Hi all!

It’s me. Again. So I am beginning to reach out to homes around me for part time work. I’m also stating that I am fine with part time volunteer work. It’s so hard to get your foot in the door, I’ll take unpaid labor at this point just to get in there.

I work a full time job. We don’t do super great financially. I’m willing to go part time at my regular job if I got paid for 2 days at a FH. I’m willing to cut my work hours by one day to even work in a funeral home unpaid.

Logistically I’m running a million potential staffing/scheduling scenarios in my head, trying to make a plan preemptively on how I would work around the necessity to work a job, and start to get experience as well. What are the schedules usually like? My only stipulations are that I can’t do on call during week days (unless they were designated days in which case I would drop down at my job). Is this really, really stupid, this stipulation? I’m trying every which way to make this work in my head. Or are you always on call all the time as an attendant/there are no set schedules? I don’t want to sound dumber than I already do; I literally haven’t even gotten to talking about schedules yet. All I’m getting is “I’m going to take your name and number down”. I am hesitant to go in person just yet because I really don’t want to accidentally walk in at a terrible time, I’d be mortified. Please any advice would be appreciated! I should be starting at CIFS next July so I’m trying to get as much experience as I possibly can.

When my grandfather passed back in 2020, we couldn’t afford a gravemarker, now we finally can. We went to the cemetery atl purchased one and they said it would take 9 months? Is that normal? It just the classic 12x24 marker, no vase

Also my god, why is it so expensive😭 $2400 for a stone, is crazy

My mom has done this but I've always found it a bit odd. Is this common?
