How I became a funeral director (2/5)

This is part two of a series called Completing the circle. Its about death and dying and the people who embrace it everyday like today’s guest Genevieve Keeney Vasquez.

She’s spent her whole life wanting to work in these fields centered on death and dying and those they leave behind and she has. She's worked a funeral director, an army medical officer, a palliative nurse, and most currently President and CEO of the National Museum Funeral History 

She was fascinating and revealing and eloquent: everything you can ask in a guest.

Part One: She Wanted To See A Dead Body

Part Two: How I became a funeral director

Part Three: Where people are dying and no one admits it
