Funerals have changed dramatically in the last decade. 

Not that long ago, they followed a very standard procedure. 

Often mourners wore black, 

Most funerals were burials 

Religion played a big part and there were very few personal touches. 

 In this episode of the podcast, I have a wonderful chat with Stan Commings  who is  almost 94 years young! 

Stan dedicated his working life to working in the funeral industry.  People like Stan paved the way for those of us who work in the industry now.   And I really enjoyed hearing his stories.  

We have so much to learn from history but it is also fascinating to see how things have changed. 

This conversation was a lovely reminder to me, of how important it is to capture and preserve the thoughts and memories of our older generations.   And how recording stories leaves a legacy of living history for future generations.  And I would like to thank Stan for sharing his stories with me.
