In other blog news, our meeting on August 2nd featured none other than our popular Mark Heiner. Mark discussed his life and his career path and the why's and how's of how he chose to be a funeral director and then the why's and how's of how he left being a funeral director and the why's and how's of coming back and being a morutary owner/operator. He also discussed making plans for your funeral before your demise to take the pressure and mental anguish off your family and loved ones as they prepare to say their final goodbyes. It is always good to be prepared, just ask the Boy Scouts, and this is a big one to be prepared for . Thanks Mark for your insight and expertise. Now lets go see the Creamatorium. (sp)
