A Must See

Jerry put a link to the PBS Frontline program "The Undertaking" on the funeral home website. You can watch the entire program in sections. There are additional videos you can view as well. Here's the link.

It's difficult to put into words how I felt watching this show. One of the stories is about a couple who lose their child. It reminded me so much of my friends Pam and Greg. They lost their baby nearly five years ago. Watching this brought back many of those memories. I have been sitting at the computer for the last hour, crying.

No one can understand the life Jerry leads as a funeral director. But, this program might help you realize that Jerry is the best kind of person to be a funeral director. It'll help you see why he finds his work fulfilling and meaningful. What's is so strange is that Jerry didn't really choose the profession; it just chose him. It chose wisely.
