#507 Calahan Funeral Home of Chicago, Illinois

Almost 30 years ago, back in 1983, Edward Calahan CFSP opened his own funeral service company. He started small – in fact, Calahan Funeral Service was based out of an existing funeral home in Chicago. When the owner of that firm suggested that Edward take his passion for excellence in service out into the wider world –he took the suggestion to heart. Join Brian on the road in Springfield, Illinois where he meets Edward and Shirley Calahan. Brian trys to examine the differences between rural and metro funeral homes as well as the differences in ourselves and our communities.  This is an important show folks. As we all look to grow in our work and in our lives, we find ourselves so focused on one thing and often it's our differences.  Listen closely as the Calahan's give their attention to the light in the darkness of death, our similarities.  The isolation of funeral service highlights our differences. Some times we simply need another person or undertaker, to redirect us.  Learn more about the Calahan Family at: https://www.calahanfuneralhome.com/ Connect with Undertaking: The Podcast at: https://www.undertakingthepodcast.com/ Have you heard My Funeral Home Stories?
