What It Takes to Handle Death Every Day

What does it take to handle death every day? We explore who becomes a funeral director — from multi-generational family businesses to those drawn by a calling — and how they build the psychological tools to do this work. We dig into the training pipeline (yes, thanatochemistry is a real course), how directors navigate Jewish, Muslim, and Hindu burial traditions, and the surprising answer to whether they believe in ghosts. The bodies aren't the hard part, they say — it's the grieving families. Episode #780768 — open it directly at myweirdprompts.com/780768
