All funeral homes should be like this one, this young man cares about his job and maintains such a professional manner. I am currently interviewing for a position at a funeral home near me and this video helped me understand so much.

@blackawana 6 лет назад

This fellow is so professional. I hope he has a great career and knows people appreciate his demeanor.

I live in Albuquerque, and when my father passed, we went to French’s for arrangements. This man handled the passing of my father and helped my family through a very difficult time. He presented himself more professionally than I could ever imagine. He knew what he was talking about, extremely helpful, very personable, and had a very calming personality. Very very pleased with my experience with these guys.

@janeray1273 4 года назад

I just want to say that I watched this entire 50 minute video. I was so impressed with the facility and the gentleman guide. He was very sensitive, knowledgeable, and organized. He answered all questions in a careful, sensitive non-offensive manner. I was especially touched by the rocking chair and his explanation of families spending as much time as they want and rocking their baby and also walking around the funeral home holding the baby. That’s so important for the grieving process. Also impressive is the emphasis on what the families want and giving them time and space to have private meetings to talk things out and grieve together initially. I actually cried listening to his comforting words as I could feel the care and love he has for his profession. This was truly amazing. I will no longer be fearful. Thank you so much.

The Young Director was very professional, smart and personable. This video helps to take away the "yuck" of preparing a funeral for someone.

@Giuseppi9820 7 лет назад

I stumbled upon this totally by accident and I must say how wonderfully he explained this process.

@racheldemain1940 4 года назад

I would want this lovely man to help me at the most horrendous time of losing a loved one. He's reassuring and Calm.

@KatieLee0823 3 года назад

I said the same

@SisNatz 3 года назад

Me too

@belmarmom 8 лет назад

Mr Miller is amazing. He seems so kind, caring and very professional. Some funeral directors come across as insensitive and mercenary. Mr. Miller is a gentleman, and it's obvious.

@dorisparker2917 3 года назад

My father inherited a small mortuary in a small town, and before he passed away he asked if I would like to come, and assist him with the daily operations. I said no, because I was afraid of the unknown. This young man is exceptional in breaking everything down to an understandable level. He is so pleasant, and a great consultant for this mortuary. He is truely an asset for this business. Wish I had seen this earlier. I may have changed my mind.

@goodgracious6364 3 года назад

I never thought I would be sitting here watching a funeral home tour with such interest and intrigue.👩‍💻. I would love to have this place send me out with dignity and in style! Apollo Miller seems like such a very cool guy--knowledgeable, personable and sincere. This business is lucky to have this man represent it. He deserves a pay raise and a promotion, based solely on this presentation!

@luvingg 8 лет назад

The respect for the "Baby Families" really touched me. What an added touch, providing rocking chairs throughout the funeral home, is very thoughtful and kind.

@JBthree24 7 лет назад

@sylviahambleton4676 2 года назад

Do you had a funeral home in Ohio????

@gotrane 2 года назад

Some people are anointed to do certain things. This is a calling to him, not just a job.

@AESG1010 2 года назад

This young man is AWESOME! Very knowledgeable in and passionate about the funeral business. My husband passed away in July and I wish I had seen this video prior to his funeral. I’d love to have had an item with his thumb print.

@HonRevPTB 8 лет назад

This guy is a cool, handsome, hip cat, it's so weird that he's in this line of work, he's so full of life!!!!!!!

@JulieR73 7 лет назад

he seems very kind and caring

@Crazy__Canuck 7 лет назад

HonRevPTB you need that type of personality I would assume. Have to be strong and chipper for the people going through some of the hardest times of their lives.

@omgomgitsALEE 7 лет назад

HonRevPTB How exactly is it weird that he's in this line of work? I commend him! Not everyone is into this 'line of work' but many who are actually interested in it, truly care for it. I completely respect that you may not feel that way, that is your own opinion. Death & post mortem care is fascinating, there's no reason to be afraid or disgusted by it, really and truly. We all die! This video exhibits a man who truly loves his profession & I respect that. I think he is very well spoken.

@bobbidazzler1343 6 лет назад

He's supremely professional and clearly very experienced. A credit to his line of work. X

@brendalaprincegooglenext9736 6 лет назад

HonRevPTB well he can't be dead 😁 morticians are regular people. The are just interested in motuary science. Somebody's gotta do it. It's just a job.

@USA-ul5cg 7 лет назад

this guy is very professional and courteous. I wish everyone was like him.

@bjg5275 7 лет назад

You sir are a truly caring person. I would choose this gentleman to care for my family member all day long.

@rimeje5 3 года назад

You are very beautiful inside and out. I was so amazed by the way you speak and the way you carried your self. My parents always say a person should be handled with dignity. A person live with dignity. You truly displayed the care for the dead and the living. You were truly made for this job. Thank you.

skylar you can do anything you want in life (:

@peggywalker9004 4 года назад

I hope you achieve your desire to be a mortician. I am 76 and since the age of 10 this is what I wanted to do, work in the funeral industry, alas my parents thought it was nicer if I worked in an office. Then I married and raised a family. The closest I got was cleaning a funeral home once a week.

@JBthree24 4 года назад

Keep it up!!

@shropgel 4 года назад

@mslusippygirl 4 года назад

This young man is very knowledgeable of his profession. I've learned a lot just by watching this video. I'm going to be cremated when I make my transition and this has eased my concerns about the process. Thank you Gail and Apollo. Keep on keeping us informed.

@auntjosie756 5 лет назад

Apollo i found myself smiling alot during this funeral home tour. You are a blessing to your city and your employer.

@enigma2224 5 лет назад

That he is! 😁

@miaj94 5 лет назад

This is the best video I’ve seen on the subject. I’m more educated about what happens and what’s available when the time comes. Apollo Miller is an asset to the funeral industry; they should be proud of him. He knows his craft, he’s professional, friendly and approachable. Awesome!

@williamsalas9609 8 лет назад

Extremely informative. The facility is impeccable. The gentleman guiding the tour is a total professional. Many thanks.

@CourtneyFosterBeauty 8 лет назад

this actually was very comforting to watch. Apollo was very informative and thorough. I now have a better understanding of the "process" and it doesnt seem so scary anymore.

@jmortonburden6164 8 лет назад

This is such an informative video. This young man is a great spokesman for his profession and you can tell he's passionate about his work and very dignified and caring for both the deceased and the loved ones left behind.

@ruthshelton1924 6 лет назад

The young man in the video is very wise in his line of work & very kind. I would love to meet him. ( :

@Gemashke 8 лет назад

Apollo does not fit the typical Mortician stereotype...he's with it, smart, has a good sense of humor and is outgoing. I hope more people like him are going into the field of Mortuary Science!

@Gemashke 7 лет назад

I know five funeral director/embalmers at two firms. I didn't say that I believe in the stereotype that many in the public hold of people who work in the death care business.

@Gemashke 7 лет назад

Yes, I do understand...looking back at the way I wrote it the wording does indeed look like someone who is an outsider to the death care world (as you mentioned.) I wasn't on my "A game" that day...usually I am an incredible writer...ha ha ;)

@kamaharima3701 5 лет назад

Geshmake he is very well balanced and warm. I agree.. he is very rare.

@auntjosie756 5 лет назад

Geshmake Many Beautiful Woman are on the funeral scene today. They are Normal like Apollo. The Grave Woman from Atlanta is one, Kari Northy from Michigan is one and Little miss funeral from New York. They all have awesome youtube videos.

@msyellarose 4 года назад

So true. He has such a calming, and personable presence. He doesn’t have that weird “undertaker” look/vibe going on.

@SamSam-id9nq 3 года назад

Very informational!!! I can tell this young man absolutely has a passion for his work. This is very important for a family's loved one. God Bless you!!

@tedkreibich8584 4 года назад

You need to be commended Mr. Miller. You were / are so open and your explanation so complete unlike I hate to say that very few Funeral Director are. I speak from some knowledge as my relative was a Funeral Director for over 50 years until he passed. He shared so much information with our family making us all aware of the issues, etc.when we passing. Thank you for your video.

@demetriusmccray6744 7 лет назад

@kathrynhall1136 3 года назад

I saw this tour once before , and I have say I have a crush on this young man

@joypalmer7616 2 года назад

He did a really great job explaining everything even up to a body sitting up in the Prep Room.

@iTroyful 8 лет назад

This answered so many questions that I have always wondered about. His patience&respect was wonderful. He was so knowledgable of his craft which showed his dedication to deceased ppl. It would be really nice if ppl wouldn't make comments like " he was well spoken&articulate". Millions of black ppl are EDUCATED&work VERY hard to put away stereotypical epithets etc. So when giving a compliment please stop saying "he/she was well spoken&articulate" that's really a insult to blacks. Caucasians never use THAT term when one of their own speaks. At the end of the day we all bleed the same color of blood. It isn't white or black. Let simply learn to respect each other&learn something new&positive about &EACH OTHER. GREAT VIDEO!

@luvingg 8 лет назад

Agreed! I've been told my entire adult life, that I am, so well spoken. As if, it's surprising.

@Giuseppi9820 7 лет назад

Troy Katzenberg I totally agree

@christenaj1 6 лет назад

Mr. Apollo Miller, you are easy to listen to and very interesting! You are very professional. You know your livelihood~I watched in it's entirety 50:22

@randyallen9237 8 лет назад

Very well done. We should all be so lucky to have such professional service.

@motives88 8 лет назад

Very informative... I wish I had the home for myself and my loved ones! Makes me feel a tad more comfortable with handling death.

@miaomiaochan 5 лет назад

I'm super late to this, but I was thoroughly impressed by both Mr. Miller and the funeral home itself. It's neat that they have pet-oriented services and even rocking chairs for families of deceased infants, which are things that you probably wouldn't find in corporate-owned funeral homes, whose number one priority is not clients but shareholder returns.

@AlanaGurl 8 лет назад

Wow, what an wonderful video! Very informative, and makes death seems less scary. Thank you for all you do, Be blessed.

@RNRetired Год назад

This is the best presentation on funeral services I've seen. The speaker did an excellent job of explaining everything. Well done.

@marialuke3747 6 лет назад

this funeral director is very professional ,he gives lot of informations,,,,,,,,very good .

@prestinawhite3335 3 года назад

This gentleman’s presentation was outstanding. I am the Bereavement & Gift of Helps Minister for my church in Columbus, GA. I have attended many Celebrations of Life, Home Going Service of different arrangements. However, this video really educated me on the full behind the scenes aspect of a Loved Ones final transition. May God bless this young man with longevity and wholeness in life and God bless this funeral home businesses.

@GailRubin 3 года назад

@iamhisbeloved5879 5 лет назад

@bobbidazzler1343 6 лет назад

We have a lady here in the UK that attends funerals specifically for the food and drink afterwards. I'm sure she's not the only one. Great video. Apollo is a remarkable young man. A real credit to his profession. Well done him. X

@itsmeGeorgina 5 лет назад

You mean she attends funerals of strangers for the food Or that the only reason she would attend a relatives funeral is the food??

I plan on owning my own Funeral Home and this video and the tour guy gave me so much motivation to go for it and it also gave me information on some things I didn't know.

@carolyncrowelll4002 2 года назад

@rosylinhobson7780 2 года назад

His caring about the family is awesome.Please come to Richmond Virginia and train some of these funeral Director's to be above about the truth.To put it all out there truthfully.You need to teach at these seminars for all of the funeral directors in this area. You are awesome young man to God be the glory keep up the good work. And keep being honest in your work. God bless you.
