Don't be foolish
Funeral Director - (City withheld for privacy), Ohio, United States
I have five years experiance as a licensed Funeral Director with this company. I have given my blood, sweat, and tears, have never had a raise and was put on the street six days ago. Be very leary of a job in the funeral service industry.
