Friday around the profession

It’s Friday and we just thought that we would bring you some stories and/or news videos from around the profession to end the week.  Here is what we have for you today:

Pet Loss:  This short news video story from a Texas television station tells the story of a pet crematory that has allegedly had a gas leak so that their crematories have been out of service for over a month.  Pet owners are disappointed,frustrated, and hurt, and the sheriff was called to investigate as it is alleged beloved pets were just left to pile up outside the crematory building.

Whistleblower on CBS:  Tonight’s episode of the CBS television show Whistleblower will air a segment on a funeral director/mortician who “blows the whistle” on the alleged illegal activities of his boss.  Whistleblower will air at 8 pm Eastern/7 pm Central time on your local CBS station tonight.  Here is a teaser trailer video about tonight’s episode.  The funeral home portion begins at about 1 minute 30 seconds into the video.

New Funeral Director story:  We at Funeral Director Daily understand the problems many funeral homes have recruiting top talent in this tight employment era.  Here is another story of a new funeral director coming from another occupation to our profession.  This article tells the story of Anna Wolak of Chicago.  She was a former art student who turned mortuary student and just graduated from the Malcolm X City College with a 4.0 gpa and and Associate Degree in Mortuary Science.  She is just starting her internship now and seems to have found her calling.
