At my grandmother's funeral in July, I was impressed by the tact of the people that run the mortuary. I think some members of my family knew the people that ran the place, but it must be tough or a facade to host the bereaved every single day without becoming jaded and not giving a crap, yet the empathy from these guys seemed very real. Between the visitation and the funeral at a Catholic church to the burial, these guys were on the ball and took care of everything. Seamless.

Also, I put the "fun" in funeral, and while I didn't plan to drink after we drove to the gravesite, we are all Irish and ended up at some VFW place and got hammered on a bar tab sponsored by her trust, heh.
