Absolutely disgusted at around 13 minutes in, he’s in a room with an occupied coffin, swearing and stressing about bloody cuff links! Have some respect!!
JEANS !!! the dad wears jeans when when showing the family to see there loved one !!!! seriously . also hope the girls bring the premises into the 21st century too . apart from that , total respect .
I think the dad has mild OCD. He may get anxiety if he doesnt do it himself or shows them the "correct way". Plus if he never shows his emotions he is likely tense and stressed.
I'm starting mortuary school im January. I'm beyond nervous & scared to death, (no pun intended). I have heard horror stories of people quitting mortuary school left and right and dropping out like flies because of the demanding hours the family is grieving is too much to handle not so much the deceased ones it's usually the living ones that rush you out of the business. However I am 33 not getting any younger and I am divorced and have to make a paycheck and stand on my own two feet now so I'm really hoping this works out because I need to be good at something!!
I wish you well on this new chapter in life! I also wanted to be a Mortician, but it never happened. I'm now 50 and getting divorced thinking I may give it a go now! I do Taxidermy part time, but need money. Anyways, good luck to you!
I started working around the family funeral home when I was a young teen. In the States you go on to a college program. I learned more at home than I ever learned in school. One of the biggest things you learn is respect for the dead and more important, the living.
Sorry for this comment. I don't want to cause offence but should you have to goto school/college to learn how to be respectful to the deceased? Surely that should come naturally to any person. If you need to goto school/college to learn it then you should think about another career.
In the US, funeral directors / morticians undertake the embalming process as well, front- and back-of-house responsibilities, hence the need for college.
A very good documentary. I'm from Australia & for a long time have been interested in working in the funeral industry. There was a famous quote that a former British Prime Minister William Gladstone said. I will paraphrase it for you. "If you show me the manner in which a society cares for it's deceased, i'll show you the manner in which to care for the living."
I think it's very nice how they have a person in very formal attire leading the funeral procession. It's like a quaint Victorian touch. In the U.S. Wakes and funerals have become so casual. People show in jeans and sneakers, white miniskirtsand act like it's happy hour. I like to see some respect for the deceased and the family.
It is a shame that it's a casual affair in the U.S. But more and more people are choosing a more lively funeral and saying they don't want people turning up in black. I for one want a traditional funeral. Black horses and carriage, with everyone wearing black. The only modern twist i want is, and people think I'm weird here, I want the burial to take place just as night is turning into day where there is just enough light to read without a torch and (if it's not already foggy) i want a fog machine pumping fog across the graveyard.
I served a funeral where all but one mourner turned up in jeans or track suit bottoms. Most wore t shirts. They were calling priest "mate" which in UK is a casual term.
'Dignity and respect' - yet deems it acceptable to get changed in the room of repose in the presence of a deceased, and has personal belongings in the room where the deceased is resting. Jeez. Gives us a bad name!
It's so funny when his daughters double team him....lol No pun intended, but he looks like he is about to have a heart attack. He's a total teddy bear. 🐻
In the UK kids only go to school until they are 16. In order to graduate they have to pass their GCSEs. They have a choice to either go to college or go to work. Their is no choice in the matter.
Shauna, only young people who are not particularly "academic" leave school in the U.K. at the age of 16. If you get high enough grades in your "O" (Ordinary) Level exams, you have the opportunity to stay in school until the age of 18 to sit "A" (Advanced) Level examinations. It is only with high enough grades in "A" Levels that you may apply to go to University.
Misplaced Kiwi I was Veda, only I was a boy. So many similarities. I went on to mortuary college. It's a hard job, but the community respects our family for the dedication to our duty.
That movie was great. It makes me cry like a baby every damn time I watch it. When she goes to Thomas J’s casket and asks where his glasses are and says he can’t see without his glasses breaks me. I can’t handle it.
+Alan Bowditch Reunited with the most precious one in his life. One of this country's greatest but most overlooked singers. Oh the sad irony of this funeral coverage! It broke my heart.
I had the shop next door when this was being filmed, i would have to go around and tell them to keep the language down as my customers could hear the daughters swearing like troopers. the dad was constantly walking around the place topless, the dog was pissing over the flowers families were dropping off for the funerals, he left a body outside in the back of a hearse, completely forgot about it, i could go on.. They are a complete joke.
Was the body on in a hearse? I read another comment when I watched months ago claiming a coffin was left in heat in back of a hearse for hours. Though can't find it now.
Who cares about cuff links. I'm more concerned and descraced about him swearing. And getting changed in front of a decease person have some respect !!!
In Australia they use coffins mostly. There is a video channel called asked the mortician and she did a video on Coffins vs caskets - check it out she explains why caskets are around history etc It's mostly a thing about not showing the shape of the body it's really Interesting
sabrina m I’m an undertaker here in the UK. Coffins are the norms here, caskets are extremely popular in the Afro Caribbean and traveler communities tho. 😊
Coffins are traditional and (I think) better looking than caskets. Yes I understand that in places like the U.S one reason for a casket is so people can file past the deceased and show their respect which is great but no, sorry, for me it's coffins everytime.
Very appalling service created when a friend wanted to view he's late mum ,They had a we don't give a care attitude after funeral not much time to grieve then pestering 1 day after the funeral for payment are you that desperate MR RYAN !!!!
Coffins look so different from what we have in US. They are more rectangle. And bulky and weight a ton. Watching the pall bearers it didn't seem that heavy
The funeral home seems so tiny compared to funeral homes in the US. Walking through the office to the viewing room seems a bit wierd. We usually have grand foyers upon entering the front door. All business aspects are in a separate wing.
I'm trying to do this by choice, girl, if you do t enjoy it get out, it's a very particular industry. I love it, you are good, maybe just get away from your dad? Not sure. My goodness, I love this work and it is very hard!
Loved this video! So interesting to see such a young lady learning this trade. I agree with another poster here however; in that embalming is not necessary, nor does it somehow make the body hygienic. I understand why they do it for viewings and why a family may feel they need a viewing, but if they'd ever seen the indignities done to the body to achieve it, I'm sure most would not put their loved on through it. Even if the spirit has left, indignity to the vessel is repulsive to me. They may think they're getting a "last glimpse" of a loved one, but what they've done is put that person through a final torture in this realm.
Embalming is the preservation of the body, typically for viewing. Without embalming the family probably wouldn't do a viewing, which is fine, it isn't mandatory. But it is an option for grieving families if they so wish. The body is treated with respect and care by the embalmer, not tortured. The "vessel" as you say is embalmed for those who remain... that is what funerals, in general, are for, the living. The deceased are just that, deceased.
@@gogogadgetabby Yes, I do believe my post says, "I understand why they do it for viewings and why a family may feel they need a viewing". I'm perfectly aware that funerals are held for decedents but that has nothing to do with my stance on honouring their vessel.
I found this video because for the last few years I kept seeing that photo of the three of them next to ads for funerals. Of course this is one of those BBC Three documentaries lol, they all have the same vibe regardless of the topic.
I'm sorry to say this but I think that he should step aside and let his daughters take over. Well done to him for building his business up from scratch. Hat's off to him but I'm sorry, he is a grumpy old man and very stressed. I don't think he would be good at 'cheering' people up (if that's the right word to use). The girls seem to come across as more sympathetic and caring. Again I'm sorry for saying, but wearing jeans when in the company of family members viewing their dearly departed and sitting arm's and legs crossed looking bored stiff (pardon the pun) at Mr Youngs funeral isn't acceptable. I might be alone here but I think that's disrespectful and I wouldn't be very happy if I was viewing a loved one and he was dressed like that.
These days people are choosing a more lively funeral. They don't want people wearing black, more up to date music etc. I've always wanted a more traditional funeral. Black horses and carriage, with everyone wearing black. Service conducted by the graveside etc. People do tend to think I'm a bit weird here, but I want my burial to take place during the winter. And I want the service to take place at that time of the morning when night is just turning into day. Just as the sun is rising and where there's just enough light to read without a torch. And I'd love it if there was a fog just drifting across the graveyard and headstones. Bliss lol. I've heard a couple of other people say they would like the same. I'd love to see what kind of funeral you'd like.
Different people do different things. I serve funerals. Different priests do it differently. Some ask me to put book of gospels and cross on coffin. Some do themselves some don't use them. Some churches put shroud over coffin most don't. It's all down to tradition and local customs.
The accent issue may have arisen because this family are Welsh which, while of course part of the United Kingdom, does not sound like the usual "English" accent one usually hears in the U.S.A. on TV :).
I guy I went to high school with, his family owned a couple of funeral homes. He would tell me stories of some of the things that happened to him. He told me one time while embalming a person the body started twitching the fingers and toes moving. It freaked him out for sure.
I think the girl has quite a bit of maturing to do before she can really do that job well. I have to wonder if this is just a show or if the girl actually wants to do that for a living. If she does, more power to her. I hope it works out. I'd be creeped out being around dead bodies all the time, even though I have a dark sort of fascination with death and the whole process.
This looks like a backroom express funeral. Horrible and look at that casket. No way would i put my family member in that and whats up with the sheer material ovee the body?
+MsKidgie well thats mainly how it sometimes pronounced. Casket in America and in some other countries like Australia,Britian and various others its pronounced as Coffin.
An undertaker is not the same thing as a medical examiner. So there's not much blood and gore involved. The major thing people care about most is professionalism and respect. You're basically throwing one last party for the descendant. Make it as respectful and professional as possible. And pay attention to detail. The details matter! It bothers me when kids assume they'd be good at taking over the family business simply because their parents were able to run it. They think being handed a business without any hardwork and sacrifice is their birth right.
People asking if they nervous. I serve funerals and it may seem odd to people that I don't get nervous even when putting book of gospels and cross on coffin. At that point everyone is looking at me. Same as when I bring thurible to priest. Had upto 120 people watching me do these tasks. I don't get nervous because it takes concentration serving funerals or requiem Mass. Need to be ready to assist priest or funeral directors at any point so it goes smoothly. It sounds strange but can be nervous setting up or checking readings before hand but as soon as service/Mass starts I'm in serving mode and the nerves go. I'm nervous going in to the reception afterwards though. I don't know why
That man needs to understand that his daughter is too young to have so much placed on her .. She's only 16 years old and even though she has been raised around death that does not mean she's mentally and even physically ready to deal with the process of embalming bodies .I know he loves his daughter but he needs to rake rhe blinders off and allow her to have some more time to mature while dealing with daily life experiences..
Its amazing how different American funeral directors are than British funeral directors. Our funeral business are bigger therefore you do not have to visit the family to get information. Instead of giving out pen and cards to get information in England; American has a lovely booklet on a stand with pen to write in your name and address. The Church does all the programs and prepare the food. A non Church funeral will be in the funeral director building than the funeral director will prepare the programs. American funeral director does not walk in front of the hearse because we have the police escort to the church and place of final rest. America really wanted to be separate from the British traditions after the American Revolution War.
no! not hygienic! no! not presentable! gosh, at least a choice should be known, offered. "pink cocktail," a la "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes," Caitlin Doughty :)
Omg she is a young girl that needs to make the living beautiful Not the dead ones. omg leave the kid alone and let her make her own choices in life. what young kid whats this , very sad
Smarmy. The skanky clothes posing by the hearse and getting pics. The place itself is depressing as hell. He’s not riiiiite briiiite. He’s rude to his daughter. I kinda feel sorry for Rachel.
I agree, appearance is terribly important Jeans, and no shirt or cufflings.... The father comes off as rude and unrefined Still they were very busy as a business?? Well, good for him
@@briandunn6157 I think it's the families place to say if jeans fit their loved ones services or not. He's not officiating the funeral in that attire anyways. Everyone involved dressed more professional . The boys and the girls were dressed up when they respectively picked up the deceased and did the reading
That's silly I agree how it's mandatory to goto a mortuary science school or college in u.s.a. we probrobly have a course in britain but it's not a requirement
@@jaycormack4118 yes it's not mandatory. I know a guy fed up of care sector. Went to work at undertakers. Loves it. It's all on the job training. That's probably best way to learn in my opinion
Thank god I'm not British and do not live in the UK. Their hearses and coffins are super ugly. I like caskets, and hearses (Cadillac) that are used in North America, they are way nicer. In fact cemeteries in North America looks a lot more peaceful.
WongFeiHung1847 I’m from America and I like their way better. I think it looks less like a show. I hate those massive Cadillacs. Massive caskets. We pay anywhere from $7,000-$19,000. It isn’t worth it to put my family in debt so I can die. I love how they can see the coffin from the road. For me that’s enough show case!
I agree wongfeihung I'm british I like american funeral style usa caskets a cadillac or lincoln hearse we do have some beautiful jaguars and mercedes at the more prestige funeral homes in uk too
I agree. When my father passed away last spring he had a beautiful red casket (his favorite color), was dressed in his striped over-alls, with his signature baseball cap and Bible. I've seen many custom caskets that are beautiful! I guess it depends on the culture.
Rachel was outstanding in her learning this professional job of respecting the deceased. Great job......
So sad when John had to pick up his friend but what an honor because he was Loved!
What a great family ! I'm happy I came across your video. Pray all is still well you all.Love, from the USA..

Same as when I bring thurible to priest. Had upto 120 people watching me do these tasks. I don't get nervous because it takes concentration serving funerals or requiem Mass. Need to be ready to assist priest or funeral directors at any point so it goes smoothly. It sounds strange but can be nervous setting up or checking readings before hand but as soon as service/Mass starts I'm in serving mode and the nerves go.
I'm nervous going in to the reception afterwards though. I don't know why
That man needs to understand that his daughter is too young to have so much placed on her .. She's only 16 years old and even though she has been raised around death that does not mean she's mentally and even physically ready to deal with the process of embalming bodies .I know he loves his daughter but he needs to rake rhe blinders off and allow her to have some more time to mature while dealing with daily life experiences..
Rachel is so very beautiful 😍 top model
Grumpy old dude
Mainely Explorations He's Awful! 🙈
My dad is a funeral director
He needs to let her do it herself.
Interesting custom, to walk behind the hearse to the cemetery. We live 10 miles from the nearest cemetery. Walking that far is out of the question.
judgmental isn't he give her a chance
Its amazing how different American funeral directors are than British funeral directors. Our funeral business are bigger therefore you do not have to visit the family to get information. Instead of giving out pen and cards to get information in England; American has a lovely booklet on a stand with pen to write in your name and address. The Church does all the programs and prepare the food. A non Church funeral will be in the funeral director building than the funeral director will prepare the programs. American funeral director does not walk in front of the hearse because we have the police escort to the church and place of final rest. America really wanted to be separate from the British traditions after the American Revolution War.
If a person pay for police to walk or drive out in front. They will if not you are on your own
no! not hygienic! no! not presentable! gosh, at least a choice should be known, offered. "pink cocktail," a la "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes," Caitlin Doughty :)
MsKidgie u can do it.
#orderofthegooddeath
Omg she is a young girl that needs to make the living beautiful Not the dead ones. omg leave the kid alone and let her make her own choices in life. what young kid whats this , very sad
charley firminger I want it. I'm young..
Smarmy. The skanky clothes posing by the hearse and getting pics. The place itself is depressing as hell. He’s not riiiiite briiiite. He’s rude to his daughter. I kinda feel sorry for Rachel.
Men shouldn't wear Jean's past 30yo especially funeral derectors!!
According to whom?
I agree, appearance is terribly important
Jeans, and no shirt or cufflings.... The father comes off as rude and unrefined
Still they were very busy as a business?? Well, good for him
@@shuepsx652 Me!! I'm a New Yorker! Ppl judge on what you wear! We are very shallow!
@@briandunn6157 I think it's the families place to say if jeans fit their loved ones services or not.
He's not officiating the funeral in that attire anyways. Everyone involved dressed more professional . The boys and the girls were dressed up when they respectively picked up the deceased and did the reading
There is a bullet hole in the window!
Father was a fool for even considering her.
Why?
Me And Rachel have two things in Common we Both love Horse Riding, Shopping
So she didn't have to go to an accredited Mortuary college?
No learning on job. Often funeral directors children follow in family footsteps.
That's silly I agree how it's mandatory to goto a mortuary science school or college in u.s.a. we probrobly have a course in britain but it's not a requirement
@@jaycormack4118 yes it's not mandatory. I know a guy fed up of care sector. Went to work at undertakers. Loves it. It's all on the job training. That's probably best way to learn in my opinion
Now Join the WWE.
don't be arrogant
Thank god I'm not British and do not live in the UK. Their hearses and coffins are super ugly. I like caskets, and hearses (Cadillac) that are used in North America, they are way nicer. In fact cemeteries in North America looks a lot more peaceful.
WongFeiHung1847
Hahaha!
What a wanker 😄
WongFeiHung1847 I’m from America and I like their way better. I think it looks less like a show. I hate those massive Cadillacs. Massive caskets. We pay anywhere from $7,000-$19,000. It isn’t worth it to put my family in debt so I can die. I love how they can see the coffin from the road. For me that’s enough show case!
They’re probably thinking thank god they aren’t American. I know I think that every damn day. How embarrassing 🤮😩
I agree wongfeihung I'm british I like american funeral style usa caskets a cadillac or lincoln hearse we do have some beautiful jaguars and mercedes at the more prestige funeral homes in uk too
I agree. When my father passed away last spring he had a beautiful red casket (his favorite color), was dressed in his striped over-alls, with his signature baseball cap and Bible. I've seen many custom caskets that are beautiful! I guess it depends on the culture.
That’s what she’s chooses to dress up as at 16 years old? Says a whole lot about who she is as a person. Putrid little girl.
Lol he He x x x
This is a career I want to do
Me and Rachel have got the Same Hobbies Horse Riding and Shopping
