Anonymous funeral director explains the big con behind the industry, coffins, and embalming

As someone in the funeral profession I will tell you that this person is either a fraud or worked for an extremely rare and disgusting funeral home. It seems as though he/she googled a bunch of stuff and threw it together.

I hate things like this because VERY RARELY does anything good come out in the press about our profession. If anyone wanted to “sell” something for a living- Why in the world would they choose this line of work? Why not used cars, mattresses or electronics- something with a commission. It would take a sick individual without a lot of money sense. The fact that there would be several of them watching a grieving human being plotting on how they could upsell them is almost laughable. The honest truth is that most funeral directors/morticians/embalmers go into this line of work because they are extremely empathetic and felt a calling to help people. I call BS on the whole thing.
