Q: What is one of the biggest changes
you have seen during your almost 50-year
career as a funeral director?
A:
When I came to work with my
father, of blessed memory, it was rare
for someone to die at home. Even if
a death took place there, an individual
would often be taken to a hospital to be
pronounced dead. With Hospice playing
a leading role in the end of life today,
more than 50 percent of deaths take
place at home among the family.
