It takes a special type of person to succeed in this field, someone who is willing to assume the responsibilities that will ultimately shape a family\u2019s final memories of their loved one. And beyond the scope of traditional funeral professionals are those who choose to train and educate the next generation. In this, the first of a two-part article on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwin.edu\/majors\/funeral-service\/as-degree-program-outcomes\">Funeral Service program<\/a> at Goodwin University, two instructors share why their profession means so much to them and why students might consider it as the best path for them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Amanda B. Portelance<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Assistant Professor<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Goodwin University Funeral Service program<br \/>\n<\/strong>When you hear the words \u201cfuneral service,\u201d what do you think of \u2014 caskets, hearses, tombstones?\u202f What feelings are evoked \u2014 sadness, loss, grief? While it\u2019s natural for these images and experiences to come to mind, there is so much more to these cultural customs that nearly everyone, at some point, goes through in honoring those who have mattered most to them.<\/p>\n<p>In the funeral service profession, funeral directors take care of grieving families and provide celebration-of-life services for their loved one. It was the care and compassion my family received when my beloved Nonno passed away that first set me on the path to pursue this profession. Kim, a caring, well-spoken, female funeral director, took the lead on Nonno\u2019s services and guided my family through the process of laying him to rest. Kim\u2019s kindness and understanding made such an impact on me that I decided to explore this as a career path.<\/p>\n<p>You may ask, what <em>exactly<\/em> do funeral directors do? What are their day-to-day responsibilities? They assist families in shaping the end-of-life services appropriately, from casket and urn selection, writing obituaries, and coordinating church and graveside services to embalming human remains and assisting with floral arrangements. All these elements, when put together, result in services and ceremonies that capture the spirit of the departed loved ones.<\/p>\n<p>Funeral directors wear many hats for the families they serve. Every day brings new challenges and new experiences from which to learn. In addition to overseeing practical considerations, they also serve as caretakers, listeners, confidants, and shoulders to lean and cry on. Most importantly, they become an extension of a family during one of the most difficult times in their lives \u2014 and every family served is different from the last. Each decedent comes with unique circumstances, and a funeral director\u2019s care in serving families is pivotal to finding comfort and closure for the family.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jesse M.
