Show Notes
Welcome to Part 1 of this trio episode (or shall we say, the Larry Series) of The Glam Reaper podcast! Today’s episode features one of Jennifer’s favorite people in the funeral industry, Larry Stuart Jr.
Larry is the owner of Raven Plume Consulting (formerly Cremation Strategies & Consulting) and works closely with CANA and ICCFA. He is also a Certified Funeral Celebrant who believes that every life deserves to be honored and remembered.
The first part of this episode kicks off with how Jennifer and Larry met and how he started in the funeral industry, eventually becoming a consultant specializing in cremation. In this episode, he talks about the importance of respect in the industry, especially with regards to ceremonies, as some individuals may not prefer to hold one after a cremation. Tune in and listen to them discuss what cremation really is and the role funeral directors play in the process — and no, it’s not all about the money and funeral directors aren’t all cowboys! Make sure to stream the second and third part of this trio as well!
