Mortician Secrets REVEALED! What They'd NEVER Do After Handling Death
The funeral industry is often shrouded in mystery, but former morticians are starting to share their experiences, revealing insights into death and dying. Annie Owen, a funeral director, recently spoke about her journey and the lessons she's learned after years of working with the deceased. Her journey began in high school, sparked by an interest in funeral service, despite initial discouragement. She pursued a degree in funeral science and became a mortician and funeral director.
Owen emphasizes the importance of empathy and emotional resilience. "It's not about us, it's about their feelings," she shares, highlighting the need to prioritize the family's needs. However, she also acknowledges the emotional toll the job can take. Suppressing emotions to care for others can become overwhelming over time.
Controversy in the Funeral Industry
Recent news highlights potential issues within the funeral industry. Patrick Vereb, a funeral home director, faces felony criminal charges for allegedly taking payments for pet burials and cremations that never occurred. Corridoni Funeral Services has explicitly denied Vereb's employment, stating, "Patrick does not work for my funeral home. Patrick has never worked for my funeral home, and in the future, Patrick will never be on my payroll."
Disturbing Allegations Against a Funeral Director
In a separate case, Robert Bush, a funeral director in Hull, appeared in court facing 63 charges, including burial offenses, fraud, and theft from charities. The charges stem from a major investigation into Legacy Independent Funeral Directors, where police removed 35 bodies and a quantity of ashes. Bush faces multiple counts of preventing lawful burial, fraud, and theft from charities like the Salvation Army and Macmillan Cancer Support. These cases highlight the importance of ethical conduct and oversight within the funeral industry.
These revelations from professionals like Annie Owen, coupled with the controversies surrounding individuals like Vereb and Bush, offer a glimpse into the complexities and challenges of the funeral industry. It underscores the need for transparency, ethical practices, and a focus on compassion when dealing with death and bereavement.
