there are never enough. I make rememberance DVDs, sell insurance, I am a notary, clean and inspect caskets when they come in, I also embalm people and dress them, do hair and make-up(when necessary) and put them in their caskets. I sometimes close the casket at the start of the service, or I move that big casket spray, so someone else can close it. I work with cemetery people to make sure tents are set up on time and "holes are dug" on time. I do A LOT. and when no one dies, I usually spend the day cleaning, ordering supplies and washing the cars to get ready for the next people who come in. But I'll tell ya, when people are in the anger stage of the grieving process, or tempers flare, it is NOT a job for the easily offended, or emotional types....people can be very vengeful and hateful at times. And it's usually over something stupid. I don't work at night, we have guys who make removals for us at night, so I never know what the day will be like til I hit the embalming room door and take a peek. Hope this answers some of your curiosities.:wink:

    Software consultant in transport & logistics. Which means I travel a lot and stare at computer screens, people and cats until they do what I want. Never works with cats.

    Also made the above because, frankly, no one cares what I do.

    Since I lost my dispatching job I am a school bus driver, and CDL instructor. We sell International buses and trucks so I also get to deliver buses and trucks to states from Ohio to New Jersey and as far north as Maine. Thats the part I love, new car smell, kickin radio and no kids. I also do Equine sports massage therapy.

    Great job! I used to be a scientist at Oxbridge but later changed to business. I guess you are having the PhD syndrome if you are procrastinating! Have to visit Liverpool sometime!

    Unemployed because of permanent birth defect/physical handicap. Trying to figure things out to do SOMETHING to earn more money, since being on the dole is a drag and not enough to live an acceptable lifestyle.
