I loved this podcast, especially Todd Van Beck. What has happened to it? Different podcasters and no Mr. Van Beck.

Thanks for sharing this story! Outstanding! Being from Eastern IA I can picture exactly where these spectacular funeral homes are located and The Turner name. Had no idea of the connection with Grant Wood and Turner Funeral Family.

As a non-funeral professional, I really enjoy listening to this podcast. I started listening when the lockdowns first began because I had questions about funeral options in case a loved one died during the pandemic. I have learned so much and feel more comfortable in a rather uncomfortable topic...Read full review »

Funny and heartfelt for folks in, and out, of the funeral business! The “what to watch out for” and the historical stories are great! Well done gents!

I really enjoy listening even though I am not “in funeral service”. I am a nurse and from a large family. A couple of things I would like to share: I really enjoy Todd Van Beck and his historical presentations (presidents, titanic). I lave learned so much. Great work. Thanks!

These guys are great. I want to hear more about stories of what has happened in the funeral home during service, embalming, or during a removal service. Loved everything, wasn’t too big on the president thing they ha , and I have to admit, I don’t dream either. I used to but I got overwhelmed...Read full review »

As a layperson, I find this an excellent glimpse into what goes in to this profession. The podcasters really go the extra mile to create each episode. From learning terminology to enjoying the passion that so many people have for their careers, it is a fun, educational, and lovely show. Thank you...Read full review »

There are many funeral related podcasts out there, some even trying to mimic this one, but none will be as great as Brian and Ryan. These guys go the extra mile (literally, flying and driving around the USA) to gather quality content for their listeners. Keep up the great work guys!

This podcast is so informative but entertaining, respectful but light. The balance is perfect! I’m an M3 on track for Forensic Pathology, and love to soak up all information I can about the “death industry”. Every episode is incredibly well produced, and I especially appreciate all the COVID...Read full review »

I looked seriously at funeral service but it was never meant to be. I obtained enough knowledge along the way to help me deal with death. This podcast has strengthened my understanding and allowed me to help others in need. I simply tell people that it’s Funeral SERVICE and it will cost some...Read full review »

I have been licensed now in Funeral Service since May of 2020. Having just found this podcast last week: it has re-fired my desire to learn more and better my service. Keep the shows coming!

I’m not in the funeral business but have always been very intrigued by the process. The openness and honesty with discussions and seeing the “behind the scenes” daily struggles is eye opening. I love this podcast!
sara.sexton via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/04/21
The information and guests that Brian and Ryan have on give a great insight on funeral service behind the scenes and with new products that are available. Always look forward to the Tuesday and Friday episodes.
Nikelackstech via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/03/20
These are the things you want to know but don’t know. I really like knowing exactly what happens and what my options are in a relaxed and normal atmosphere. I found this podcast while researching body farms as an option for my body after I die. The whole process of death upsets me but I am seeing...Read full review »

Entertaining!!! Thank you for being open minded. I love the conversation.

I started listening a couple months ago and absolutely love this podcast. I can’t stop listening. It is so informative and I find myself referencing it all the time. Would definitely recommend.
GeorgeSaysCancerSucks via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/26/20
I don’t know how I stumbled on to your podcast but it’s SO fascinating. I’m an art teacher so definitely not in the funeral business but love learning about it. You both do amazing job with bringing up different topics and experts on your show. Thank you
ArtTeacherMZ via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/14/20
Very informative and enlightening, enjoy listening and learning how things are now compared to what my memories of funerals were.
Uticalover69 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/03/20
Even if you aren’t in the business this is a super interesting and informative podcast about something we all are are going to face eventually. It’s nice that there is a little humor to help ease the seriousness and the sometimes fragile subject matter.
Beagle hound via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/30/20
As a career professional funeral director and embalmer this is the one podcast I’ve found that is as professional as any others and is real...it’s educational, informative, and I learn something every time I listen. No shock factor and no tacky title attention seeking here. I highly recommend it.
TX Steelman via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/15/20
COVID-19 is a new disease which we are learning about every day. For you to take issue about early precautions vs what we know today is the height of irresponsibility. Your show is the new apex of psychomotor moronics, exceeded only by the White House’s temporary resident and his syncophants.
jpmccolon via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/15/20
It’s always great listening to these guys on my early morning hour commute. Keep up the great work the funeral profession is blessed to have this podcast.

So insighful and engaging to listen to. Really appreciate the hosts and this podcast. Definitely give it a listen :)
Yeebin_8 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/06/20
Whether you are a funeral director or just a curious bystander, Brian and Ryan present great topics in the death business in an intelligent, compassionate, and humorous manner.

These guys have a relaxed style but their passion is obvious.
J. Junkins via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/10/20
I like this podcast a lot. The hosts - two funeral directors- are curious, engaging.& down to earth. It’s a podcast driven by genuine interest & a desire to share it.
Lentridge via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/09/20
It is so nice to hear honest discussions with death care professionals. Unlike others who seem to want to entertain rather than educate, Brian and Ryan bring a real and transparent perspective into their podcast.
Am1Demon via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/04/20
My new favorite podcast!
MyronMorris via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/16/20
I so enjoyed my interview with Brian and Ryan and I appreciate their compassion and willingness to support grieving families. The subjects they cover are so important to the deathcare industry and offer a place for this group to get relevant information.

I’ve been listening for awhile now and definitely enjoy the educational value and the conversations being had about how the profession is growing and changing
Tonyoda via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 11/16/19
I’ve only listened to a handful of your episodes, but I’ve really enjoyed the ones I’ve listened to and will be listening to more! You guys provide a such refreshing commentary to both the general public, and to the audience of funeral directors who listen to you. As a funeral director myself,...Read full review »

I’ve always been interested in Funeral Service and my husband is a funeral director. The topics and discussions are incredibly valuable and insightful. I will continue listening!
Joey0516 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/14/19
I will be attending Worsham this September (2019). I find listening to the podcasts very insightful, with a broad range of topics! My brother is already a director here in IL so it’s interesting to hear some terms he’s used come up in conversation between you guys!

Childhood friend of Ryan... Love listening and learning about a fascinating industry.

I love an honest, vulnerable and educational podcast. These guys are doing great work and are REAL. I was surprisingly hooked right away. ❤️

I am so glad that I found Undertaking, I have enjoyed each and every episode that I have listened to. Please, please invite Mr. Waters on to talk again. His stories and insight are so interesting, I would love to hear more from him!

I am a newly licensed Funeral Director and Embalmer in Georgia, and I am so excited that you guys are doing this! I really think it’ll help the public see our side of things and help other Directors/up-and-coming students as well.
