It’s Thanksgiving today and I’m writing from a hipster cafe in the historic center of Lisbon, Portugal. We don’t celebrate Thanksgiving on this day per se, so I wanted to take a moment out of my day to be grateful. I’ve been writing for the funeralOne blog for nearly seven years now, and over these […]
The holidays are an interesting time for funeral professionals. While everyone else taking time off of work and getting into the jolly cheer, you’re being asked to turn the volume of your willpower, focus and space holding abilities all the way up. Yep, the holidays are when you, my dear funeral professional, are being asked […]
Halloween, also known as the “witches New Year”, is a great time to be a funeral director. There are so many fun ways to celebrate and create a little humor with your co-workers and community. That is, if you’re not too busy to celebrate! Just in case you do find yourself extra busy this Halloween […]
Christmas and remembrance go hand-in-hand. When we talk about the “true reason for the season,” many of these reasons are steeped in holiday remembrance: Family traditions that have carried over generation to generation, stories of holiday pastimes that are told around the fireplace, and even meals and movies shared that carry a special significance.

The Irish sure know how to throw an amazing celebration… St. Patrick’s Day is a great testament to that. Whether they’re laughing, drinking, singing, yelling (or, most likely, doing a combination of all of above), one thing is for certain: no one celebrates life and lives it to the fullest quite like the Irish do.

Everyone knows that the holidays are so much more than presents and stockings. As Santa Claus would say, ‘Tis the season of giving… whether that’s giving back to your community, giving love to those around you, or even giving back to those who are less fortunate. But while the importance of giving back is amplified […]
There’s nothing better than living your passion… and funeral professionals are some of the most passion-fueled people we know. Who else would leave the comfiness of their bed at 4am (for the second night in the row) to run off and help a family that’s not even their own? Who else would willingly skip birthday […]
