Ever since Gabrielle Union revealed that her late father’s ashes were scattered in South Africa, social media has been divided.. Some people think it’s a beautiful way to honour someone’s final wishes… while others are asking: Wait, are you even allowed to scatter ashes anywhere you want? Can you scatter ashes at the beach? In a park? At a stadium? In your favourite holiday spot? Or are there actual rules and permissions involved? According to the Department of Health's: “Requirements and Process for the Issuance of Permits to Import and Export Human Remains” We had a similar discussion in 2023 when a lady sent us a voice note asking if she can scatter her husbands ashes in a plant at Spur as he loved eating there… At the time we spoke to General Manager of Funeral Service at AVBOB - Pieter van Der Westhuizen to find out where you are legally allowed to scatter ashes… Hang out with Anele and The Club on 947 every weekday morning.

One thing we know for sure is that we will all need end-of-life planning and services eventually. And while some of us will choose familiar rituals like a traditional burial led by a religious leader, others appreciate having new and different options for honoring loved ones upon their death. Ernie Heffner of Heffner Funeral Chapel and Crematory sits down with Jeffrey Bellomo to discuss evolving funeral service practices that reflect changing cultural and religious norms in our communities. But regardless of whether families choose a traditional or more contemporary approach to saying goodbye, everyone wants a meaningful, personalized remembrance that provides comfort during such a difficult time. We hope you'll join us for this discussion, which also underscores the importance of talking with your family members or a funeral services provider to make sure that your wishes are known ahead of time. This relieves your family of uncertainty, avoids last-minute decisions, and allows for a more healing experience.

40 years ago this month, Christine Pepper walked through the doors of the National Funeral Directors Association for the first time. The profession she entered then looked vastly different from the one we know today. In this episode, Gabe Schauf sits down with the NFDA CEO to mark this significant milestone and look beyond the resume. Christine reflects on her four-decade journey, discussing how she navigated the shift from a male-dominated industry to a workforce increasingly led by women. She shares her perspective on the evolving relationship between funeral directors and the media, the weight of leading through complex times, and her vision for what lies ahead. It is a candid look at the past, present, and future of death care from the person who has had a front-row seat to it all.

Lisa Baue stepped into funeral service as a third-generation funeral director, challenging long-held beliefs about who belonged in the profession. Her story unfolds in the context of a family business—her grandfather’s legacy—where growth was fueled by tradition but also by change. From an early age, Lisa learned the ropes in an industry that rarely welcomed women and often questioned their capabilities. Being told she couldn’t drive a hearse or even be hired because she was a woman became a motivation, not a deterrent. Overcoming these barriers shaped her approach to leadership and advocacy, leading her to create programs like Funeral Women Lead, which lift up others who face similar obstacles. On this episode, Lisa joins Genevieve—the podcast host, President and CEO of the museum—to share her journey, insights, and the real barriers women still face in funeral service. Together, they explore why leadership, wellness, and support networks matter now more than ever. Learn more about Funeral Women Lead. Follow Lisa's podcast 4 Women and a Funeral here. Plan your visit to the museum today at nmfh.org and take a journey through over 30,000 square feet of fascinating history. Subscribe to The Final Curtain Never Closes on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. Key Takeaways 1. The funeral profession often has deep generational roots, as seen in Lisa Baue’s story, but the industry has also evolved significantly over time. Equipment, techniques (like gravity embalming), and even daily customs (living above the funeral home) have changed, reflecting broader shifts in professional practice and societal expectations. Honoring these histories is important for understanding—and progressing—the field. 2. Although funeral directing was historically male-dominated, women now represent a growing proportion of new professionals. Nevertheless, women still face significant gender-based obstacles: lack of opportunities, pay inequity, stereotypes, and outright discrimination (such as not being allowed to drive hearses or lead in associations). The push for gender equity is ongoing, highlighting the need for both advocacy and supportive communities. 3. There’s a clear need for leadership training, mentorship, and intentional support structures to empower women in the funeral profession. Programs like the Funeral Women Lead Leadership Academy and Wellness Summit aim to build confidence, grow leadership skills, and create networks to support career advancement. Emphasizing emotional intelligence, resilience, and community, these initiatives are crucial for real change. 4. Funeral service is a demanding, emotionally charged career with long hours and unique stresses, making self-care and work-life balance essential. Women, in particular, often bear the double load of caregiving both at work and at home, making burnout a critical issue. Leadership must prioritize staff well-being—not just customer care—if the field wishes to retain and nurture its talent. 5. The conversation underscores the importance of advocacy for women—both self-advocacy and systemic support. Encouragement to “do it anyway” in the face of adversity, the sharing of educational resources, and the call for more women in leadership and ownership positions all highlight the broader movement to transform the industry. Building strong, diverse, and supportive communities is seen as the key to true progress and equality in funeral service.

AP correspondent Haya Panjwani reports on the funeral for fashion designer, Giorgia Armani, who died Thursday
It's Thursday, September 4th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Sudanese police interrupt funeral service to arrest 5 Christians Police in Sudan disrupted a funeral prayer meeting last month to arrest five Christians. The Christians are South Sudanese. Police have been targeting Ethiopian and South Sudanese nationals for deportation as civil war rages in Sudan. Muslim extremists in the country are also calling for officials to arrest South Sudanese Christians in particular. A local church leader told Morning Star News, “There is a growing fear among the South Sudanese Christians. So, they remain indoors in order to avoid being arrested.” Please pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ in Sudan. The Northeast African nation is ranked fifth on the Open Doors World Watch List of the most difficult countries to be a Christian. Sudanese landslide killed 1,000 people Speaking of Sudan, the country suffered one of its worst natural disasters in recent history. On Sunday, a landslide wiped out the village of Tarasin in the western region of Darfur. Only one person survived, leaving an estimated 1,000 people dead. The landslide came after weeks of heavy rainfall in the mountainous region. Getting aid to the area is already difficult due to the ongoing civil war. In recent years, Sudan's conflict has generated what is considered the world's largest humanitarian crisis. 25.9 million digital Bible downloads in 2024 The United Bible Societies Fellowship reached 240 countries and territories with millions of copies of the Bible last year. The Fellowship of Bible Societies facilitated 25.9 million digital Bible downloads in 2024. This outpaced full Bible printings for the first time. The fellowship distributed 22.5 million printed Bibles last year. It also distributed 8.6 million printed New Testaments and over 118 million printed portions of Scripture. Brazil led the way in printed and digital distribution, followed by India, China, Nigeria, and the Philippines. Brazilian homeschool mom lost her case in court Earlier this week, a Brazilian court heard a case of a mom prosecuted for homeschooling her son. Regiane Cichelero was facing fines of $20,000 and threats of losing custody of her child, for daring to choose home education on religious grounds. Alliance Defending Freedom International has taken up the case. Her legal counsel, Julio Pohl, points out that “No parent should fear state punishment for choosing to homeschool their child. Regiane made a lawful and conscientious decision to teach her son at home. We are hopeful that the court will affirm her rights and take an important step toward protecting parental rights in Brazil.” Sadly, Cichelero lost the case. She was ordered to re-enroll her child in Brazilian public school and ordered to pay the equivalent of $20,000 for not complying. She said, “We will take the case to the Supreme Federal Court and from there, if we continue to receive a ‘no,' we will take it to the Inter-American Court of Human Rights.” She had a special message for the Christian homeschoolers who have been praying for her. Cichelero said, “To you who prayed, my sincere thanks. Remember, prayers never return empty. The Lord is sovereign over all things. The Lord has called us for this time, for this cause, for this moment. We are writing history. … He is still the God who controls everything. He has not abandoned us!” US military strike kills 11 Venezuelan terrorists in boat with narcotics The United States conducted a military strike on Tuesday on a drug boat from Venezuela. On Truth Social, President Trump wrote, “The strike occurred while the terrorists were at sea in International waters transporting illegal narcotics, heading to the United States. The strike resulted in 11 terrorists killed in action.” Listen to comments from President Trump. TRUMP: “On the boat, you had massive amounts of drugs. We have tapes of them speaking. It was massive amounts of drugs coming into our country to kill a lot of people. Everybody fully understands that. In fact, you see it, you see the bags of drugs all over the boat. And they were hit obviously. They won't be doing it again. And I think a lot of other people won't be doing it again when they watch that tape. We have to protect our country, and we're going to.” President Trump said the terrorists belonged to Tren de Aragua. The Venezuelan gang is responsible for mass murder, drug trafficking, sex trafficking, and acts of violence. Trump supports Christian pregnancy centers The Trump administration is supporting Christian pregnancy centers in New Jersey in a case before the U.S. Supreme Court. First Choice Women's Resource Centers is challenging New Jersey's unconstitutional investigation into its operations. Erin Hawley, Senior Counsel with Alliance Defending Freedom, said, “New Jersey's attorney general is targeting First Choice—a ministry that provides parenting classes, free ultrasounds, baby clothes, and more to its community—simply because of its pro-life views. The Constitution protects First Choice and its donors from demands by a hostile state official to disclose their identities.” 50% of Congress are people of Biblical principle The Christian Employers Alliance released their new report card on U.S. Congressional leaders. The index scores lawmakers on a 0-to-100 scale based on their alignment with Biblical principles. Republicans tended to score better than Democrats. Of the 535 members of Congress, half scored 50% or better. Margaret Luculano is the president of the Christian Employers Alliance. She told the Washington Examiner, “Our faith is the foundation of how we live and lead, and lawmakers need that same compass as they face complex policies. That's why we launched the Biblical Business Index — a first-of-its-kind tool bringing together theologians and policy experts to connect Scripture with today's legislation.” Wisdom says in Proverbs 8:15, “By me kings reign, and rulers decree justice.” Gen Z & Millennials attend church more often than older Americans And finally, the Barna Group released new research from its ongoing State of the Church initiative. The report found Christians from younger generations are attending church more frequently than before. They also attend more often than Christians from older generations. Churchgoers from Gen Z attend 1.9 times per month, while Millennials attend 1.8 times per month. The average for U.S. churched adults is 1.6 per month. Also, Gen Z and Millennial churchgoers attend nearly twice as much as they did in 2020. Psalm 122:1 says, “I was glad when they said to me, ‘Let us go into the house of the LORD.'” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, September 4th, in the year of our Lord 2025.

Episode 374: On a frigid February night in 2020, the quiet streets of Calgary's Bowness neighbourhood became the scene of a tragedy that would send shockwaves through the city and beyond. Melissa Rae Blommaert, a loving mother and devoted friend, was found fatally injured—her life stolen in a brutal act of violence.
