While there may be a perceived air of sadness and darkness around the idea of the death care industry, what you’ll find if you ask those who work in the field is quite the opposite. This important service field consists of many types of jobs. From funeral directors, to embalmers, to counselors and more, you’ll find people who care and are fulfilled by helping you and your family through a difficult time.
Abigail Price, a celebrant from the United Kingdom, says most people who inquire about her work say things like, “I don’t know how you do it.” But she goes on to say helping families is her favorite part of the job. She comments that they often find themselves laughing and happy together as they discuss precious memories of their loved one while planning a service.
Christa Ovenell, who decided to change her career path to the death care field at age 50, says, “The main reason I became a funeral director was to help people understand and deal with death & dying differently.” Ovenell embraces the ability to plan and prepare for death and feels education is the key to embracing this unavoidable part of life.
