Wilson Orwosky Funeral Home: Case Study

Painful as it may be, such experiences brings home the finality of death. Something deep within us demands a confrontation with death. A last look assures us that the person we loved is, indeed, gone forever.” (108) Cable finishes his essay by asking, Tim if his job ever depressed him. Tim in reply says, “No it doesn’t, and I do what I can for people and take satisfaction in enabling relatives to see their loved ones as they were in real life.” (108) After reading this essay I feel as though sometimes we don’t understand death so therefore we do not talk much about it. By reading about what goes on after your loved one dies and is sent to these places to be prepared and ready for burial, it helps to understand why morticians and funeral directors do what they do. Knowing that someone enjoys taking the responsibility in providing that comfort in a sorrowful time makes me appreciate these people in these occupations a bit

1. Watch “The Undertaking” where this video examines a family who works in the funeral industry as a window into American feelings on death and dying. Then, respond to the following questions: How do funeral rituals describe by the Lynch family show our cultural values about death and dying? How would a sociologist create a research question to systematically evaluate the claims that the Lynch family makes about death and dying? The funeral industry arguably exists to serve micro-level relationships, consoling individuals who have just lost others central to their social existence.

People die everyday all over the world. In United States, people use hundreds of different words to describe death. Generally, people that grow up in the United States tend to view death as a taboo subject and are seen as a topic that should be kept behind closed doors and contracted with an individual or family. A belief system that so many individuals hold to be true has been shaped over the past century. In this culture, death has become something that is enormously feared and as a result, some people stop living their lives to his or her highest potential because of their fear of dying. The effect that death has pertains to individuals of all ages, gender and ethnicities. But unfortunately, how death is viewed it has become more and

Sandy Hingston offers many intriguing views of a funeral service from the conventional method of a service in a church and the burial of the deceased to a service that more so relates to a party than a funeral. “The Death of the Funeral Business” also raises many questions to be pondered by the reader. Hingston says, “A societal changeover from burial to cremation is momentous for our culture. It signals a cataclysmic shift in how we think about our bodies and ourselves” (38). The questions that arise from this quote are what parallels may Hingston be trying to draw between the trend in cremation and the way we “think about our bodies and ourselves?” Why may she be trying to develop these connections? These are the questions I will be focusing on and how they relate to what I think the purpose of the article is. I believe the purpose of this article is to show how our generation is changing the way we view death and how the use of technology has greatly impacted the way funerals are done.

well. I used this article to help describe patient’s feelings towards discussing the end of their life. Since patients are likely to feel down after making decisions about their death, they should have a chance to feel uplifted by being introduced to religions and the afterlife.

Death is inescapable. Praise God for the life he has blessed his children with. In Elisabeth Kubler-Ross’ novel “On Death & Dying” she effectively explains the dying process in five steps: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. The impact of her novel, if given the chance, on the medical field would be tremendous in the attempt of allowing individuals to die with their dignity while also remaining in peace throughout the majority of the process. In reality a funeral should not consist of mourning over what is lost. A funeral should be a celebration of the life the individual was blessed with and the impact they had on the people around them. Truly in the end, death is a blessing to those that believe and a frightening silence to the many that do

The funeral directors have to approach each person who has lost someone with an open mind and a sympathetic tone. They must be aware that anything they say could upset the person even more and lead them into a worse state than they are in already. They must try to provide their service in the most suitable way for the person suffering. This could in turn affect the funeral directors themselves. The emotional impact that they must suffer when dealing with someone who is bereaved could be major. They must be aware and open to each client who is dealing with a loss; this could include them listening to the person, helping the personal with personal matters and tending to what they need. The assistant manager at the Cemetery explained that anger was prevalent within the newly bereaved and that something we may view as minor may be seen as a major issue to them, so an effort to understand must be evident. Funeral directors will come across many different people who grieve in different ways, trying to differentiate between each person will be a difficult task and can be extremely emotionally

Whenever the topic of death arises, at least in American culture, it is treated with special care and caution. We unofficially and yet unanimously treat death as a taboo. Not many people enjoy talking about death or the potential of their deaths. People tend only to discuss death when buying life insurance or creating a will. Other than this, details about the aftermath of their death are never discussed until they are on their deathbed. This practice leaves few seconds for loved ones to collect thoughts and explain their last

“Ordinary people” everywhere are faced day after day with the ever so common tragedy of losing a loved one. As we all know death is inevitable. We live with this harsh reality in the back of our mind’s eye. Only when we are shoved in the depths of despair can we truly understand the multitude of emotions brought forth. Although people may try to be empathetic, no one can truly grasp the rawness felt inside of a shattered heart until death has knocked at their door. We live in an environment where death is invisible and denied, yet we have become desensitized to it. These inconsistencies appear in the extent to which families are personally affected by death—whether they

Due to our division with Professor Bower's classes, it's unfortunate that I'm not always able to read your discussion board post since they are so deep and informative. As an individual who suffers from OCD, the anxiety that comes with the illness, is not emotionally draining, but it's physically painful, at times. Henceforth, I agree that the funeral director should be observant and should be aware of the type of individual is mourning so they are able to guide them.
