Is becoming an embalmer worth it?
I'm beginning to apply to college to eventually become an embalmer and possibly a funeral director. For people that have went to college for this field, is it actually worth it? How fulfilling is the career? I'm worried of making the wrong choice and ending up in a career that I won't like, especially since being a mortician is one of the very few things that you can do with that kind of degree.

I truly respect and admire the dedication and compassion required to be a Mortician/Undertaker/Funeral-Director, as my research into funeral service has revealed. To be forthright, I was hoping to conduct a brief interview consisting of just 8 questions for a project assignment by my teacher at LoneStar College. The funeral service profession has always intrigued me, and I wanted to explore whether it might be a path I could pursue. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to find someone to interview considering how busy their schedule in this industry is. It would be awesome if my questions could be answered here. I have posted the questions below.
