¶ … wrongs do not make a right." By Shun Newbern
The writer presents the reader with situations that can come up in the funeral profession which may end up in utter disappointment of the clients or even worse still end up in the court system with heavy penalties passed down to the funeral home. Unfortunately most of the situations that he presents are unforeseeable hence unplanned for in terms of remedies put in place, a situation that puts the funeral home or the professional responsible for the decedent in a precarious situation.
However, the article falls short of explicitly fronting the recommended remedies that were supposed to have been used in the situations presented in order to have had a pleasant ending. For instance in the first case of the strong odor emanating from the casket during viewing, he gives the remedies that were used by the funeral home to try and curb the menace which did not work out and yet the writer also fails to indicate which methods could have worked out. Worse still, the writer mentioned other cases in full story or on anecdotal details yet none of them have a closed ending to guide on the solution that should have been used or applied.
The information presented in the entire article lack in the content to help one in career funeral service due to the shallow details and unfinished and solved situations that it presents. It seems to be more like an article of news that informs or reports of what might have happened but does not authoritatively give the panacea to such a situation for future professionals in the field, nor does he give the legal advice on how to handle the circumstances he mentioned. Above this, he also writes with the approach that anyone reading this article ahs the technical knowledge in embalming and this comes out when he uses terms and expressions such as end-stage decomposition without bothering to elaborate on the meaning of such technical terms. Due to the lacking details in the article hence leaving loose ends and also the presumption that each person reading the article has knowledge in embalming I would be very hesitant to recommend this article to anyone looking for professional content.

Dickinson "I Felt a Funeral in My Brain" Filled with words and phrases laden with imagery of death, drowning, and droning drums, Emily Dickinson's haunting poem "I Felt a Funeral in My Brain" provides insight into a fractured mind.
