Undertaker John joined us for the LIVE BLUNTCAST #10 to discuss what life in general is like as a Last Responder (Undertaker) during a pandemic and raising a family while living in a funeral home.
Undertaker John, known better as John Barnes of McCafferty Sweeney Slabinski Barnes Funerals and Cremations has been in the funeral business since he was in high school. He talks about how a kid from Frankford born and raised under the becomes an undertaker with no family connections. He had no idea washing limousines as a teenager would turn into a career.
Most importantly, he sheds important and useful information about how COVID-19 has affected the industry and the families of loved ones who have passed during these social distancing times.
We discuss the precautions and hazards of the industry during a pandemic and how funeral directors everywhere are scrambling to keep up with current CDC recommendations, as well as securing enough PPE supplies.
While we are all doing our best to avoid any contact with COVID-19, John has had over 30 people who have passed due to the virus brought into his home, where he both lives and works.
This is a must-listen where we think you’ll both learn and laugh.
We hope you enjoy and that you and your loved ones are safe.
