Morticians are Doctors Too

Hey guys! I hope everyone is having a fantastic summer! Since this is the first day since the last post I made that I have had a little time I thought I would give a little insight as to my job at the funeral home 😄

So, in all honesty my job can get a little crazy and as of now, the hours are unpredictable. I've come to the conclusion that Morticians are Doctors too, just for dead people. I work late a lot, come in early, there have even been times where I don't take a lunch because it's so busy or I'll be on lunch and get called to pick up a body. Once school starts I'll be working both graveyard shift from midnight to 8 am during the week and day shift from 8 am to 5 pm on weekends (since I'll be in school a majority of the day Monday-Thursday). It'll get a little crazy with having Pre-Calc and Anatomy [again], but I'm hoping to get some work done during grave when it's a slow night.

Regardless of the things I see on calls, the crazy hours, and the stories I've gained in the few months I've been here, I still love my job. It's super stressful about 90% of the time, but I wouldn't trade it for anything else. I've even had two of my old managers from Applebee's and a few of my old co-workers from there say they've decided they only want me to perform their removals, embalm them, and prep them for their funerals lol.

So that's a brief update on the job and I'll keep posting more as I go along 😊I have tons of stories from on the job, some "supernatural" and some from calls. So if you guys want to read some, I'll post them 😄

I hope you're all doing great, and ready to take on the next semester!

  1. "Morticians are doctors for the deceased", well said! Very glad to hear you love the job Val ^_^ Finishing IS101-3017 is a happy casualty of starting a career in one's chosen field.

    Didn't one of your IS101-3017 classmate express the same sentiment as your old managers and co-workers from Applebee's? ;-p

    I would definitely like to hear stories and updates from your job :-)
