President Obama will take on the role as Healer in Chief as he speaks at the Fort Hood Memorial Service on November 10th. It is a role that President Bush filled well, but unlike Obama his condolences were for the most part done out of view of the camera. Obama will be front and center in consoling the Fort Hood Shooting Victims Families.

In fact President Bush has already met with the wounded at Dover, quietly.

Here is a snippet on the Barach Obama Healer(Griever) in chief moment:

WordPress has the potential to put Wedding and Funeral Webcating Companies out of business. It is also true of online obituary companies..

Special thanks to wordpress.com for making video easy on their blog. It is now possible to webcast funerals and weddings on the wordpress.com blog network. The free blogs are quite useful for posting videos of funerals and weddings.

These blogs are also useful for a family to post obituaries as well. Comments can be used as condolences or a funeral guestbook.

You do not have to use the services advertised on the web For “WebCasting Funerals.”  Set up a wordpress.org blog. or a wordpress.com blog. You will  have funeral webcasting. It will not be live but right after the funeral but very inexpensive.

To some this is a  surprise. The  family can replay their own video at the  blogs mentioned above with minimal cost and minimal effort. It is kind of an internet virtual memorial. It can go on  in almost virtual  perpetuity. All that is needed is a Video Camera.

To be fair this can be done on typepad and blogspot (google) blogs as well. This could pose a dismal future for funeral one.com anf funeral recording .com

Deceased Victims of the Fort Hood deceased were moved to Dover air Force Base  Friday night. There was a touching military ramp  ceremony while caskets were loaded onto the transport. Each flag draped casket was saluted and sent up the ramp. A wounded soldier in the attack insisted on being at the ceremony in a wheel chair.

The heros will all have an autopsy before funeral arrangements can be made for the massacred.

A prayer vigil was also held at Fort Hood Friday night for the decease and the wounded.

Media reports for hours the attacker dead, than it was reported  he was alive. In this sad scenario it is amazing that that the “MEDIA” could get the facts wrong. Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan the Forth Hood shooter shouted ‘Allahu Akbar’ before deadly attack. Hasan spent 6 years as a psychiatrist before coming to Fort Hood Texas for deployment.

Sad news

There has been a shooting at  the US  army base at Fort Hood,Texas. At least 7 people are dead and it appears one of the shooters is on the lose. This needs to be mentioned.This is a national tragedy. Chaos describes the moment, but there are funerals to come. Victims Families will  grieve.

Wall Mart now sells caskets? So what is next for Funerals? Whatever it is probably not good for the Traditional Funeral Industry. Does anyone remember Full Service Gas Stations? They are gone.

Just Maybe sometime in the future……. Does anyone think about  those Traditional Funerals and the Funeral Home On the corner that was dark and somber? Yes i know all but the graveside service is now being  done online. Everything costs so much less, that sure makes death easier to deal with. Those old blacksuits and the ties, they’ve been gone for awhile. Just a few years back it was a big deal when Walmart began selling caskets online. Now they are on the showroom floor. Order on line and go down to Wal-Mart and Pickup. Now you do not even a funeral director for that.  What were those old casket companes, Batesville, York, Aurora, too bad they did not sell those ecopods back in the day before green funerals. I heard that they had to meltdown there metal caskets and sell the wooden ones for kindling.

Here’s a snippet from a blogger who takes you into the near future.

The funeral homes industry has reason to be concerned. I am sure their argument is these funeral homes can provide full service (like gas station) and ability to provide comfort and empathy, but it comes at a price. If it works for Wal-mart, the next one to join would be Target. They would invite Stella McCartney or Phillipe Starke to design caskets that costs just a little more, but with a lot more style. Amazon.com will follow with online customization that you can pick your favorite patterns or engraved your family crest.
