Three Things Your Funeral Home Can Do to Survive the Zombie Apocalypse

1) When the zombies start coming, take down any signs that say “Funeral Home.” IDK. These guys might have some hard feelings about the whole embalming process.

2) Put offroad tires on the hearse. You should do this anyway because it would be cool, but definitely helpful if you’re taking short cuts running away from the zombie flock.

3) Get MemoryShare! Wait … What?

Yep. Here’s why. Chances are the zombie apocalypse will mean spotty WIFI. MemoryShare records livestreams directly to your streaming device (iPad) so you will still have a copy of the service even if the WIFI goes down. That’s right. You can stream through the apocalypse with confidence!

New Bluey Character: Freddie (The Funeral Director)

In a daring move that blends the whimsical with the profound, the beloved children’s show Bluey has taken a leap into uncharted territories with its latest episode, “Blokes Die Too,” featuring the show’s newest character, Freddy the Funeral Director. This episode gently introduces young viewers to the concept of loss and the role of funeral directors, all within the comforting confines of Bluey’s animated world. Freddy, with his distinctive approach to addressing the subject, is designed to demystify the processes around death in a manner that is both engaging and educational for children.

The episode navigates the delicate themes of life, death, and saying goodbye through the story of the Bluey family coming to terms with the loss of their pet bloke. Freddy’s character shines as he guides the family—and the audience—through the intricacies of dealing with grief. His light-hearted yet sincere manner is perfectly captured in one scene where he consoles the family, saying, “Oy mate, sorry to hear about your grandma. Anyway, we’re cremating her body as we speak… she did want to be cremated, right?” This mix of humor and sensitivity exemplifies the show’s unique approach to tough topics.
