10. Funeral homes still smell funny.
9. Getting the family ready to go is as bad as a Sunday morning. There WILL be arguments and fighting and you WILL run late.

7. Funeral processions are an accident waiting to happen! Driving behind an off duty police officer makes it even worse. Speed up, slam on the brakes. Repeat.

3. People really mean the best when they give you a hug and say "I'm so sorry for your loss"
2. Death is final, but memories are not.
