  Episode 53: Anna Jordan on Celebrants and the Home Funeral Alliance

  Aug 11, 202656 min

  On today’s episode, I’m joined by Anna Jordan. Anna is a funeral director and a certified life cycle celebrant and a member of the board of the Home Funeral Alliance. I’ve had the opportunity to work with Anna on a couple of projects with the Home Funeral Alliance. For the past couple of years, a group of students at Wake Forest Law School have researched and assembled state statutes relevant to home funeral families and complied state by state legal guides that are posted on the Home Funeral Alliance website. Anna and I have been on several calls discussing what research would be most useful to those families. More recently, Anna shared with me the curriculum for a new program she’s launching on behalf of the Home Funeral Alliance – a Home Funeral Proficiency Certification. This online program is aimed at funeral directors to help them better understand and assist home funeral families, and she’s running a pilot this summer. In today’s conversation, I talk to Anna about that project, and about her unique path to and role in funeral service.

  Episode 52: A Conversation with Funeral Director Tim Schramm

  Jul 27, 20261h 6m

  If you’ve been listening to this podcast for a while, you’ve heard from a lot of what I’ll characterize as “progressive” or “new” entrants in the death care space. We’ve had episodes on green burial, death doulas, natural organic reduction, home funerals, and more. The conventional wisdom that I hear a lot from critics of the funeral industry is that “traditional” funeral directors are rigid and uninterested in change. That’s certainly true of some folks in the industry – they’re hanging on to the way they’ve always done things until they retire. But I’ve also found that some people that you assume will be super conservative are actually really open to giving funeral families what they need, whether that fits the traditional model or not. One case in point is today’s guest, Tim Schramm, Owner and CEO of Howe-Peterson Funeral Home & Cremation Services with locations in Dearborn and Taylor, Michigan. Tim is also a spokesperson for the National Funeral Directors Association.
