I asked this question to the Confessions of a Funeral Director community:

 If you’re in (or going to be in) the funeral trade, what reason(s), experience(s) and/or event(s) inspired you to take the plunge?

These 20 very short stories help dispel the idea that funeral directors are innately money-hungry creepy people.  Creepy people who stuffed their first piece of road kill at the age of 10.  People who were born and wrapped in a black baby blanket and put in a coffin shaped crib with hearses and trocars dangling from our crib carousels.

Yes, death makes us different but most of us entered death care as normal, good-hearted people who want to make a living while making a difference.
