I received my funeral director and embalmer license last week and I’ve been working in the family funeral home for 2 years now. I really enjoy your videos and relate so much to what you go through on a daily basis. Great to see others who are passionate for funeral service. Keep up the great work!!
Jotham Koslowsky congratulations!!! This is defiantly a unique club that we’re in!
Congratulations
I had seriously considered the funeral business. I too did a tour/visit of a funeral home embalming. The coolest part was in New Haven CT at the historic Beecher and Bennett ( now repurposed) location from the 1800s. They showed me the cold storage! There was a massive crypt room like the catacombs in brick that before pneumatic drills and backhoes they would store remains until the spring thaw when they could hand dig the grave. Pretty cool that they saved the room for history.
Love your channel! you are such a awesome person. such a caring person, so sweet!!
Lisa Comp Manley thank you!
She really is. I just love her. An awesome young lady.
@@LittleMissFuneral Have you ever had a body sit up in the casket ? I had a friend who worked for a funeral home when he was in college (unfortunately he had a bad heart and is now deceased ). He was helping the director put the person in the casket. They turned away from the casket for a minute and when they turned back around -the person was sitting up in the casket.
Little Miss Funeral I grew up on that street. I know where that is . Use to rollerblade in that parking lot across the street when I was a kid.
I absolutely love the passion you have for this field and how you have a smile on your face despite all of the craziness you go through in a day’s time. I look forward to all of your vlogs whenever one is posted. I have learned quite a lot from you Lauren. Tomorrow, I start at a family owned funeral home in Chicago, and am hoping to start mortuary school in the next year or so hoping that everything goes well with this position. Keep that passion alive, and I’m looking forward to seeing your next vlog! Take care, all the best!
Grant Davis when things get crazy you have to roll with the punches and just remember why you started working in a funeral home! I always laugh at myself even when things get crazy and it helps me a ton. I hope that everything goes well with your job and school in the future!
Little Miss Funeral Thank you so much! It’s been a big interest of mine since I was a teenager but wasn’t quite ready to jump right in after high school. Things take time, and hope everything falls right into place. Thanks for taking the time out of your busy schedule to reply. 😊❤️🙏🏼
Pretty Lady. Just now watched this video from 2 years ago. Wish you would do a current video.
Thanks for the video. I was having a very rough morning, and it's hard to not smile at your upbeat demeanor and smile. I lost a parvo puppy this morning that was brought to me from a family. I did everything I could and bottle fed him and he got vet care and all his medicine.....and I still lost him. Made me so upset. So this did make me smile.
And thanks again for all that you did for me. I'm doing somewhat better. I've started playing the piano or organ for viewings and funerals and it means so much to me to be able to help people in their difficult time and hope the music I play provides comfort to them.
And thank you again for all that you do for families and your kind spirit.
Animal_ Protector thank you for what you do for these animals!!!! Keep your head up and keep moving forward!!
I love these videos! You’re so great at letting all of us a look into your life! I never understood why anyone would want to be in the funeral business, but now I get it. You ha e helped me understand why people get into this industry!! Please keep making videos! 😊😊
Kristin Reynolds thank you!
I do love your videos! You have both compassion and dedication to your job. I really like how you take us along on your daily journey. Holy cow, this was a very busy weekend! I used to do Mortuary Transport, and there were times that it was back-to-back pick ups. And, you still look adorable without make-up! Trust me.
Grant Grindle you’re so nice! I have friends in the business who do transportation and I know sometimes the phone does not stop ringing for them, too! It’s all apart of the job we can just do the best we can :)
I love this channel! It answered so many questions I've had for so long and it's entertaining. I hope you're doing well. Thank you so much for what you do! You're a true hero and I'm sure you hardly ever hear that.
love your blogs your an inspiration i used to work in a crematorium so i know how hard mentally things become but you get satisfaction in the end
Keep doing the vlogs ! You have more energy than I have, I run a small business and I get wore out after 9 hours. Being a funeral director is very hard work! And Polish food is awesome!
Matthew Annis that’s why I drink the coffee 😂
Student here! But I’m also a busy mom and I’m a pro at faking it lol. I used to run out of the house with no makeup on when I was feeling lazy. Now on those day I use 3 things that literally take 2 minutes! B.B. cream, eyelash curler and mascara. Super easy and you can stash some in your desk for emergencies!
Nicole Aquino that is honestly the best advice! I always have lipstick/gloss in my bag but nothing else!
Keep up the good work, Lauren! Kari Northey and yourself have been so helpful in my pursuit of being a funeral director, thank you so much!!
I really enjoy your vlogs. Please continue to upload them? Thank you.
I do like your vlogs. You do a great job and I think you are very thorough and you care about your job and the people you serve Lauren. 😊
Do you stay along at the funeral home ? Like how you explain everything so clearly. Thank you 🙏
Keep that sense of humor up Lauren:) you need it at times...your appearance is fine....keep up the good work:)
gary sansone thank you :)
B;
This is how I feel at the end of the day. I feel your pain 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Love your videos! my name is Lauren also and i'm in school in Manhattan to be a funeral director! Thanks for showing me what i'm getting into!
Taylor Swift good luck with everything!
Im a new subbie and can I just say......I dearly love your channel. You are such a sweetheart.
Absolutely love your video's, so informative!
Cathy Ward thanks!
Your spirit is so awesome!
These vlogs are great...keep up the great work!! Also, Keith is hilarious...I like the times when you have him in your vlogs!
great blog
I enjoy these a lot. Truly shows what you go through. Thanks for sharing. 😀
Paul Thomas thank you!
"Naked face Lauren" is very beautiful... Inside and out.. I enjoy your vlogs so much.. I went to college when my 3 kids started going to college.. also, live in southern IL, very economically oppressive, not a lot of education and good jobs are a pipe dream. Just a little background.. I graduated Magna Cum Lade w a BS in Mortuary Science. After sending out resumes 4 times, several interviews but still no job. I graduated in 2011. After about 4yrs I basically have up on my dream. I'm very good in the lab, very good at restoration.. you're living the life I had imagined! I'm so happy for you and you are super cool!!! 😃 Keep up the great work.. it is a crazy job but you are kicking it, girl!!! I believe this job is a "calling", not many people can do it for various reasons. Angel of mercy when a family is in a crisis. I haven't been willing to move away because this is "home central" for my 3 grown children and grandchildren.. my family is my priority but the disappointment is sometimes hard to handle.. I feel useless because I have such a passion for this job. Just met the owner of a FH way out in the boonies where I now live, and let them know I'm available for night calls, cleaning, whatever. I'm praying that God's will be done in this matter.. I don't want to be in a place/job without feeling it's God's direction because life experience has taught me that it's miserable being in the "wrong" place. (If you get what I mean) A major reason I believe I haven't been hired is my age.. which is one of the things on the list that people are not supposed to discriminate against, but they surely do. (no self pity, just speaking from my heart) I just turned 60 in December but I still chop wood to heat my little house. Guess I'm not an "average" 60yr old! Haha It's just great to come across someone who has the same heart for this service as I do.. it's refreshing! 🙃 Bless you!!! ❤️
Also good point on making connections and friends among families you serve.....our director is very active in our parish and community....he always shakes my hand and asks how I am ....I know I could call him if I ever needed something and I consider him a friend outside of the funeral home and business:)
Your a sweet lady, I'mma have to get you to do my funeral in about 50 or 60 years.. lol

How do you maintain a good balance with your personal and family life when the schedule gets hectic? (:
Can you make a video talking about the hardest funeral to do and things like what is the craziest way someone you've served has died?
It would be interesting to show some of the cemeteries that you do burials in-tombstones.
Love your vlogs! I live in NY too! I’m about 20 minutes north of the city!
Kim Basciano you’re on the other side of the state from me! I’m WNY :)
ur always beautiful no matter how u look
WOW !! Very busy ! Your Vlogs are very interesting.
I know another Keith who was a funeral director. He told if you're double licensed
here in Arkansas you can make good money.
You still look great
does keith stay n a bad mood?
Also I still like the premise of a full casket showroom like it used to be....we like seeing the caskets and there interiors up close to better understand the choices we have:) just don't like the cutout or corner display or buying from a computer screen or book.....just my 2 cents:) thanks again and hope you and Kari northey do another video.....enjoy those:)
I would love to volunteer at a funeral home love the job
So at the beginning of the video you said about having no makeup on and etc. I think it's good. You work so hard at your job and maybe that's why people don't take funeral directors seriously or complain about things as such. You always look your best (yes that's great) but you up a mask on all the time (yeah it's great for a family that have a lost one and for them to cope) but most of the time you are a slave (not saying you hate your job) but sometimes people need to understand that you are always working and this happens. I am going to become a embalmer/ funeral director right now I'm starting school. If I'm tired and I can't feel to put on makeup etc to look my best because I just help 7 different family's plus other stuff I think they can get over it. I'm not a robot I'm a person.
I read a few "can't" statements... :) in the months and years following you may surprise yourself and CAN make it all happen (I've done this 30 yrs and embalm)
Nice to see you great as usual
David Coon thanks!
You really don’t need to be to hard on yourself because you are beautiful even without makeup.
You should do one on pet deaths. I do know that there is a famous "pet cemetery " in New York. I noticed that you're a pet owner-nice black lab.My black lab passed 3 years ago and I have 4 pit bulls ,a beagle and a rat terrier-4 girls and 2 boys.
Licensed funeral directors cannot do animals, by law.
Don't worry, you look great. I love your videos.
Ohio Guy thanks!
Need some advice from you. I would love to start my journey in the funeral business. My grandfather had a funeral home years ago that they have sold. I’m curious to know how to go about getting my foot into a funeral home to see if it something I can definitely handle before going to school. I do have a associates degree in allied health as well as medical assistant license.
Jessica Zerilla I would try to call a couple of local funeral homes in your area and explain your situation to them! They may be open to having you come and shadow them for a few days. It can sometimes be hard to get a job at smaller firms because of the amount of calls that they do, but to be able to have someone follow you around to see if the job is for them or not is different. I had a cousin who had a friend who was a friend of a funeral director. She gave me his number and I called him and explained my situation to him and he agreed to meet me to talk about the funeral business. At the end of that meeting he did offer me a job so you never know! Just put yourself out there and do not lose hope
Little Miss Funeral thank you so much! You’re so inspirational
How do you approach a family that wants a viewing when the death has left their loved one in a less than viewable state? Can you deny the family this opportunity? Is there a line that can't be crossed when a family demands a viewing/open casket? I really enjoy your videos!
Brian Chandler this is actually a really good question and I think I’m going to make a video to answer it
From my experience either the Hospital advise against it or the Funeral Director if they think it will be too traumatic for the Family. They can also arrange for someone to be with you if you really want to see your loved one. Years ago a friend commited Suicide and I was advised not to see him as he died on a Live Railway Line. Always best to take the advise as they know what they are talking about and it can even get to those who work in this line every day!
My dad wouldn’t even let me see my dog when he ran away and got hit by a car when I was in my 20’s so I can’t imagine seeing a family member that was hit, run over, etc. I would never get over that.
U also drink green tea I also drink same
I love watching your vlogs 💕xx
Great vlog! So interesting.
This may be rude but do you enjoy your job? Im asking because i am interested in the funeral industry as a 16 year old im really looking into this as a career. But im wondering if it is 'fun' for you.
enhanced human it’s not rude at all! I do enjoy my job. It’s difficult because I’m working in a sad environment, but you have to laugh and have fun with your coworkers otherwise it can be very depressing. Like anything, there are good and bad days.
I love these vlogs!
Ashley thanks!
You look good.
when Keith just walks out of the vlog. 😂😂😂
Nikki, Mije Smith’s Arch Nemesis he was so DONE lol
Hey the catholic mass church looked similar to my church
Have you ever thought about opening your own funeral home eventually?
Love your lipstick in this video. 😊😉
Need a sticker on your car-I ❤ my Labrador Retriever.
Love These vlogs So much! 😊
Mathilda thank you!
Lauren, quick question. On average, how long does a catholic funeral mass last? I am Baptist, have obviously been to the traditional Christian funeral and I have been to a Mormon funeral which was a little different. I know I will have a Catholic funeral coming up in a few years.
Thanks!
Drew
Is Keith as grumpy as he seems all the time.
You look beautiful Lauren
I really like these videos. :)
Sara Beth Farrow thank you!
While these are always a pleasure Lauren
Looking super cute
Love the video! Keep them coming :)
Adventures with Kate and Chelsey thank you!
Paperwork is job security
Love your vids
The Daily Stress thank you!
You look beautiful without makeup! Try not to be so hard on yourself..
Catman18 you’re so nice!
I like your vlogs even though I live them lol
Brandy I’m sure they just hit so close to home lol
I was just wondering if there has been any deaths that have really gotten to you and you were not able to participate in the funeral? I have lost half of my family in the last 4 years and it’s been hell. I think that I would love to be supportive to other family’s going through the loss of a loved one but I would probably lose it and be an emotional wreck! Especially if it was a young child.
have you ever had a viewing and the deceased bust off a round? (fart) with trapped air and bacteria that isn't removed during prep work. and if it happened was a survivor viewing the stinker in place?
Do you ever get to see your husband???? Really liking the video's, thanks x
I are doing a great job 😊
I usually don't scroll through the comments, so I don't know if it's been asked. Are you able to do a walk through of the funeral home you work in or is that not permitted by the owner?
David Grub the owner unfortunately would not allow me to do a walk through of the funeral home. That’s why every time I vlog I try to just show a wall instead of a more detailed background. Also, even though I do these “day in my life” vlogs, Little Miss Funeral isn’t associated with my employer so that’s why I don’t mention the name of the funeral home.
I figured that was the case. Thanks for the reply. Really enjoy your videos.
I just applied for a removal job at our local funeral home. I've always been very interested in getting into the industry so I figured that would be a good start? Haha... Any advice ma'am?
Todd Bitsilly don’t burn yourself out! Removal jobs can sometimes be difficult, but hopefully your employer has some kind of scheduling (every other weekend off or something like that.) You’ll do great! Just stay positive, get experience and remember what you’re going to be doing is just a small part of the industry so if it’s not for you don’t get discouraged!
Your beautiful
Did you have to go get the bodies and do the prep work on them also along with what you had in the video? 😧
Ann Jutz no I have a trade embalmer who will do 98% of the transfers and all of the embalmings at the funeral home where I currently work. I left a funeral home 5 years ago where I did it all and started working at this current funeral home where I just do “up front” work. I still do a lot of cosmetic work but thankfully I have help with the “back room” stuff!
Little Miss Funeral That's good! I was thinking about how you'd fit that all in with your crazy buddy day. Thanks for the reply.
Ann Jutz doing transfers and embalming would extend my days well into the night. Thankfully, I have help on that side of the business!
pregnancy brain!!! hahaha
You outfits are just fine I enjoy the wisdom you share,by the ,the you are very pretty makeup or not. You should see me you would dead your channel. Keep the knowledge coming respect.
You always seem tired Lauren, what are you going to do when you are 60?
Bob Rossi hopefully have more help at the funeral home lol
Being a funeral director is tiring at any age. Dealing with grief and grieving people on a daily basis can be emotionally draining work but the rewarding feeling that you’re making a difference in their lives makes it so worth all the effort!
I'm sorry, this may be bad, but Keith is kinda hot. Lol
Keith is hot!
