THE HOLIDAYS ARE UPON US
I know some think it’s too early to really start celebrating the holidays. To those people, let me say- I disagree! The FFFW is all about having fun and spreading some joy, and that’s exactly what the holidays do. So, just a warning- we’re gonna be a little Christmasy for the next upcoming weeks. But, don’t worry, we’re not skipping Thanksgiving. In fact, the week after next we’ll be doing our Thanksgiving special. So, if you’re someone who likes celebrating a little early, I got you and the FFFW supports that. Now, if you’re someone who’s not quite in the spirit, that’s also okay, we’ll work with you on it. Now before we bite into the bulk of this wrap, I just want to start a little countdown.
Fridays left before Thanksgiving: 2
Fridays left before Christmas: 7
Let’s go!
GAME TIME!
Hallmark is making 41 all-new original holiday movies for 2021. In the United States, if you asked 41 people if they wanted burial or cremation- how many would say cremation?
100,000 WHAT?
100,000 of anything is a lot.
- 100,000 seconds is equal to 27.7 hours.
- 100,000 days is equal to 273.9 years.
- 100,000 miles is equal to the length of the USA (coast to coast) 33 times over.
So, that’s why it’s awesome when we tell you that Parting Pro’s funeral homes have had over 100,000 families use their online arranger. That’s proof that it works, and it works well! They have a mission to skyrocket your cremation business without forcing you to hire any new employees. See for yourself how Parting Pro can work for you!

BEST HOLIDAY SUITS
Now is the perfect time to get your outfit ready for Christmas. With delays in shipping and shortages throughout the US, it’s probably best that you order anything you need delivered ASAP. So, I’ve saved you the time of looking and I found the best holiday-themed Christmas suits. I know how much dude funeral directors like their suits, so I kept it in your comfort zone! These are perfect for the office party or maybe even a festive-themed life celebration.

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!
