THIS DAY IN HISTORY
Batman: The Dark Knight Rises premieres in New York, capping off one of the greatest trilogies in superhero movie history. Do you know who never gets enough credit, though? The Gotham City funeral directors. All these villains are out here killing a bunch of people. Think about who has to take care of all that. Well, here at the FFFW, we appreciate ALL funeral directors – real and fictional. So, we’re saying “thanks” to the Gotham City funeral homes. You’re the best.
GAME TIME!
Batesville has created countless caskets, but how many do they have featured on their website? (Click on your guess.)

REBRAND GREEN FUNERALS
This week, CD put out a great article about the impact green funerals could have on cremation. Now, personally, I am a big fan of green funerals. I’ve told my family and friends that when I die, I’d like to have a natural disposal. It just seems right to me. Like the circle of life and all of that stuff, you know? Anyway, I do think green burial needs some new marketing behind it. So many people are turned off by anything being “green” and that term may come with some misconceptions to some people. So, I present to you some new PSA’s and slogans for green burial.
1) “Yo, turn me into worm food.”
2) “Green burial – like the whole foods of body disposal.”
3) “Become a dandelion.”
There ya go.
COMIC OF THE WEEK
A heartfelt and skin-felt funeral.
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!
