Waiting For The Right Door To Open

What if the closed doors in your life are actually signposts? We sit down with Michael Perie—mortuary educator, industry pro, and calming presence—to unpack how faith, timing, and real rest can shape a career that serves people at their most tender moments. Michael shares why he waits for clarity before moving, how doing “nothing” on purpose refills his tank, and why a steady voice can change the temperature of a room, a graveside, or a classroom.Michael PerieWebsite: http://www.mp-educates.com/Email: [email protected]: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-perie-0902025a/From there, we zoom into the future of funeral service. Cremation is steadily becoming the norm in regions once defined by burial, and that shift demands new training. Michael outlines what students need now: practical cremation workflows, chain-of-custody precision, transparent communication with families, and ethical decision-making that honors budget, ritual, and belief. We also explore alkaline hydrolysis—water cremation—where student enthusiasm outpaces business adoption, and discuss the regulatory, financial, and cultural hurdles that keep innovative options on the edge in many mid-southern states.Join us as we support In His Grace Ministries this month!Subscribe for more conversations at the intersection of purpose and practice, share this episode with someone who could use a green light, and leave a review to help others find the show.
