We are a people who deeply fear death. While humans are biologically wired to evade death for as long as possible, we have become too adept at hiding from it, vilifying it, and-when it can be avoided no longer-letting the professionals take over.
Sixth-generation funeral director Caleb Wilde understands this reticence and fear. He had planned to get as far away from the family business as possible. He wanted to make a difference in the world, and how could he do that if all the people he worked with were . . . dead? Slowly, he discovered that caring for the deceased and their loved ones was making a difference-in other people’s lives to be sure, but it also seemed to be saving his own. A spirituality of death began to emerge as he observed:
• The family who lovingly dressed their deceased father for his burial
• The act of embalming a little girl that offered a gift back to her grieving family
• The nursing home that honored a woman’s life by standing in procession as her body was taken away
• The funeral that united a conflicted community
Through stories like these, told with equal parts humor and poignancy, Wilde offers an intimate look into the business and a new perspective on living and dying.
As a funeral director we try to make sure that your loved one is looked after as if they are a member of our own , and we do our best to make sure we do that job well .
A lot of people are afraid to die ... because some people are not sure what will happen afterwards... his speech was sweet and powerful and he made me so much at peace
I am a mortician and I tell you this, be afraid of the living and not the dead. The dead has no life and are only a shell. The living are the ones to fear.
Franklin Culbreth ...I heard my momma say that so many times when she was living. What you say is so true.
amen
you believe in heaven ,remember nothing exist without a Atom (except )light ,gravity ,heat or energy = your believe is not in it
Franklin Culbreth I agree with you.
Their spirit has left its mortal self
Confessions? What confessions? Stories, yes. But what confessions? The title makes it look like they've done something bad and they're confessing. Am I disappointed? Maybe. LOL!
We are all disappointed, that's why we All took the "Click Bait"😂😂😂😂😂😶 I thought that he was going to confess about how they rip us off, dumping the bodies out of the caskets into the ground (when everyone leaves) right before they steal any expensive jewelry left on the corpse. .....Guess I have trust issue. Lol😀😁😂😩
Bec you're too shallow that's y u don't understand what he says......only deep people can understand what he is talking about......narrow people will never understand his confessions about life and death
It caught your attention ( Confessions )
Chevy obviously you have not received the call from GOD to repent and confess your sins..or you have and rejected I will pray for you

He seems like a fine young Christian man. I have his book and have yet to finish it. Best of luck to you, Sir.
Wow, I wasn't expecting that! What a beautiful speech, thank you Sir for that and God bless!
Death puts life in perspective. Make sure you're ready to meet your Maker before you breathe your last... "For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun." Ecclesiastes 9:5-6
If this guy isn’t the most amazing spokesperson for the funeral industry, I don’t know who is.

That's very true,
I'm not even in the funeral business,
But I want to be creamated,go back to which I was created.
Burial in ground is a pagan.ritual
Look at all these desaster happing,
U see coffins floating when the floods happen,
That's sad
WOW! The "most amazing spokesperson for the funeral industry"? Seriously? That's quite an endorsement after watching a two and a half minute video of some guy trying to sell a book.

I commend you for doing what you do. I am absolutely terrified to be around a dead person. I walk in a funeral home, I almost pass out. I am a surgical nurse, so blood N guts don't bother me. It's just a bad fear I think a lot of us have. I wish I weren't like this.
You, know, I've always wanted to be a undertaker!, embalmer! Nice, video! 👍
I wanted to marry one
The book was OK. Stories were from blog. I want more of Caleb's writing.
I read your book😎 I too work in the death industry.....at a crematorium actually.....we work in a hugely spiritual place..... really enjoyed your writing about it...
Fabulous book filled with stories to certainly help the grieving process. It answers questions that we all have. Thanks you Caleb--maybe book two?
You called yourself a christian, why do you charge people so much money for a simply funeral, Its really is a shame how funerals homes over charge people at their most vulnerable time in their lives!!
You pay doctors for their services don't you?
I'm donating my body to science!! Win win.
@@Gemelli2906 My mother did that; but I have always wondered whether she chose that because she secretly felt that none of her children would've been able (and/or willing) to pay to see that she got a proper funeral/burial. :\ As it was, the ashes from her cremated remains (afterwards) were being kept by my older sister; and they were lost when her storage unit got repossessed due to non-payment of rent. So I guess in a way that came true.
@@ThatClassic70sGirl I just can't see putting my family in debt. My ashes will be put out to sea. It's the last part of my life I have control over. It dosnt make sense to me to spend $10 grand to put me in a box and stick my remains in the ground. 😢morbid
I loved working in the funeral home. I miss it so much. It brought me so much peace
I know that's crazy to here
Growing up around death must of been interesting. I think this guy is awesome!
Well, cared for them professionally.
God Jesus and Heaven And Hell Are Real God Bless Him And All Those he has been around.
Hell is not real. God told me so.
I already preordered this book! Can't wait :)
How much was it is it any good
What is the name of the book and where can you get it at
Personally I like the job, but how do I start the job🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Jesus Christ said IAm the Resurrection and the Life
Amen
Amen 🙏
Jesus never said that. Monks made it up.
I agree Fred.
Jesus did say that look it up
It's just a dead end job man
😊😂😊🤣😊
A book? You should have made a movie.
With all do respect I don’t want to read the book I want to watch more damn this was good
Very heartfelt said
Wonderful spoken short message. Life death and Now Back to GOD.ALM8GHTY!! THEN WHERE? ONLY TWO PLACES REVELATION TELLS US.. THE NEW HEAVEN AND THE TOREMENTING HELL. THAT AWAITS THE EVIL ONES..SO REALIZE? WE LIVE,. THEN WE DIE. THATS NOT THE END..😳 A NEW CHAPTER STARTS.... ITS NO FAIRY TALE...OUR LIFE WAS LOAN TO US FOR A TIME.. ECCL.3 : 1-2. And Rev. 21:1- I WANT TO BE SAFE IN HIS ARMS FOREVER...EMMANUEL...
What did he confess?
LOL
I read his book, it was good.
Do you know your great grandfathers middle name. No? So know this. In 50 years after your death only a few close family members will remember you and your life on earth. After 100 years unless you are written into the history books virtually no one will remember or know of your life here on earth. It will be as if you never existed. Do not dwell on this world but prepare for eternal life with our creator.
I admire you young man. When I went off to mortuary college, I ran into students that felt an obligation to service; a family obligation to keep the business in the family; surprisingly, some of them wanted nothing to do with it...may God's blessings keep you and your need for service in his care.
I have always been fascinated with death, dying or NDE. As a Christian I always wanted to know what it is like to make the transition from this world to the heavenly relm. I worked in the medical field and have seen people pass and you can tell when their spirit is leaving their body, I saw it with my mother. The sparkle left her eyes. But, we won't really know till we go through it but I believe we can have peace. Ps 23.
As a funeral director myself, I cringed when he painted the nails over the deceased woman's garment. Way tooo risky.
Very insightful video, thanks.
I wish he'd make more videos.
Same. He’s awesome!!
Alisha Roxanne ..... Easy on the eyes too....
Can someone tell me how to subscribe? I've subscribed to other people's channels, but how do I get the messages? Thank you.
Jesus said to his disciples some of you wont even taste death. In another place in the bible it says the "Sting of death".
Opened my eyes to the truth no fear now thank u
Dying is easy except for the discomfort of the process . Living is hard in the struggle for life , one must persevere to endure . The actual condition of the dead is recorded at Psalm 146:4+Ecclesiastes 9:5,6&10 . From dust humans are and to dust they become .
Sometimes I think it’s not a bad life. The owners of the family run funeral home in my area drive around in G wagons and send their kids to private school
I’m going back home
But death is only the step to our next phase of living, folks....
Excellent video
A crummy commercial? Son of a bitch!
The book was fantastic and I hope to hear him speak in person this week. Just reread the book again in preparation of that and it still held as many valuable lesson the second time reading it.
Very nice.
A terrible job , fucked up business sad stories
Death has no fear if we know our SaviourJesus Christ..Gods word says we are only sleeing until Christ returns
What about when Christ told the man on the cross, "This day shalt thou be with Me in Paradise"?
Awesome.
Music's too loud.
Be very scared of the living for they can truly instill fear ,but the dead have no spirit no life no thoughts, no movement.
how do you know
We all have a spirit life now and after death an
eternal life depending on what we choose. Caleb Wilde does an excellent job
expressing and showing what a funeral director does. What book did he write; it
is not mentioned in this video.
Everyone has a spirit, but at death, it sleeps until the Judgment.
OMG OMG PLEASE LOOK AT THE 40-44 second mark. Somewhere around that time... the picture on the wall behind the sink.... closes it’s eyes! THIS IS INSANE PLEASE LOOK I NEED TO KNOW IM NOT CRAZY
Wow dude even paints the fingernails lol
What confessions? You confessed nothing. I know someone just like you and if you grew up as a child and throughout your life in a funeral home then you had a lifetime of learning how to exploit grieving people in their most vunerable moments. So, instead of trying to sell a book, how about some REAL confessions.
I know someone has to do this, but it’s not me and it’s not just that it’s working with the dead, it’s the sadness.
Rejoice when they leave this Rock...Cry when someone comes into the world.
I agree with you.
Beautiful! Spot on!
Did you and montell collab ?
Wow Your voice, It is one to be heard.
Thanks for the beautiful presentation, about being an undertaker, very impressed. 🌹
I'm a funeral assistant and I love my job.
Yeah. Take all the familys money to bury someone.
Death just hangs heavy in the air
That person had to be pretending for the vid because I shrieked when he touched her hands.
Bravo 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
maybe you're a poet, not a funeral director
The last guy to put ya down
All to sell a stupid book
As studying mortuary as i go to each funeral home when i have family or friends pass away i treat each funeral director / mortician with respect, it takes someone with a good heart to do this job and for me having anxiety it will not be easy but i can not wait to get on the job and help each and every grieving family and hope to make the grieving process easier for them by embalming the body the best i can
I want a green burial, no embalming.
WickedTornado has
Rrrrrrrrrrrryiop.
How did I get here??
what book? i want to order it too what's the name?
THIS VIDEO LEFT ME WITH MORE QUESTIONS THAN ANSWERS........YIKES I DONT TRUST THIS PEOPLE.....EWWW DISTURBING HIS DISTURBING...
Awesome job !!!! Just a question??? Why are you still using a bucket for the drainage receptacle and why didnt you place a sheet on the body before leaving ?
her nails were still wet.
@@marymorris8442 that's when you put the hands over the sheet and a towel under them. 😓😓😓
Gloves, mask and all other p.p.e. Covid 19 lives and dies in the lungs. The mouth, eyes and nose should be covered.
Great book :)
Live life to the full. Death is final and there is no coming back as that unique person so treasure your living family and friend's.
The best thing about death is it levels the rich and powerful and brings to an end the harm they cause.
I think we would be horrified to see what many people would evolve into if they held such power for centuries.
I want to be one
Death. The 4 last things. Death, judgement, heaven and hell we should meditate on daily. It's our common end. Prepare.
We should pray everyday.And b saved.Thats the only way!!
Thank you brother for what you do!! You said it right looking at deth to life.
DEATH BECOMES A NEW AWARENESS.......👽🌹😇🙏💖
Awesome! Especially, last line.
I have been around death most of my life. From the time I joined the Marines and got sent to Viet Nam till I came home and became a Los Angeles Policeman. I worked what they called a K-Car and would respond to every kind of death imaginable. I did this for 14 years. There is nothing pretty about death, I came to hating my job and finally retired. I have seen so many autopsy's and even some bodies being embalmed. Both are horrific desecration's of a body. Having seen all this I've made a decision to never allow this to happen to me. I have requested immediate cremation when I die. I want none of my family members to see me after I die. I don't want that to be the last vision they have of me.
Your feelings are understandable, considering your life experiences. But the Bible describes the transition from physical death to eternal life as a seed of wheat being sown in the ground; i.e., that we are sown as a physical body, but raised as a spiritual body. While cremation is not directly referenced, in all the examples it relates of God's people after their passing, they were either buried in the ground or interred above ground in tombs (analogous to our modern-day mausoleums).
P.S. Thank you for your service, both in the military and in law enforcement. They're tough jobs that not everyone can do.
Donating my body to Medical Science. They will go to hell in gasoline drawers, if the dead are disrespected.
We will not all be dressed up, but we all have someplace to go.
I grew up to in funeral home
dude
Beautiful...
So what's the confession here??
We fear death because of the conditions like pain.
Ú
But I tell you this The Dead Know nothing
Why don't you show a video after core get Stan harvesting parts why don't you show video I hope you're using a trocar on human body I think you turn a lot of people off of embalming and a funeral business in general people be going for more natural burials or cremation
if someone is waiting a week or so for a funeral and they want it done, its not hurting me or you, last 2 burials I had to take care of in my family were cremated , much easier and cleaner to me
Click bait
Why always a book
Bab
The book almost scared me to death. I was frozen with rigor mortis and I stiffened up with every cold word written. I had to decompose myself....ah, I mean compose myself with each chapter. I had to wire my jaw shut to keep from shouting out to dead ears and in the end I felt drained.
Lol
Why? Was it too difficult to resist your necrophilic tendencies?
I remember as a child this neighbor owned a hearse and the vehicles curtains would be open 24/7 365. Even though there was no body and it wasn't used for intended purpose I still avoided that yard everyday....
Ghoul
Bla bla bla...
Amazing guy
Find a song It All depends on Linda
What?
By turning the light off in the embalming room he perpetuates the DEATH NEGATIVE NARRATIVE. It was as though he was showing the viewers that he is not scared of the deceased and forgot that that little scene is portrayed over and over by Hollywood and the like to create horror and anxiety. Besides, the chosen music is suspenseful and terrifying at best.
something
Did he just turn the lights out on somebody who was dead?😂
