morguemouse

Formerly a licensed funeral director and embalmer, am now a freelance journalist. My blog www.morguemouse.com tells the stories of my true world working in a mortuary, cemetery, crematory. I wrote for the iconic century old MORTUARY MANAGEMENT magazine, also. These days I spend my time traveling and with my family in Southern California.
