What really happens after someone dies, and why does it feel so overwhelming for families? In this Senior Matters Podcast episode, Mark E. Wight, host and estate planning attorney and Brian Ownings. Funeral Director of Summers Funeral Home, pull back the curtain on the funeral industry to explain the professional standards, legal requirements, and operational processes that begin immediately after a death. From hospital and hospice coordination to documentation, cremation procedures, and family decision-making, funeral professionals play a critical role during one of life's most vulnerable moments. We also explore how modern culture's avoidance of death has changed the way families grieve, why funeral costs can escalate so quickly, and how a lack of planning often leads to conflict and stress for loved ones. Most importantly, this conversation highlights why funeral pre-planning is not about death, but about protecting family members from emotional and financial burden. This episode is especially relevant for Idaho families who want clarity, peace of mind, and a better understanding of how end-of-life planning fits into a complete estate plan.

In today's episode with Karen Roldan, a licensed funeral director, embalmer, and the creator of Behind the Funeral, to pull back the curtain on one of the most misunderstood industries in our lives — death care. With nearly twenty years of experience and a deep respect for the families she serves, Karen brings honesty, compassion, and clarity to conversations many of us avoid until we're forced to have them. As a graduate of Worsham College of Mortuary Science and a licensed professional in funeral services, cremation, pre-need planning, and cemetery property, Karen offers a rare insider perspective on what really happens behind the scenes after a death. Through Behind the Funeral, Karen is changing how we talk about grief, funerals, and end-of-life planning — dismantling myths, answering hard questions, and humanizing a profession often surrounded by fear and silence. In our conversation, we explore what families should know before making arrangements, why transparency matters in death care, and how understanding the process can bring peace during some of life's most difficult moments. This episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating loss, planning ahead, or simply wanting a more honest and informed relationship with death — because the conversations we avoid are often the ones that heal us most.   Episode Highlights The Death-Positive Movement Transparency in the Funeral Industry End-of-Life Planning for Millennials & Gen X Normalizing Conversations About Death Grief Education vs Grief Avoidance Ethical Funeral Practices Pre-Planning Funerals & Cremation Humanizing the Death-Care Profession Funeral Industry Myths Debunked Emotional Support During Funeral Planning Death Literacy & Public Education Digital Memorials & Modern Grief Rituals Consumer Advocacy in Funeral Services Trauma-Informed Death Care Cultural Shifts in How We Honor the Dead funeral director insights death care industry explained behind the funeral process funeral planning guide cremation vs burial explained end-of-life planning education funeral myths and truths grief and funeral services death care transparency licensed funeral director advice pre-need funeral planning what happens after death funeral costs explained compassionate funeral care talking about death and grief modern funeral practices behind the scenes funeral home death positive movement understanding cremation process how funerals really work   Know Karen Roldan Visit behindthefuneral.com to learn more. karen@behindthefuneral.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/karenroldanaasfsp/   Did you enjoy today's episode?   Welcome to New Ways Barre.

What's the episode about? In this episode, hear Professor Douglas Davies on thedevelopment of death studies, ‘words against death', the ‘dividual', religion, ‘sacred secrets', the ‘opacity of the self' and the ‘curated everything', keeping a dream diaries since 1979, the over-optimism of posthumanism, wealth inequality, & the privilege of intellectuals as ‘people who think'.Who is Douglas? This introduction to Douglas Davies was written by DrGeorgina Robinson, who awarded Douglas with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2025 Death, dying and Disposal Conference in Utrecht, the Netherlands. Douglas Davies is a name known to all who work in theinterdisciplinary field of Death Studies. From early career scholars, fresh in the field, through to senior colleagues who have themselves deeply influenced the field, the stories that people tell of their experiences of Douglas are always warm and encouraging, yet unique to the individual: the time and careDouglas gives to all who encounter him is a true testament of his character.  As a founding member of ASDS and editorial board member ofMortality Douglas has always offered a home to Death Studies scholars, having hosted numerous Death Studies events, including the International Conference onthe Social Context of Death, Dying, and Disposal and the inaugural International Symposium of the Death Online Research Network (DORS#1), as well as events for funerary professionals, including numerous Summer Schools of theNational Association of Funeral Directors.  Alongside these external events, Douglas has also welcomedcountless students, researchers, and professional colleagues to Durham during his time as Director of Durham University's Centre for Death and Life Studies through visiting professorships, library scholarships to work in the Archivesof the Cremation Society of Great Britain, alongside conferences hosted by the Centre. What is unique about Douglas is that despite his countless works whichhave deeply influenced scholarly thinking within the field, more often than not, it is a conversation or engagement with him that sticks with Death Studies scholars: his kindness and encouraging nature are second-to-none.  Nevertheless, the significant impact that his countlessworks have had – both academically and practically, with his work impacting policy changes and the funeral sector itself – must not be understated (e.g., Mors Britannica, 2015; Death, Ritual and Belief, 3 editions 1997, 2002, 2017;Natural Burial, 2012; A Brief History of Death, 2005; Theology of Death, 2008). Significantly, 2025 marks 50 years of Douglas's career in academia: how fitting that the association he was formative in establishing would award him with thehonour of Lifetime Achievement Award this year. How do I cite the episode in my research and reading lists? To cite this episode, you can use the following citation: Davies, D.

(Jul 29, 2025) Being a funeral director is kind of like being a social worker — for both the dead and the living. We hear about life as a funeral director in Boonville, part of our North Country at Work series. Also: The North Country's only Democratic lawmaker in Albany announced he's resigning at the end of August.

Who cares for those who care for the grieving? While first responders were celebrated during the pandemic, funeral directors—our last responders—quietly carried the burden of death. How can we minister to these unsung heroes of compassion?

(00:00 - 3:01) It's Tuesday! We're starting to think summer is never going to show up, the cold weather and rain is really killing the summer vibes. (3:01 - 7:01) The road trip season is near, are you a pee before you go, or do you hold it. If you do the latter, you're doing it right. Peeing before you go is bad for your pelvic floor. (7:01 - 13:23) A woman was going to funerals of people who she didn't know, just to be closer to the Funeral Director. She did it so much that they're now together! Bob wants to be a Funeral Director, but LBF shut that down quickly saying "Bob you'd have to go to school for that." Bob is officially out now.

Today, I speak with Ben Schmidt, a licensed funeral director and content creator. I ask him questions about what happens after you die, how the body is prepared for last rites, and what families should expect during the process. We also delve into the case of Kendrick Johnson—the teen who died under mysterious circumstances in a gym mat—and the condition in which his body was returned to his family. We really get into the weeds, nerding out on the details surrounding embalming and cremation. I even ask Ben about the pros and cons of smoking formaldehyde. Ben shares some fascinating scientific insight into the embalming process, especially in the first 20 minutes. Personally, I love the level of detail, but don't worry—we mix up the topics regularly throughout the episode.
