SUMMER SPECTACULAR | FFFW #39 | Connecting Directors

HAPPY JUNE

Summer is officially here. Well, not officially by the world’s standards, but by FFFW standards – it’s officially here! Now summer is the Friday of the seasons. It’s just the best. Fall, winter, and spring all have their perks, but summer, in my correct opinion, is consistently the best. So, today is a little extra awesome, and we’re going to have an awesome time!

GAME TIME!

If the average urn can hold .8 gallons of water, how many urns of water is suggested for yearly consumption? (Click on your guess. If it’s right, you’ll see a GIF of sunscreen. If not, you’ll see a GIF of sunburn.)

HOW TO MAXIMIZE YOUR TIME

You’re very busy. You have to be. This profession doesn’t lend itself to copious amounts of free time and a light workload. So, wouldn’t it be nice to have some backup? Wouldn’t it feel freeing to have people you trust working with your company and brand? Well, DISRUPT Media wants to give you those feelings and so much more.

HOW TO MAKE THIS THE BEST SUMMER AT YOUR FUNERAL

If you take a look around, the world is opening back up and things are looking good. And last summer was a little strange, so this time we gotta do it twice as good. So here are some suggestions to make the next few months the best summer your funeral home has ever had.

1) Dress jorts. That’s right. If you grew up in the south or middle america, then you know that nothing screams “SUMMER” quite like jorts. So take some scissors to those dress pants and start rocking those on the daily. You’ll thank me later.

2) Road trip songs. The best part of any road trip is blaring some BOPS and screaming the lyrics at the top of your lungs. Every hearse driver can bolster this level of an experience.

3) Splash. When I was a senior in high school, there was a great game where people would have random water gun fights. These splash wars could occur anywhere in the county and the winner won some money. I think rival funeral homes should pick up this tradition and battle each other.

Do any of these and you’re guaranteed to have the best summer ever!

COMIC OF THE WEEK

Conventions do have a certain reputation.

YOU OTTER BE PROUD

Let’s be honest, our profession gets a lot of negative press, so we’ve searched the internet to find stories of funeral things getting respect and doing great things!
