The Arts & Sciences of Funeral Directing 

Very interesting point of view. I have been a mortician for 20 years now and most of my kids were born when I was in this profession. I remember my now 19 year old son had tlo draw what their dad did for work. He drew a picture of me embalming a body, lol. Anyway, it can be a very rewarding profession, especially when the families you serve express their appreciation.

Respect of the deceased is most important!

obviously this wasn't very much real information on he full job description but I realy like this video. I am currently in the process of working towards my degrees in mortuary science. I will first be getting an associates degree in pre mortuary science and then will be transferred to the university of iowa to go to school for another 4 years. people never seem to understand just how important the job realy is

I believe one has to very emotionally mature enough to be a funeral director/ mortician.

i cant wait to become a funeral directer :D

The music played intermittently during this video is beautiful...what is it?

Stick to a family owned funeral home and NOT cooperate funeral home, You will be treated much better dealing with a family owned establishment........

It’s never easy to loss someone to young children

This is a great video to show students

funeral directing is a sympathetic and caring profession

After 27 years in the Funeral Business I never had big problems doing children is the cause was a natural death. It’s when life was stolen from anyone,that’s 5he hard ones for me to handle.

Since a majority of funeral homes are family owned, what are the chances I will get paid more for having a bachelors degree?

What college is this?

What state is this in

do anyone have a number to call this campus, please

SUNY Canton.

An Old Fd/Emb. do not waste your time! Long hours and low wages, YES The funeral homes makes the money and you do not. I worked 80hr but paid for 40!

This would have ended up a more impressive video if they'd spotlighted something other than the work being done on that skull. To those unfamiliar with mortuary arts, which is the audience this video aims for, it just looked like a mess.

How about we tactfully begin to approuch some discourse in our society about the overall practicality, or lack thereof, of putting dead corpses in a box with pillows and blankets- and then in a concrete vault- and then alloting them countless acres of relistate. Maybe there's a better, more economical/envirnmental (maybe even productive) way to say goodbye to folks who've reached the end of the road. Weather you have religous/spiritual beliefs or you don't- it seems almost mutually agreed upon that the body is just a shell and after death, that person is no longer there. The shell is only going to decompose and there's really no sense in all the elaborate bedding rituals for bodies. My humble opinion.

I don’t know why I end seeing this.
