I'm a funeral director & owner of a funeral home in Dallas. Follow me for a behind the scenes look at my life in the funeral profession #Jamesthefuneraldirector

Would you spend eternity at Camp Nou?

Barcelona is building a memorial inside the stadium for about 26,000 fans' ashes, reportedly from €2,490 for 10 years.

Funeral director tip for any niche: read the term. Ask where the urn goes when it ends.

Is a burial vault required by law? Grave liners and burial vaults aren't the same. Ask what your cemetery accepts before paying for upgrades. #BurialVault #FuneralPlanning

Did she die "of" a heart attack or "from" one? X is fighting about it today.

Funeral director answer: the death certificate skips the debate. Immediate cause on top, then "due to (or as a consequence of)," line by line, down to what started it.

Grammar nerds, meet your coroner.

@midwestern_ope Funeral director here. Of all the November memes, this is the one I'll allow. 29 men, never recovered, and the lake became their cemetery. Respect the Fitz.

@italksec @MattMoscona As a funeral director, I can confirm that's the worst insult in my industry. A funeral home where nobody dies is just a very sad furniture showroom.

@ArlingtonNatl Funeral director here. A memorial headstone with nobody under it is still a real grave to a family. Somewhere to stand, somewhere to bring flowers. Took more than 50 years, but they got it. Fair winds, Seaman Coleman.

@CBSMornings Funeral director here. What families don't see is the wait. A death like this means the medical examiner and investigators come first, and the family can't even start planning until she's released. Praying for her people.

@PhilipCDube Funeral director angle: a manner-of-death ruling isn't always the last word. A death certificate can be amended when new evidence comes in, and families can push for a review. That first ruling carries more weight than people realize.

@ArlingtonNatl Thank you to every Old Guard soldier, bugler, and grounds crew member out there today. As a funeral director, I know how much work goes into making a few quiet minutes look effortless.

@boonecutler Rest easy, Levi. From a funeral director: a full room means more to a family than anything we can arrange. If you're near Union, MO, go. You don't need to have known him.

@Anne8065 That triangle is one of the heaviest things a family ever holds. Thank you for sharing your dad with us today. His service is remembered.

@KXAN_News Dallas funeral director here. In a lot of Texas counties, an elected justice of the peace with no medical training decides whether a death gets an autopsy. Families deserve a trained doctor making that call. Glad this is back on the table.

[James The Funeral Director @JamesTheFD]

@TedDanielnews Funeral director here. A medical examiner can only rule on what investigators hand them: scene photos, timelines, what the cops said on day one. Blaming the ME after a jury did the job is like blaming the scale for what you put on it.

Do you have to wear black to a funeral? Black is common, not universal. Follow the family’s wishes and customs. Respect doesn’t require a shopping spree. #FuneralEtiquette #FuneralDirector

Veterans Day or Memorial Day? Today thanks the ones still here. Memorial Day is for the ones we buried.

Funeral director tip for living vets: keep your DD-214 where family can find it. VA burial, a headstone, and a flag folded to Taps all start with that paper.

Why does Lake Superior "never give up her dead"?

51 years ago today the Edmund Fitzgerald sank with all 29 men.

Funeral director answer: bodies float up because bacteria make gas. Superior is so cold that barely starts, so she keeps them.

Rest easy, boys. #EdmundFitzgerald

Before whole-body donation, ask about permitted uses, acceptance, backup plans, transport costs and return of remains. Get written answers and tell your family. Program rules vary.

Rating funeral decisions like the internet rates food. Funeral potatoes win. Pallbearers who skipped leg day lose. What should I explain next?

@dissectmarkets I only hold MSTY and WNTR. Doing great!

You bought enough funeral flowers to put a florist’s kid through college. Now what? Keep what matters, share the rest, and call before donating. Your living room doesn’t need visiting hours. #JamesTheFuneralDirector #FuneralFlowers
