Pet Crematory Observation
For my assignment, I chose to do a practical joke on my girlfriend. She is an apprentice at a funeral home in Jeffersonville, IN. The funeral home she works for also has a pet crematory. With the pet crematory, they have a service where they will come pick up your animal either from your house or the vet and cremate it for you. All you have to do is come pick up the ashes. She mostly just works at the actual funeral home, but some weekends she is on call for the pet crematory and has to go pick up pets and communicate with families.
This past weekend happened to be my girlfriend’s week on call for the pet crematory service, so I figured I would have a little bit of fun. I found the number on the internet and decided to give her a call. She

    The crematoria made for the mass killings and incineration in the Holocaust had to come from somewhere. The firm, Topf & Sohn (of Erfurt), were responsible for the machines that would soon help the Nazis burn the bodies of victims of the Holocaust. Ludwig Topf, CEO of the firm, committed suicide after being blamed for being an accessory in the crime claiming that he was under no fault and it was an injustice to be persecuted. His brother Ernst-Wolfgang did escape persecution and tried to restart the business which failed due to bankruptcy.…

    During the process of this exercise in Garbology, I chose to collect garbage from my neighbor’s private home. I personally do not know them very well, but we are friendly enough that they were willing and happy to provide their trash and recycling as part of the experiment. I chose to separate the items between trash and recycling, and then created subcategories within those headings. The table below is a list of the categories and the items I chose as anthropological examples of their lifestyle, social class, and preoccupations.…

    I remember that Monday just like yesterday. I was sitting behind the drill press fixing a wheel bushing on the neighbors Toro lawn mower. It was a ugly, red, piece of junk, but all the time my grandfathers sang keep echoing in my head "its your name on that job"�. I then hustled to finish boring the wheel to one half-inch diameter and began inserting the long brass sleeve into the wheel when the phone rang. I answered it was my grandmother, she sounded concerned, she quietly asked, "May I speak with your father."� This was a rather new development because it was never my grandmother who called asking for my father it was always my grandfather looking for a hunting buddy or someone to help him work on his old, rusted, pink, 1958 Cadillac. I soon felt chills running down my spine I immediately shut off the huge press as it ground to a halt I heard my dad say Glessing 3 "oh no!"� I had no idea what was going on could this be a fatal heart attack, or maybe a…

    Did you know that there are over 2.4 million healthy dogs and cats in shelters? Did you also know that one every thirteen seconds are euthanized ("Pet Overpopulation: The Humane Society of the United States")? These animals don’t ask to be brought into this world to be put in a small, cold enclosed cage. I personally wouldn’t want to be born into the world to be given up on, would you? Too many people don’t understand or even care to understand this sad statistic. In fact, humanity is so selfish in that aspect it makes me truly sick. Why do we have to have the cutest puppies or kittens? What’s wrong with an older dog, you don’t have to train them half the time. They need love too.

Her grandmother is in her 60’s, so there wasn’t much texting going between us. I’d been trying to catch up with her all day to interview her, but I guess she had a very busy weekend.

    I have an uncanny ability to read people; I had a good feeling about this guy. He called two days before Memorial Day and ordered a silk cemetery piece for his mother and one for his father. Not too unusual, since my sister and I owned a small flower shop in our hometown and it is common for out-of-state customers to have us deliver their orders to graves they are not able to visit. The fact one piece was to be delivered 25 miles away, wasn’t a request we had every day. His mother was buried in our town’s largest cemetery, but his father’s grave, was “In that big cemetery on Rt. 13 in Marion, IL.” I knew the cemetery he was talking about. He apologized that he lived in another state and since it had been a long time since he had been to his father’s grave, he couldn’t give me directions to the plot. I said it should be no problem, since there are always people sitting at the cemeteries on that day collecting donations for the annual upkeep of the place, complete with maps of plots, to help people find their loved ones.…

    What will happen when you die? I don’t mean whether you continue to live in Heaven, Hell, or some other supernatural realm. I mean, do you actually know what will happen to your corpse during the embalming and funeral processes? This subject, as morbid as it may seem, is quite interesting if you look at it. Maybe you will think so after hearing what I have to say. Since the moment I began this speech, 37 people have died, just in Virginia. This means that funeral homes around the state and even in our local city are booming. Embalming, Cremation, and Funeral Services is an occupation that will never lose its demand, but it’s also a profession that gives people the chills when they think about it.…
