Are there any funeral directors or morticans on Fluther that'd be willing to tell me about their jobs?

I’m a sophomore in high school. I started considering the idea of being a funeral director in 8th grade. As time went on I began to get more serious about it, and my freshman year my father committed suicide. I was present with the funeral director and my family in deciding his burial arrangements and such. Being there really made the job a reality for me. So I was curious to hear what people had to say. Do you have any advice for me? Are you happy with the direction you took in life? Also, I’m very interested in doing volunteer work at a funeral home. How would I go about doing that?
