Any Game of Thrones fan knows how many deaths occur every episode (13 is the average per episode, right now) and why you shouldn’t be attached to your main characters… ****GoT SPOILERS**** That’s a whole lot of dyin’, stabbing and awfulness, which should mean the Funeral Business/Death Care business is booming in Westeros and Essos, right? It sure sounds like the funeral business would be booming in Westeros and Essos. Can you imagine the kind of cash you’d be bringing in if you lived in the Game of Thrones era? I mean, of course, you would definitely have to brush up on your mortuary restorative art skills with all the brutal murders. I mean, people get decapitated all the time, so you’d obviously have to come up with a solution for that. You clearly have a strong stomach already, but with all the gore and guts you’d be dealing with you should maybe think about developing some coping mechanisms. If you can make it past all those barriers and even establish pre-planning in your kingdom, your funeral business will be prosperous enough that you could even hire a night watch to protect you and your family from a Ramsay Bolton-esque character. Just something to think about while you’re catching up on the latest episode and remember, Winter, is Coming. Cover image: HBO Game of Thrones Hiring: FUNERAL Directors published first on YouTube via Tumblr Game of Thrones Hiring: FUNERAL Directors DEERFIELD, ILL. — July 24, 2017— Selected Independent Funeral Homes’ Educational Trust has announced three new recipients of the Second-Career Scholarship in the amount of $1,500 each. The winners are Darlene Glidden of Acton, MA, Greg Burton of Medora, IN and Leanne Hall of Glen Burnie, MD. This scholarship was created to meet the educational needs of the increasing number of second-career professionals entering independent funeral service seeking positions as funeral directors and future leaders. Darlene Glidden, enrolled at Mount Ida College in Newton, MA, will graduate in May 2018. Currently employed at Bosk Funeral Home in MA, Glidden hopes to continue her employment there once licensed and degreed. Glidden comes to the funeral profession with 5 years of experience as a firefighter and an emergency medical technician. Glidden explains why she has chosen her new path. “I have always found the funeral rite a beautiful and symbolic time,” said Glidden. “To me, there is so much more to it than simply saying farewell to a loved one.” Greg Burton, a full-time student at Mid-American College of Funeral Service Science, expects to graduate in September 2017. Burton, like Glidden come from a background in emergency service. He served eight years as a paramedic. He is currently employed at Allen Funeral Home in Bloomington, IN. “I want to be a leader and the best at what I do,” said Burton. “It is important to me to work and be involved with independently-owned funeral homes.”
Leanne Hall has just completed her first year at the Community College of Baltimore County in the Mortuary Science Program and expects to graduate in the Summer of 2018. Hall comes from a background in cosmetology and she believes her skills set will be beneficial to her second profession. “Helping people to see their loved ones once again, as they remembered them, and giving families the confidence that they are being well taken care of is my primary purpose,” said Hall.
Since the award was first launched in late 2010, the Board of Trustees have awarded 31 scholarships to deserving individuals seeking a career in funeral service. More information on scholarship parameters, as well as the official application and complete list of previous winners visit the website. The Second-Career Scholarship is one of several programs of the Selected Educational Trust, which was founded by Selected Independent Funeral Homes, a worldwide professional association of independent, locally-owned funeral homes founded in 1917. By creating the program, the Trust hopes to attract and assist future practitioners interested in entering the profession. Selected Independent Funeral Homes’ Educational Trust Announces Three Second-Career Scholarship Winners published first on YouTube via Tumblr Selected Independent Funeral Homes’ Educational Trust Announces Three Second-Career Scholarship Winners We are really sad to announce that our lovely Editor, Louise Winter, has resigned as part of the GFG team this weekend. We’ve been lucky enough to have had her on board for over a year, during which time she has reinvigorated and rejuvenated the Good Funeral Guide, teaching us oldies about the power of social media and helping us reach farther than ever before using Twitter and Facebook. She’s been a great friend and colleague, and we will miss her immensely, but we’re delighted that her reasons for stepping down are such good ones. Lou will be devoting herself to running her new bespoke funeral business in London, Poetic Endings while simultaneously curating Life, Death Whatever and developing a LDW community – and writing a book in her spare time. After much deliberation, she decided that there just wasn’t enough space for her to continue her voluntary role with the GFG, so she has reluctantly decided to bring this chapter of her life to a graceful close. I know that I speak for my fellow directors when I say how sorry we are to see her go, but we are incredibly lucky to have enjoyed her creativity and company over the last year and we will remain the firmest of friends. Louise will continue to be an active member of the Good Funeral Guild, and will be acting as Creative Consultant to the GFG in the future – which basically means we’ll be ringing her up regularly to arrange to meet for a coffee and a chat, but she won’t have the burden of having to give up hours of her time being the editor of the GFG. So thank you very much for everything you’ve done in your time with us Louise. You’ve been amazing, and will be a very hard act to follow. We wish you every success with your exciting work, and we will feel a strong sense of pride as we watch you continue to change the way we do funerals in the UK.

There is nothing we love more on a sunny summer afternoon than kicking back with an ice cold drink, propping up our feet, and losing ourselves in a great story.

Both sharks and funeral directors are quiet, graceful creatures.All funeral directors are not alike, just as all sharks are not alike.[While many believe the funeral industry is a boys club, women in the industry are surging] Funeral directors come in all shapes and sizes, just like sharks. Some are gentile giants, and some are scrappy little beasts. They have special powers!Sharks can detect slight changes in water temperature, pressure, or electrical current. Funeral directors can fix broken hearts. Funeral Directors and Sharks are greatly misunderstoodSharks are constantly pinned as vicious predators. Funeral directors are labeled as depressing death lovers. Both are just trying to live their lives and help others. Both are constantly movingSharks keep moving to stay alive.

The conference offers three keynote sessions, along with two evening networking receptions, a government and legal affairs breakfast, and the annual Fall Management Golf Tournament. The keynote sessions begin with a workshop on Thursday, October 5, called “Think You Know Your #1 Competitive Advantage? Think Again!” presented by competitive advantage expert, Jaynie L. Smith. She will teach you how to uncover and tout your own advantages to increase your customer retention and sales close rates.
