Real E Fun is a British funeral director, trained by the British Humanist Association. Sounds grim? This woman swooshes life and humor and heart into everything she does. (Thanks to Lynn the overstressed for the tip.
I’m sociable and nosy, so I usually enjoy the family meetings very much. I rarely take sadness away with me: although the people I’m working with are often in the sharp, raw stage of early grief where there is little other than sadness available to them, it’s not contagious. It is perhaps like a doctor who comes upon a road traffic accident, where there are people in great pain and she will understand what hurts and do what she can to help, but none of the pain is in her own body so she doesn’t feel it herself.
