love how comfortable you are in your world
Yeah because every kid wants to grow up and work in a funeral home.
Is this a joke?😂
Sort of the definition of random. With all that’s going on in the World, with all the issues concerning women, really, I mean Really? Ok, ok I’ll be positive….life-giver and care-giver, women have been nurturing and nursing humanity from the cradle to the grave, it seems a natural thing that women would be there with love and care in the end to prepare you to pass over, tuck you in for the long sIeep. From the Pharaohs to Jesus, through the dark ages to the Age of Enlightenment, women have traditionally been the ones to ready us for our final journey, typically with great reverence and ritual, dealing with death, a part of life, as spiritual and sacred….it’s men who’ve made it a business, so hooray I suppose, for the gals who wish to break into that business. Going from primary preparers to bosses in the death industry, perhaps history will Iook upon these women Iike those who took us from nurses to doctors. 🙏🏾❤️✌🏾
Help circulate the crime without any responsibility of Assumption uni Thailand. After installing tapes recorders in school offices, the school uploaded our conversations on social media for many years without our awareness. Found out later the cause of dead incidents was the uploading by Assumption uni continuously done by Abac.
Caitlin Doughty is the leader in this movement along with death positivity and green corpse management.
This is so fecking stupid. Nobody is stopping women from doing anything. You're not pioneers your adults with jobs, congrat-u-freaking-lations.
The YouTube channel Ask a Mortician, hosted by Caitlin Doughy, a real-life mortician advocating for good death, is way more interesting than this note.
You really don't need to pay lots of money to be embalmed, made-up, put in a tank of a coffin, and deposited in a concrete vault. Mourning a loved one can be simple, natural, traditional, respectful, without all that industrial processing.
Okay
Where's the story about women breaking into the ice cream truck industry?
What an uplifting job to have
Hottest News!
Allies must destroy Germany as well!
No Excuse, No Doubt for Ukraine
My dad was a mortician in Washington, DC in the 50s through the 80s.
Makes sense since my ex nearly drove me to the grave.
What is this garbage lol. Horrible journalism I must say.
Oh yay, what a breakthrough! Funeral homes
This is so specific. I don't think anyone has ever thought "hmm, I wonder if the funeral home industry has a strong female leadership?"
What an oddly specific story. They hit that glass ceiling all right.
weird…good, but weird…
That's how you move a car and annoy GTC and losso gtc and a sound track https://youtube.com/shorts/3WaKCK3Qypc?feature=share
At :24, it says it’s The Office. That is clearly Parks and Recreation. They were both NBC shows. Does NBC not know their own shows??
Isn’t it sick how men have tried to “cling” to everything as if they have anything special that women have always been capable of but denied the right!
Women are breaking barriers in uh, funeral homes. Way to go, ladies.
Breaking barriers… at a funeral home?
