Episode 19: Jamie Locke – Funeral Etiquette, Expectations & The Stories You Never Hear

What should you wear to a funeral? Is there really a "right" way to behave? And what are some of the funniest, strangest, or most memorable requests funeral directors have ever received?

In Episode 19 of Rod & Chris: Unqualified and Unsupervised, we're joined by funeral director Jamie Locke. Since Rod works alongside Jamie at the funeral home, we thought it was time to pull back the curtain on a profession that most people only see during one of the hardest days of their lives.

Jamie helps us separate fact from fiction when it comes to funeral etiquette. We talk about what families really appreciate, what guests often worry about unnecessarily, and why showing up is usually far more important than saying the perfect thing. Of course, no conversation with funeral directors would be complete without sharing a few of the funny, unexpected, and unforgettable moments that happen behind the scenes.

It's a conversation that's informative, heartfelt... and probably a lot funnier than you'd expect.

In this episode you'll hear:

• What you should (and shouldn't) wear to a funeral
• Common questions about funeral etiquette and behavior
• Why your presence matters more than finding the perfect words
• Funny and unusual requests funeral directors have actually received
• Behind-the-scenes stories from life inside a funeral home
• Why laughter often has a place, even during life's hardest moments
