Wade opens up about his unique journey through the funeral industry, sharing eye-opening insights into the emotional toll, educational requirements, and daily challenges that come with helping families navigate grief and loss. He reveals the importance of empathy, mental strength, and the subtle art of coping with death, all while keeping the human spirit alive.
