Your Funeral Guy's First Funeral Horror Story.
I thought I had prepared myself for everything I would see as a Funeral Director.
The Husband had lost it and killed the three boys at His Home. Yes he had taken a gun and shot the three children 3 kids under 14.
This one gave me the shakes, all i knew was the wife ran off another man and the guy lost it.
I was elected to measure the three bodies for casket. The fourth body was not given a casket, the father.
The boys were obviously vibrant. Even after shooting(suicide) himself the Father Looked Stressed.
I lost it for about 2 minutes...How do i deal with this?
After 2 minutes I took a deep breath.
I completed the mortuary task.
The father was given a cremation with no ceremony. This cost very little.. The three boys were given a lower cost dignified funeral. There is no human explanation for what had happened.
All I remember praying was that all four Rest in Peace.
