## Resource

Hosts Sandy and Kristy of A Little Bit Dead welcome longtime listener Roddy, a local embalmer/funeral director serving several counties, and share why they’re “dead inside” this week, including Mother’s Day chaos at a flower shop and growing a jewelry side hustle. Roddy discusses funeral home work, being on call, removals, embalming, working with families, and how services and cremation options are changing, plus bizarre incidents like fights and a gun threat at a viewing. The group swaps paranormal stories from older funeral homes, mentions spooky local locations like the Legacy building and City Hall, and floats hosting a future ghost hunt or “Paracon” in Hughes Springs. They also talk about COVID-era experiences, vaccines, Roddy’s brain surgery episode, family dynamics at funerals, local connections, and genealogy ties. Thank yu for listening!
