Go ahead and tell them they desecrated someone else so they may live and hopefully move on and live a prosperous life. Pretty classless, especially in light of your background in the business.

Wow Rocky, that is overly presumptuous, even for you.

I'm no longer in the funeral business, but I do keep my license current.

Perhaps it does explain a lot to an actuary. But then, an actuary has no idea how to interact with anyone, including the deceased, so perhaps it's not me, but you, eh?

When my FIL died recently, my MIL decided to donate his organs. When we got to the funeral home the next day, the funeral director (in a small Southern Utah town) gave her a hard time about it because it was going to make his work harder. My poor MIL felt terrible. I wanted to kill they guy right then and there, and it still makes my blood boil. I called up the hospital to tell them what happened and they filed an ethics complaint against the funeral home.

I can guarantee that when the Utah Funeral Directors Association got word, that guy would have been censured and probably had his license revoked.

You're the one the made the statement about desecration, so obviously there's no presumption whereas you actually said it.

Either you don't know what the word desecration means or you just mis-applied it's meaning in this case.

I know what it means. You made the assumption that I would tell the family of the deceased. It was as clear as it could be.

You lose.

I never made that assumption nor even remotely said you passed along that word or those feelings to the family.

Maybe one of those can pass along their corneas and brain to you so you can read and comprehend English.

I am an organ donor. My wife wants to donate her body to science. I told her she better hope I go before she does then because I am not going to take the grandkids to the U of U cadaver lab to pay respects to grandma.

So, your quote above isn't what you said?

Actually...looks like my comprehension is the one that needs an organ donor....you are right and I'm wrong. Thanks for correcting me.
