I live near several funeral homes, and often see the workers outside, shoveling in their formal attire, or directing cars. My heart sinks whenever I drive by and there is a service. I have always tried to imagine what it must be like to be inside one of these people, but cannot. Does anyone have any insight?

they just get used to it
I read an article the other day about the guy who created a meth lab in his funeral home. It is very sad, but like the other person said, I’m sure they get used to it.
Like any other job it’s an occupational stress that you just get used to.
It’s their profession & they have become used to the sadness & tragedies, day after day.
I am a funeral director and for most directors I know find it very hard and often times we cry along with the families. I live in a small community and I know most of the families in our community. So every time we get a call my stomach drops to hear the name. However, I feel that my job is needed and I find it very rewarding to help our families get through the rough period in their lifes. We also have the unique ability to get to know nearly all of the community and be close to them.
Hope this helps! God Bless!
