Hey, do you know what today is? It’s a drum major’s favorite day- March fourth! Ha, that’s for the dad joke enthusiasts out there.


Which funeral adjacent word was used this week as an answer to the popular online game Wordle?
a) Death
b) Mourn
c) Ashes


Ready to Increase Revenue in 2022?

Let’s face it, after the past couple of years, you probably want to be on a vacation. Yes, you probably want to be on sunny shores, wearing a floral shirt while drinking out of a coconut. Actually, we really want that for you, but…

Before you do all that- you need to increase your revenue.

That’s where Parting Pro comes in.

​​Parting Pro users are converting more price shoppers, selling more merchandise, increasing efficiency with digital forms, and generating more positive reviews. To see how much they can help you, they’ve developed an ROI calculator so you can see for yourself what Parting Pro will do for your business.

Let’s go get that coconut!


My Pitch to Marvel

It is no surprise to anyone that has read the FFFW for any length of time that I’m a pretty big fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I’ve seen every movie, some more than once, and I’m always in line to buy a ticket when one of their heroes takes up the silver screen. Part of why I’m such a fan is because these movies not only show the mighty fighters in battle, but they show their human side and the effects their actions have on the civilian world around them.

So… I think we need a show or movie about a funeral home in this battle-filled universe.

When half the universe was snapped out of existence, did people do memorial ceremonies? When aliens attacked New York, how did the funeral directors handle all that business? Like these are things that would make for really interesting television/cinema.

But, I guess funeral directors are used to being behind-the-scenes, even in fake universes.

Just know, those of us at The FFFW see you- and we appreciate you!


Comic of the Week

Something for everyone.


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) Ottawa funeral home helps families celebrate the lives of loved ones
2) Batesville Announces Education Series
