"What Does 'If You See Something, Say Something' Have to do with Ethics and Integrity?"

“Here I am with my bangs” Caitlin knows her brand

[SergGirl]

Wow, a funeral industry scandal that DOESN’T involve the mishandling of copious amounts of human remains? Color me pleasantly surprised.

“It doesn’t help her case that she was married to the infamous body snatcher mortician who was sentenced in 2009” wait she was WHAT

[AndromedaCripps]

Caitlin: Does the "Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk" meme

Also Caitlin: *Has actually done a Ted Talk*

[frankiefrank]

“The answer is E: Capitalism. You should know that!” Caitlin, you’re an absolute queen

[katieluecht]

“Here’s my certificate, which i didn’t know i had, but I found it taped to the side of my fridge.” I found my social security card being used as a bookmark last month, so this comforted me to know other people do weird things with important documents or certificates.

When Caitlin hits 1 mil she should do a forehead reveal

Caitlyn: "Just how deep does the scandal go?"



Me: "Six feet?"

[chrisbrooks]

"Student body" at a mortuary school could have more than one meaning...

[TheLatokuivaaja]

"E. Capitalism" is probably the funniest part in all of this.

There’s been a huge scandal in Paris recently involving about 1000 bodies donated to science but left to rot in horrible conditions... Some were partly eaten by rodents. It was all so gruesome that no pictures could be published. Relatives are going to sue the university Paris-Descartes.

The question about the "religion of the United States" made me so mad as a Jew, like, you can't just say "judeo-christian" in this context because Jewish funerals and mourning traditions are WILDLY different from Christian funerals and mourning traditions! Heck, even a Catholic funeral will be wildly different from a Protestant one! That question is just completely useless!

[stefanodelempicka]

“The answer is ‘e. Capitalism’ you’re the funeral industry. You know that.”

[MaidOfPasta]

“Which I found taped to the side of my fridge” RELATABLE

[Khenfu_Cake]

"The five stages of grief aren't used anymore, and haven't been used for years". Not only that, the five stages of grief weren't actually about grief (from losing a loved one) but about the stages someone who is dying might go through before accepting their soon to come passing. So no wonder it's not used anymore.

I’m in mortuary school now and my teachers are always like “This is the answer for the board exams, but THIS is actually what you do in real life.” CONSTANTLY!!!

The upcoming exam is stressful, outdated and confusing to students and teachers. The guidelines the NBFSE gives teachers is 75% irrelevant to everyday responsibilities as a FD. 😅

Signing an NDA after taking the exam is a little much. They shouldn’t recycle tests- it’s not like we’re taking the MCAT or bar exam... we just want to get out there and serve our families from our hearts!

“I know how to take a test.” Basically American education.

[juliastaat]

I have no interest in funeral services or mortuary science, but I could listen to her talk forever.

[meljstephan]

I literally snorted tea out of my nose at "E. Capitalism". I'll send you my hospital bill for my burnt nostrils.

I found it taped to the side of my fridge.

My life.
