    The Swinging Wake Podcast – Episode 34 From the Haunted Mansion to the Funeral Home: Alex Talks About His Career as a Funeral Director

    Have you ever wondered what really happens behind the scenes at a funeral home?

    In this special episode of The Swinging Wake Podcast, Alex steps away from the Haunted Mansion for a candid conversation about his career as a traveling funeral director. From midnight removals and meeting with grieving families to embalming, cremation, and the realities of modern funeral service, this episode offers an honest look into a profession that is often misunderstood.

    Kris asks the questions many people have always wondered about, covering everything from education and daily responsibilities to common misconceptions, industry trends, and how working with death has shaped Alex's outlook on life.

    Of course, no Swinging Wake episode would be complete without bringing the conversation back to Disney's Haunted Mansion, where Alex shares whether his profession has changed the way he experiences the attraction—and whether working around death has ever convinced him that ghosts might actually exist.
