About the name MorticianGirl

Mortician Girl was not a name made up for blogger use. I didn’t come up with it on the spot because I needed a catchy Facebook title for my new persona.  This name came about while I was in school for my Mortuary Science degree and became pretty permanent by the time I had been hired on as a full-fledged Director.

I was raised with a healthy dose of Disney and Superheroes and much of my personality has been affected by that. Besides a desperate desire to be Jasmine, I also am a fan of the entire basis that superheroes are derived from. I view people in my life who have made a major difference in the world and who are always around when needed as being my own personal superheroes. The Morticians who are a part of DMORT (Disaster Mortuary Operational Response Team) are, in my eyes, superheroes – real ones. I have every intention of joining that team one day. I have every desire to be someone’s superhero. During a discussion about DMORT my partner and I decided that my Superhero identity would be MorticianGirl!

Mortician's Appreciation Day

March 11 is National Funeral Director and Mortician's Appreciation Day. What better date is there to actually start up my Mortician Girl blog? I've only been playing with this idea for several months. I go back and forth wondering if I have enough to say or if it's ethical to tell the stories I want to. I've decided that I have many things rolling around in my head that I would like to share with the world. In America, we live holding steadfast to the idea that we will never age or die.(I, in fact, know that I will die but am convinced that I will be among the generation that figures out how to fight the aging process.) This leaves people feeling that talking about death is a taboo. Well, for all taboos, death included, take comfort in the thought that the internet exists. Nothing is taboo on the World Wide Web. So, with that in mind, I am about to create another place to offer an open forum of thought and discussion about death.

Hello. I am Mortician Girl. I am a young female Funeral Director in the Midwest of the United States. I have things to say, opinions to spout out, etiquette to teach, history to explore, links to share and information to expand on. I would like to give a new face to today's Mortician. We are no longer grumpy, tall, old men in top hats. I am young and cheery and extremely feminine. I am Mortician Girl. Welcome to my blog.
