Loving a Funeral Director is Hard.

I suspect it is hard to love a funeral director. We get up early, we come home late or may have night shifts and are too tired to cook. We miss weekend events, holidays, birthdays. We don't get too excited over a minor cough or cold, we have seen far worse. We don’t always want to talk when we come home, we have talked all day. We don't always want to move when we come home, we have moved all day. It may seem that we have left all of our caring, our heart, and our love at work, and have come home to you empty, we probably have. I guess it is hard to love a funeral director, but know this: we still need your love. We need your understanding. We need to know that you “get it". We need to be the one taken care of every once in a while. We need someone else to take charge of the details because constantly doing everything ourselves is exhausting. Sometimes we need our feet rubbed. We need a shoulder to cry on when we can't even tell you why we’re grieving. We need you to do the hardest work you may ever take on, which is...to love a funeral director.
I would like to thank those of you out there who love them and let us do this work, this calling, this life: care work

Copy and paste if you are a funeral director or love a funeral director! 💕 It's not a job, but a lifestyle. I often hear people say to me, "I am glad there are folks like you who can do this work, because I sure could not". And I respond " and I am glad there are folks who can do your job, because I sure couldn't " . We all have different gifts and I am a firm believer that we are placed exactly where we are needed. It may take some of us a little longer to find our niche but when we do, it does not feel like work if you love what you do.

Due to this evenings guidelines from the prime minister, we will be conducting funeral arrangements over the telephone only. With strict instructions in place to only leave the house for exercise or essential shopping, and gatherings of no more than two this is a risk we cannot take by breaking guidelines. For the time being, we will at some point need clients to sign paperwork for cemeteries and crematoriums but this will be done on an appointment basis with only one person attending to do so. We are anxiously waiting on further instructions from our cemeteries and crematoriums regarding numbers of mourners permitted at funeral services. We endeavour to update all of our families as soon as we can. Again, thank you all so much for your patience and understanding.
