Episode 4: What Funeral Directors Want You to Know

What really happens after someone dies, and what do funeral directors wish families knew before they are in the middle of grief?

Our guests, funeral professionals and death care experts, walk us through the first moments after a death, from who to call to how to make decisions when emotions are high. They break down funeral planning in simple, human terms, separating what is required from what is tradition, myth, or pressure.

We explore one of the biggest misunderstandings about funerals. That they are for the dead. They are not. They are for the living, for connection, storytelling, meaning, and honoring a life in ways that help loved ones begin to heal.

This episode also highlights the power of planning ahead. From advance directives to funeral arrangements and hospice support, these choices do not just ease logistics. They give families the freedom to grieve with clarity, intention, and love.
