    The Mortician and Your Kids; A Word to the Wise

    We are living in difficult times.  Roll reversals are in effect meaning parents are the children and children are the parents.  We are living in the "Gen Z" era.  The younger generation want "it" NOW!  Back in the day, during the late night newscast aired, the pre-roll audio began with "It's 10 o'clock, where are your children?"  Those days are long gone.  However, it would be great, if we could regain discipline and respect for each other. As a mortician/embalmer, I have prepared many teenagers and young adults from gunshots, stabbings, suicides, homicides, and natural causes.  Long story short, please discipline and monitor your loved ones.  It's not pleasant seeing your child on the preparation table and casketing them for a private and/or public viewing, followed by a funeral service, then burial.   Share your stories with me.  Email me maugustus890@gmail.com.

    Forthcoming book: "So, You Want to Become a Mortician?" and More

    I'm the author of four books.  My latest forthcoming book is entitled "So, You Want to Become a Mortician?"  It is not available for purchase, yet.  It is currently 475 pages and increasing.  As the title suggest, the book includes the History of Embalming and Funeral Directing, techniques of embalming, and various types of religious services throughout the world. More content is being added and will go to publishing within 3 to 6 months.  The content is for clinical and non-clinical readers.  It definitely will enhance your learning and introduce you basic and complex embalming techniques.  The goal is to introduce my book to colleges and universities.  As a previous college professor, academic learning and practical training are essentials in mortuary science.  This book is worth the effort and knowledge being shared with you. Last, I have invented a device that will revolutionize the field of embalming and embalmers, I promise, will LOVE IT!  The prototype is in the making.  Once scaled to perfection, it will be release for sale to thousands!

    Pre-Need (Part 2) and, Forthcoming Book: "So, You Want to Become a Mortician"

    Pre-Need is a 'Must Have!'  It will follow you to your demise/death.  If you obtain a Pre-Need in Texas, for example, and you move to New Jersey, what happens to your money, your pre-need?  Will you lose your money or pre-need?  No.  Regardless, if you purchased your pre-need from a funeral home or mortuary in your community, and you relocate to another city, the receiving funeral home or mortuary MUST accept the pre-need plan at the original cost.  However, if items are added to the original pre-need plan, those items will be charged to the new Funeral Purchase Agreement. I highly encourage you to meet with a licensed funeral director in your community and pre-plan your funeral arrangements, cremations, memorial service, or body donation.   Feel free to reach out to me via gmail which is maugustus890@gmail.com.
