**Uncovering the Truth: Behind the Scenes of Exposing Deathcare** Welcome to *Exposing Deathcare,* a podcast created to shine a light on the hidden, often dark realities within the funeral industry. I'm Melissa Meadow, (your host M) or as some of you may know me, *The Modern Mortician.* This podcast is a platform to expose unethical practices, harmful experiences, and shady dealings that have plagued grieving families, funeral staff, and the industry as a whole. By bringing these stories to light, *Exposing Deathcare* aims to push for transparency, support those affected by trauma, and encourage necessary reforms in the way deathcare operates. **Why This Podcast?** For years, I’ve worked behind the scenes in the funeral industry, witnessing the good, the bad, and the shocking. Too often, families face unnecessary upsells, hidden fees, and sometimes outright manipulation when they’re at their most vulnerable. Meanwhile, funeral professionals who truly want to help people are too often pressured by corporate greed or unsustainable business practices. This isn't just about exposing what’s broken – it’s about acknowledging the pain caused by these wrongs and fostering a deathcare environment that respects the dead and the living alike. Through anonymous interviews, real-life stories from funeral directors and staff, and deep dives into specific issues, *Exposing Deathcare* tackles the taboo topics that don’t often make it into the public eye. From high-pressure sales tactics to the consequences of toxic workplace cultures, no topic is off-limits. **Join the Conversation** If you or someone you know has experienced unethical practices or painful situations within the funeral industry, consider sharing your story with *Exposing Deathcare.* Whether you’re a funeral director, a mortician, or someone who has dealt with a funeral home during a difficult time, your story matters. By speaking out, you can help bring accountability to the industry and protect others from facing similar experiences. Submit your stories confidentially, and together, let’s work toward a world where deathcare is about compassion, dignity, and truth. Join the conversation by tuning into *Exposing Deathcare,* and if you have a story to tell, reach out to us. Let’s bring ethics back into deathcare. exposingdeathcare@gmail.com linktr.ee/exposingdeathcare
