September 11 One year anniversary memorial choreography – At this early stage in our dance group’s history we called ourselves “Walk, Waddle and Roll” because of the idea that with Delsarte, if you could do any of those, you could dance. The Choreography: The towers appear, At the crashing gongs, the towers bow, and rise again in horror, then the the spirits,- the planes, -the dust circles, and collapses. The “goddess of grief” steps forward and weeps tears of blue ashes, into the hands of youth and beauty. The people rise, connect and raise the beam of light. They begin to move forward, while with a repeated gesture of heart bowed, and of seeking, they step together down the stairs. At each level someone falls behind, either by grief, fear or rage, but the community reaches for them and pulls them forward. Together they take a communion of the ashen tears of the goddess, and move forward and apart. They release some tears in public, and others will be carried in the heart always. The music is “Flowers in October” by Tim Janis. For me it represents the sound of the grief of September, but the beauty of life that must continue. That was our message to ourselves and to our congregation.

Anything I should know?

Best answer:

Answer by Joyce
Here’s a few paragraphs on becoming a funeral director from the link http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos011.htm#training.
But if you type “funeral director school” into Google there is lots of info besides this.

Education and training: College programs in mortuary science usually last from 2 to 4 years. The American Board of Funeral Service Education accredits about 60 mortuary science programs. The majority are two-year associate degree programs offered at community colleges. About 6 colleges and universities offer programs that culminate in a bachelor’s degree. In addition, many specialized, stand alone funeral service institutions offer two-year programs, although some are 4 years in length. Mortuary science programs include courses in anatomy, physiology, pathology, embalming techniques, restorative art, business management, accounting and use of computers in funeral home management, and client services. They also include courses in the social sciences and in legal, ethical, and regulatory subjects such as psychology, grief counseling, oral and written communication, funeral service law, business law, and ethics.

Answer by Look at the baby face
He made the right decision, although this is only one very small win. We have the remaining states in the US and the rest of the world to battle for. So it’s a small battle won within the war.
