A Day In The Life Of A Funeral Director

“I was born at Cabrini Hospital Malvern and when my mother and father brought me home…it was to Tobin Brothers Funerals.”
REAL PEOPLE. REAL STORIES. Meet James MacLeod as he walks you through A Day in the Life as Managing Director of Tobin Brothers Funerals. James describes how he was quite literally born into the industry and as the first Managing Director not in the Tobin family to take on the role.
Central to the imaginative marketing of the Tobin Brothers Funerals brand is his passionate commitment to transparency, driven by his belief that much of what goes on in the industry has been cloaked in a veil of secrecy, now James dispels these myths.

James Mcleod, thank for your expose on the funeral industry. For to long this has been a closed industry of insiders behind the curtain. Love your passion for the industry.

I think that it is the best thing to celebrate life and to make it comfortable and easy on the family remaining alive it is the person's last full measure of devotion

The strangest thi g I've ever seen is where the families keep the deceased in their home in their casket or bed, and take them 3 meals a day for years and years.

[@rhiannongeorge2939]

It's only strange in our cultural context, in theirs it's shameful to put their loved ones under ground, like we're forgetting them where they're keeping them in their daily lives. It's just understanding there's different cultural understandings of death.

Stupid ad.How do one celebrate life when one is deaa...d!

[@LadyCoyKoi]

You celebrate what the person did in life, not focusing on their death. In Asian culture they celebrate the persons' passing due to the end of suffering and struggles, while they cry during the birth of a baby due to that new life of struggles and suffering.
