Welcome to this site. First, please accept our apology if this message comes to you at a difficult time. Please know that it is simply being sent to many email lists to get the word out about this helpful website and its reason for being.

When people find out we’re funeral director/embalmers, they do one of two things – tell a story or ask a question. This is great. We love answering questions and clarifying people’s perceptions and we also love hearing their stories. It’s hard though to hear about an unpleasant experience and know that it didn’t have to be that way. That’s the main reason this website, Funeral 411, exists – to give people the “411” on whatever they want (and need) to know when (and before) someone they love dies. It won't be all serious though; we'll inject some lighthearted things from time to time and where appropriate.

We learn a lot from hearing people’s experiences and hope that through this blog or through email, you’ll share your own stories with us. We look forward to it!
