I work at a large family owned funeral home with multiple locations. We had a removal technician work for us for decades. We had him part time when he was diagnosed with cancer. Suddenly he was completely off the schedule.
He recently died in hospice, one we go to all the time for removals. I found out he was let go because we did not want to accommodate him.
We did the removal, his body is literally in the cooler in the back. He doesn’t have much money so he is just getting cremated in a cardboard box. All he got is a “Tom used to work for us.” at the morning meeting.
No one batted an eye, no one cared, no discount for his cremation. Work does not care if you die, even right in front of them.
