Reply to comment by Yourbubblestink in My mom wants a “Viking Funeral” here in Maine. How can I set that up? by Mildly_maria

I appreciate this. I understand it's an industry that is both not understood and necessary and a lot of people are pissy because they can't just open up a hole and drop Grampa in it. There's policies and procedures and due process to this whether people like it or not.

It never really occurred to me for some reason that people planning a funeral might be pissy toward the funeral director

More like ... Our staff are easy people to take out grief and frustrations on. We're trained to deal with grief and we're strangers, so some people can act out more than others. And some are just jerks and it's more evident when they're grieving. We're not your enemy and are actually trying to help you.
