If you're heading off in the summer, I'd recommend inter-railing around Europe--you'll see so much.
Removing and transferring the deceased to the funeral home, sanitary washing, embalming preparation, restorative art, dressing, hairdressing, casketing, cosmetics, consultation with family,file all certificates and permits, make arrangements for families choice of clergy, create an obituary for family, music and flowers arrangements plus additional transportation for families. The list is endless.
