Sunday, April 6th, 2008Quiet in the garden on Sunday morning. As our intern tries to focus on career opportunities, we (me, myself, and I) were thinking about our own. Even though we have a project stalled, and urngarden.com, was supposed to be a sideline business, keeps us a little busier than planned… we’re able to focus on what’s […]
The Future’s So Bright
Thursday, March 6th, 2008We literally HAVE to wears shades.
We push on.
And count our blessings. A friend in Florida stepped out for an hour on Valentine’s Day and came back home to discover a printer cord had shorted and caused a fire in the home office. A good neighbor happened by and saved their house. The cats […]
TSA Makes An Ash of Itself
Thursday, October 11th, 2007Can’t be too careful I guess. Last week hundreds of travelers were evacuated from the Indianapolis International Airport and had to go through security a second time Friday after an urn with cremated remains was improperly screened, authorities said.
Transportation Security Administration said officials could not locate the passenger to rescreen the urn, so the […]
Surprise Judgments
Wednesday, September 19th, 2007A client in Texas tells us that the funeral director was surprised when she booked a cremation, casket, and chapel for viewing/visitation. “Well, you know he’ll have to be embalmed.” he responded.
She did. That’s what she wanted.
She had her father-in-law’s blue cloisonne urn that she’d bought earlier and wanted the same thing […]

Bookmark Tilly’s Story to read when you need to be inspired after a “bad day” at the office.
Smart girl, that Tilly.

Patriot Day
Monday, September 10th, 2007Le Funeral Guru
Friday, September 7th, 2007In doing research for another project, we discovered Robin Heppell, and he’s taking funeral education to the streets in Canada and the USA.
Worldwide via the internets.
Our research had to do with women in funeral service and we wanted to check out the work of Paula Staab-Polk in Illinois. Couldn’t find a web-site, but found Robin’s […]
Arlington Church Pulls Out
Friday, August 10th, 2007Thanks to Granny for the tip.
Mr. Cecil Sinclair, 46, died Monday. He was a native of Fort Worth, a Navy veteran who served in Desert Storm helping rescuers find downed pilots, and a singer in the Turtle Creek Chorale. He did not belong to a church.
Sinclair’s brother was a member of the Arlington mega church […]
Quality Fade
Monday, August 6th, 2007This post might have to be a mini-series, but as funeral directors are tempted to expand the profit margin with Chinese caskets, you must prepare for the likely hood of quality fade. It won’t happen right away, it’s usually the after line is established and a guaranteed profit producer.
It’s an issue we are dealing with […]
