DISCLAIMER: None of the F’s in FFFW stand for “facts.” Enjoy the satire.

Happy January 26th. If you’re like me, you probably woke up and said, “Man, I bet nothing cool or semi-cool has ever happened on January 26th.” And let me tell you … That’s false. Now, as I researched this day I realized that a lot of terrible things have happened, but there’ve also been some great things. So here’s a few:

1) It’s Wayne Gretzkey’s birthday (1961)
2) Phantom of the Opera opened (1988)
3) Michigan became a state(1836)

So there you go. This day has some history. Let’s make some more.

“You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take. -Wayne Gretzky”
– Michael Scott


Three Things You Don’t Want to Hear at a Funeral

1) “He wasn’t YOUR husband. He was my husband!”
2) “Are bodies supposed to smell like that?”
3) “Our livestream is having some issues today.”

Decent morals and proper embalming can solve the first two- but MemoryShare is the company that can solve the third. If you can operate an iPad then you can operate MemoryShare without any issues.

Plus, MemoryShare records the livestream to your device while you’re streaming. When the services ends, the recording is immediately available. You can also trim and upload the video for those who missed the livestream.

See how MemoryShare helped Stevens Funeral Home increase monthly call volume.


Four Celebrities Who Worked in Deathcare

Danny DeVito: Before Hollywood fame, DeVito styled hair for corpses in a mortuary, showcasing his early knack for unconventional roles.

Whoopi Goldberg: Goldberg, an Oscar winner, once beautified the deceased as a mortuary beautician, blending compassion with skill.

Christopher Walken: With a unique voice and screen presence, Walken’s early work in a funeral home added depth to his later acting roles.

Mick Jagger: Before rocking stages, Jagger flirted with the funeral business, revealing an unexpected side to the Rolling Stones frontman.


Trivia

If you click the right answer you’ll get a GIF of a puppy. If you click wrong, you’ll get something else.
