#500 The Road to Springfield and the End of the Beginning

Podcasting like we'll never do it again, Ryan and I hit the road and paratroop into the Illinois Funeral Directors Association's annual convention in Springfield, Illinois. They hit the ground and immediately built a network to visit the place where the usefulness of undertakers was realized. Today's show is crafted in the spirit of a Celebration of Life because that's what Undertaking: The Podcast and the Network is all about. Expect three musical performances from our Network musicians, voices from the past and two undertakers exploring their usefulness in the world of undertaking, family, community, friends and podcasting.  As one season of our lives fades out, another will fade in. Join us. All are welcome as we explore life, distracted by a world of death and regret, as we all search for meaning and real human connection. Today's show is brought to you by our long-time Network supporters: Hilton Funeral Supply: https://www.hiltonfuneralsupply.com/ Indiana Donor Network: https://indianadonornetwork.org/ Pierce Chemical & the Wilbert Team: https://www.piercedirect.com/ MemoryShare: https://www.memoryshare.com/ ASD Answering Service for Directors: https://www.myasd.com/ NMS National Mortuary Shipping & Cremation: https://www.natlmortuaryshipping.com/ Gather, Funeral Home Software: https://gather.app/ MortuaryMall.com: https://www.mortuarymall.com/ Your Mortuary Magic Store: https://yourmortuarymagicstore.square.site/
