THE WRIGHT TIME

They say Red Bull gives you wings… I don’t know about that. Normally it gives me the shakes and a case of heartburn. What I do know is that on this day in 1903, the Wright brothers took some wings into the sky and flew the first “flying machine.” Being an Ohio boy, I appreciate the day that a couple of other Ohio boys changed the world. Fun fact though, the first flight only lasted 12 seconds. That’s it! However, those 12 seconds were enough to inspire them and to show that the impossible was indeed possible. Pretty cool, right? Just think, I’ve spent way more time than that just typing this intro and it’s way less impactful. Like in one-sixth of a minute they changed the way we travel and I’ve spent five minutes trying to think what GIF should go with this. Oh well, I guess it’s al-WRIGHT!

Fridays left before Christmas: 1

Let’s go, folks!

GAME TIME!

Christmas movies and stories are all about death and the un-dead. (Ooooh spooky) So, how many ghosts are in the classic “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens?

BECOME A 5-STAR FUNERAL HOME


Do you want reviews that look like this? These are just a small sample of 5-star reviews left for Parting Pro’s customers.

“It was a very positive experience from start to finish! The prices are reasonable, and the service is wonderful. I really appreciated the fact that I was able to do all of the paperwork online in advance.”

“The website was simple to navigate, and I liked that I could sort through all various options when making a decision. I did everything online, and it was quick and easy!”

“We could not have been more pleased with the entire experience. From start to finish, they were gracious, understanding, sympathetic, and followed through on everything they said they would. A family-owned business and they made us feel like family!”

“Yes! I would love that!” – You (hopefully)

Great! With Parting Pro, families can pay for services and complete forms online, saving both you and them valuable time. Once they see how easy it is to work with you, they can’t help but share the news.

See for yourself how Parting Pro can mirror online the positive reputation you’ve earned in your community!

Ugly Christmas Ties

For men in the funeral profession, ties are a big deal. And I know around this time of year, people are wearing ugly Christmas sweaters, but what about some ugly Christmas ties? I scoured the internet and found the best ones. Maybe you can get some inspo for the big weekend coming up!

  1. Can I have your Grandma’s style?

2) It’s a major award!

3) Thicker than a Snicker

COMIC OF THE WEEK

Friends don’t let friends dive into a cremation.


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!
1) ​​Highland Park Funeral home donates $10,000 to Corey’s Network
2) Funeral director who saved woman from jumping to her death urges people to seek help for mental health
