Well that actually happens sometimes – but my business is different… the people we handle are dealing with a loss… so sometimes they forget appts with us.

They have a lot coming at them, so it happens.

But can be little frustrating for us, because we prepare for all appts, and we never know when it’s going to get busy. So it’s just that.

But we are used to it. A call would be nice but ya know whatever

Oh today should be great day ❤️🙌🙏🙏🙏🙏

We not cooler yet… still REALLY HOT … 💯 today!

🤫 but I am wearing what I want today 😉🙌❤️

Ha! Well it went kinda weirdly lol … the one thing I forgot to pack was extra shoes 👠😮… so don’t laugh but all I had were these knee high black boots 👢 that’s it – just that

But whatever / I still wore my awesome clothes – but it was a black shirt – some super cute shorts … and then knee high boots – I had no choice

So that looked weird – I looked like I dunno some Vegas show girl or something and yes of course I had to see everyone – there was a bat signal on me or something lol

The Maintenence guy had to come over – and then that family from yesterday came 🤦‍♀️ of course … and then my boss 😮😮😮😮

So yeah 😮😄 but whatever lol … we handling and it a holiday. I have worked I don’t even know how many days straight with no day off so / I don’t really care on a holiday like that. ✌️ corporate doesn’t and my boss doesn’t mind either

Actually boss promotes self care ❤️🙌 so whatever

But yes I did have to see people 🤨… I never get to fly under the radar!! 🤨 ever

If I ever try to get away with little things – these things happen lol – life thinks it’s funny 😉

Well understaffed operation handling all those – but yes is nationwide…. There was only 2 handling all that! Told you – we hustle! 😉

Lol … even in death there is business 😉 most don’t think of it until happens, and most want to avoid… but some are smart and come see us before to write those “Preneeds” … what you need before it happens. “Preparation” lol ❤️

Then when time comes, they are all set and the family is not left with burden of anything – it’s paid for and last wishes written out 🙌 the only things families would have to pay for after a preneed – is any extra merchandise …jewelry, portraits, mementos etc. (yes we offer extras)

We sell this amazing cremation jewelry… we take fingerprints at families request and we can turn that into jewelry. It can have a small amount of ashes inside – so you have the fingerprint and have piece of them inside, to wear close to your heart ❤️… it’s really beautiful ❤️ …sounds creepy but it’s not lol

I had this one case where the person always told people “who cares what happens after I’m dead, I’ll be dead” … well if that’s how you feel then whatever… but I will tell you it was really sad – no preneed, no friends because was mean in life, no one would take responsibility, no family nothing… indigent and abandoned. It was the saddest case to me!! To end a life like that!! Did they truly not care? I guess so?

Because no one would take responsibility for that person… and there was no money nothing … we had to refer back to county..

But died in one county and then in life collected government benefits from a different county than the one died in – and that was issue!!! Neither county wanted either 😮😮😮 omg

It took forever to turn over to coroner … I don’t really know what happens after that. “I believe” they cremated and are entombed or buried in a section of the city cemetery.

It was really heartbreaking to me to watch no one – not the family friends or even county wanted

So when they would tell people they don’t care what happens because they already dead? Did they mean that? Because that was awful 💔

So yes … we are a business to make sure when you pass – you have peace 🙏

Every person has different ways too.

We all have specialties … we do them all and I only say specialties because is the surrounding neighborhood and what we get a lot of … mine is Catholic, Italian and Greek 😉😘 but we do everything … my favorite was a Chinese funeral ❤️❤️❤️ I loved everything about how the Chinese viewed it and their customs. It was beautiful and touching ❤️ really somethin ❤️ such love and really cool beliefs

So yeah – definitely a business … but we work really hard – even for indigent abandoned. We try to give you peace no matter what. ❤️🙏

Week so far going ok 🙏

Have a happy hump day lol ✌️I hope I make it over the hump lol 🙏🙏😘

Well it is her choice, but of course or hopefully… you love her lol

But that will fall on you because you would be next of kin – and any siblings… if you have siblings whether you speak to them or not they are also next of kin

In that case – you might want power of attorney … because too many cooks in the kitchen can also ruin the pot.

Is stressful time, a lot comes at you and families fight… power of atty makes it easier – one signature, one in charge.

You or your siblings will be responsible for paying for the funeral and even a cremation is not super cheap.

That’s the only thing people don’t realize – we don’t just throw you in a pit for free Lol

We handle all people will respect and care so ya know is work so nothing in life or death is free 😉✌️

I get what she means, but is ones who love her who are left behind in her wake ✌️

Does she have a plot next to him? Cemetery property?

Here is like buying a plot of land and that’s essentially what you are doing. You buy it – it’s yours til you need it.

Did she buy herself one when he passed so she could be with him?

It’s been 4 years since my dad passed 💔 that’s still hard for me to say

But yeah if she at least has cemetery property then that’s good 👍 that’s half your battle!!

It’s smart to think of the end. You think of when you want a car, a house, a child,
Everything in life … but no one wants to think or spend money on death.

No one wants to think of death, it’s not a great subject. Is very sad.

I had to go through that with my kids… my oldest has power of atty if I died during all those cancer surgeries … I constantly had to go over all my documents with them and what I wanted.

They hated talking about that… even still – now it’s worse since I work at a funeral home lol … cause I tell them how important it is to plan. They always roll their eyes – they young, they don’t know yet

But I plan everything 😉😘 just incase ✌️

Those were awful conversations and we would cry at that time so was REALLY hard. I had to look at my kids and say “incase I die… “

But now there is no question on what I want and they know what to do ❤️ every so often I just make sure they still aware lol … they don’t like that. But only because they don’t like the thought of me dying.

Is just good to have direction and plan.

I would like to Rest In Peace so I just make sure 😘✌️

I try to get them to preplan but they hear nothing I say lol – they think they are too young … but even if they are … by time did die… their funeral fully paid and probably THEN SOME!!

I am just a preplanner with things 😉😘 I don’t like to be up shit creek without a paddle. Lol

When you say space there “by now”??

I saw a documentary about Europe cemeteries that said they “RENT out the plots” … is that true??

Lol yes some do get spooked talking about death. I have a friend who doesn’t want me talking about work or death at all lol

I faced death a couple times and then now, everyday I am around death. Most days, I have wakes or funerals going on.

So death is very much in my life lol… it kinda is my life 😮 …totally never saw death coming into my life the way it has! Funny how that worked out 😮 lol

But because I am somewhat desensitized to the fear of death… I don’t fear death – except the death of my mom (I do still fear that – but only because I love her so much and want to hold on so bad!)

You have to tell me if you do not like that talk lol … it doesn’t scare me and I just like to be prepared. I forget sometimes is bothersome – so just tell me

There is stuff that scares me and I can’t talk about… so I can understand people with not wanting to speak of death.

Ahhh to be invincible 🙌

Would you “want to” live forever? (Lol life questions)

Oh we do that… my grandparents bought 6 plots back in the 70’s, when my great grandmother died

So buried there are her parents, one of her sisters and her husband, and my grandmother and grandfather … they all sit on top of each other – full caskets ⚰️ no cremation. Irish Catholic cemetery.

They go deep lol ✌️

Yeah you definitely need land for the dead … and you have the catacombs 😮🙌 like the holy grail of death 😮😮😮 have you been?!! You must have!!! Although no longer accepting lol 😉 still fascinating!!

You are funny… instant answer – I guess so

Yes I would NOT like to watch those I love die either. That would be unbearable, because it hurts.

Lol – I have curiosity too 😉

Do I want to live forever ♾🤔

Nah … I will just take legend of my own time lol 😘✌️😄

It might be sad to watch human qualities change … like how we saw both before and after technology. 😉 … I like a more human/earth/universe element 😉 so not sure I would want to see what happens outside my lifetime.

You are never too dull lol 😘

Well is 3X3 next to each other. So just that deep lol 😉

Ohhh we do not have that. We used to have cremation gardens (but the city has ordinance now because of air quality – is California 🙄) we do have columbarium’s

We do not have ossuaries lol

Because probably one person loved someone so much they wanted something special – and then other people followed suit lol … and as humans became more civilized (using term lightly 🙄) it was way to show care? And leaving more of a mark on the world? “I was here!” Lol

I would like to think like that ❤️ because that is my initial thought ❤️😘✌️

But as I wrote that, I thought 🤔… was probably someone who knew could be a business. Why not make it “Grand”

But ya know – it costs a lot to BRING someone into the world… and is not cheap at end of life. The beginning and the end. ✌️

Ohhh you spoke my language 🎶🎶🎶 lol 🙌❤️👏

We don’t do that here.

Generally you just have your final resting spot

I don’t think I would be comforted by being with other people 😮 even if dead 😮

In death, just as in life – I definitely want peace. Even more so for eternal sleep!

We do have disinterment sometimes … we just reinter after. Depends

But never an ossuary 😮
