FuneralChick's profile

Lived in New Brunswick,Swedesboro, Moorestown,Lakehurst, Lakewood, Point Pleasant, Old Bridge and Morganville, NJ; Tulsa, OK; Grammercy Park, NYC; Dallas, TX; Albuquerque, NM.

"Funeral" because of my work. "Chick" because of my personality. I have the privilege to companion broken hearts while they grieve. I feel honored that they would trust me with their heart. I love my work. At the same time, I am a good-hearted, fun-loving person. I enjoy family and friends, a good joke, a glass of wine and an occasional trip to the salon. So, I'm an undertaker, yes, a funeral director, who got tired of hearing the same service over and over and over again. And now I write and create personalized services for folks who want to know 'who' the service is about. (Novel idea, right?) I actually talk about why everyone is in the room. It's all about relationship. Even for those who are just there to support someone else; they'll leave knowing who the service was for and why everyone just had to be there. And... because you can say nice things about folks before they die... I also speak at retirements, significant birthdays and anniversaries. check me out on http://www.celebrationofalifetime.com

Married for the second time to the Marlboro Man. We have three sons between us, but not between us, if you get my drift. Summer of 2007 brought us our first grandbaby. He's a redheaded wonder.

hunting and fishing with my husband, Tom; Broadway, concerts, a housefull of friends, ladies' retreats, the shore, Thanksgiving

I support Veterans selling poppies, Deborah Heart & Lung Hospital, Cancer Research and pregnancy centers; but the bulk of my support goes to family and friends who need a helping hand.

eclectic tastes, yet I steer clear of screamers and stuff that needs a warning label

American Idol, Dancing With the Stars, Olympics- all that 'personal best' stuff

Mary Poppins, Shawshank Redemption, Mrs Doubfire, Father of the Bride, The Sixth Sense (yea, I'm eclectic here, too)

'Aspire to Inspire before you Expire'; 'With proper use of formaldehyde, you can look young forever!'

My back yard with the songbirds of spring, a trout stream in summer, the quiet Jersey shore in late September, the fireside in winter.
