"Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It is the transition that is troublesome." - Isaac Asimov

March 11th is National Funeral Director and Mortician Recognition Day. It is a day set aside by Congress in 2008, “to pay tribute to funeral directors and morticians who, day in and day out, assist our Nation’s families in their times of sadness and grief and help families mourn a death and celebrate a life.”
While the COVID-19 pandemic has caused stagnation for many businesses, the funeral profession has experienced not only a higher level of activity, but also has had to modify various processes and traditions. Whether these evolving practices result in permanent changes remains to be seen. Nevertheless, during these times it is even more incumbent upon our profession to support our families and communities.
The Funeral Industry, as always, is ever changing. In days past, educational and licensing requirements across the United States have been lax overall and left up to each state’s governing body to determine the requirements within their state. Although each state continues to remain in charge of determining requirements, those requirements are becoming more stringent each year that funeral professionals remain in practice due to advances in death care technology, governing regulations, and the expansion of the funeral directors/professionals’ duties.
