That is an awesome way to support those people currently in mortuary school! Love your way of supporting them!!! (Not a mortuary student but love how you are supporting them!)

Not a student, My best friends father's owned a funeral home, so I basically grew up in a funeral home and worked there when I was older. My Dad would not let me go away to school. So I am living the dream through y'all

Awesome prizes and I look forward to seeing everyone’s comments! I am a student at a local community college for funeral service, it’s a program that is a precursor to mortuary school. I don’t think that means I qualify for the prizes, which is okay. I still wanted to comment. :)

Not a student. Just love this topic you both cover , But I love both your channels and love supporting them :) good luck to all the students

1.) What stresses me out the most about mortuary school is working full time at a funeral home while also doing the full time schooling. It’s very fast paced and they require you to work so many required hours at the funeral home, which is great for the experience but it can also be very stressful. 2.) The subject I struggle the most with in school (so far) is microbiology. I haven’t taken my chemistry class yet and I know I’ll probably struggle with that! 3.) I want to become a Mortician because the career absolutely fascinates me. I love learning about the human body and the science behind decomposition and embalming. I also love to help people and this career would be very rewarding for me in that aspect. BONUS QUESTION - I am a mortuary science student at Kansas City Community College in Kansas City, Kansas. I am in my first semester!

1. What stresses me out the most about mortuary school? I’m really new to the industry, but really excited to be getting a start on my career! But something that comes to mind that would make me stressed out is conflicts between families, whether it’s over final disposition, funeral arrangements, or just family arguments in general, stresses me out. Since I’m new to the industry the thought of being faced with those situations definitely makes me nervous! 2. What subject do you struggle with the most in mortuary school? Why? I started my degree in science before I transferred to mortuary studies so I actually love all the anatomy and science based classes! The class I actually find the hardest is Funeral Directing I, because there are a lot of laws and regulations in them, and I am really struggling to remember and understand them all! 3. What made you want to become a mortician? Actually in my first year of science, I had the chance to job shadow a surgeon, and I watched him deliver bad news to, two different families. I found it really weighted heavily on my afterwards, I couldn’t sleep much at night because I was constantly wondering how they were doing, and found myself really wishing I could help them. So a year later I transferred to mortuary studies! Because I really wanted to help people through their worst time, cause there is nothing worse than not knowing what do to, or how to handle loss when faced with it. Bonus: I am attending Mount Royal University in Calgary Alberta (currently online, I live in Edmonton) and I am in my first semester! I am 21 years old!☺️ Also a fellow Pisces! My birthday is March 9th♓️

Visiting and subscribing from the Grave Woman's channel. The death of my baby son inspired me to work with terminally ill persons.

Hi! My name is Alissa, I’m from Buffalo, NY and I am currently finishing my first semester online with AAMI. The thing that stresses me out most about mortuary school is finding that balance between studying, work, and maintaining my family life. It’s a difficult balance, especially with a toddler. The subject I struggled most with in school was principles of embalming. There are so many terms that are very similar to keep straight, and important people from the 1800’s to remember. Next semester, I imagine intro to chemistry will be my most difficult class. I wanted to become a mortician for a few reasons. First, I’ve always been involved in the human services field but haven’t found my niche yet. Second, I read a book called “Stiff: the Curious Life of Human Cadavers” by Mary Roach and it opened my eyes to what happens to a person postmortem. It sparked my interest in the field and in green burial services. Lastly, after my son was born I went for it. I wanted him to see that you’re never too old to make a change, and to pursue your dreams.

What stresses you out most about mortuary school? For me, the transition to mortuary school while trying to balance the other aspects of my life is the biggest stress. Work, family, school, finances and mental well being are all extremely important things to maintain while being a student. What subject do you struggle most with and why? I think I will struggle the most with Jurisprudence, as it is overwhelming with information. What made you want to become a mortician? Experiencing loss at a very young age contributed to me wanting to become a mortician. I lost my grandfather, role model and best friend at the age of four. I realized later on in life that I never wanted anyone (especially any child) to be confused or feel alone about death. I want to help people view the subject of death in a different manner than what western culture has made it to be. What school do you attend and what semester are you in? I am entering Semester 1 of the Funeral Director Class One, Embalming program at Humber College in Toronto, Ontario, Canada!

Not a student but i loveeeeee this topic. I always been interested in dead bodies .. kind of weird to say. When i was in college i always wanted to become a homicide detective. But i changed my major to health science to become a physical therapy assistant 🧡

What I didn’t learn in mortuary school Boundary setting and self care How to tell my work hey I’ve got a test so here is my boundary - I can do services and removals but I’ll pick up my work when I’m done with the nbe and need my intern hours Accessibility - for those who may not catch on to a concept immediately and that check lists are ok in some cases I struggle with pathology, embalming and funeral business law/management I got into funeral service because I like history, i have a background in anthropology and believe in helping people retain that history in those last resting places and dignified mission and service to community. I also have never felt more valued in what I do regardless of the funeral home experience - good or bad I am a second quarter student at lake Washington institute of technology that may be transferring to PIMS as I am moving East. I also have planned on signing up for the nbe review coach as I have autism and anxiety and need all the help I can get to pass the test as some funeral homes dont pay for the repeat nbes

1. I’m going to be starting mortuary school next month, and I think I’m most afraid to take Chemistry as I’m unsure of how much math is involved and I’ve always struggled with math classes. 2. I think I’m most stressed about doing well on the NBE and clinicals when I get to that part at the end. I’m also stressed about my current health issues and how I will do in this industry, but I’m determined to make it happen because I feel this is my calling! 3. I want to become a mortician because I want to be there for families when they need someone the most, and I also think it would be such an honor to care for someone’s loved one and give the family some closure and peace at the viewing. I’m so passionate about mortuary science and absolutely fascinated by the subject, so it feels like a good fit for me. 4. I’m currently enrolled online at AAMI and I’m starting next month.

Just wondering if funeral education would count...thats one of questions is that part of mortuary school i still have not received a answer from my student director

Not a student huge fan
