Luff-Bowen Funeral Home | Luff-Bowen Funeral home has been located in Waverly, TN since 1879. I feel that it’s necessary to teach the younger generation the ins and outs of funeral service as well as proper funeral etiquette. Many do not know what it means to be a pallbearer or what that role means for them. Many people are weirded out about the funeral home in general. My goal is to show our students that death is just as natural as being born. We are normal humans with families just working a job that has to be done. I would consider this to be a job shadow experience filling them with proper knowledge of my industry that most grown adults need to know but don’t know. No hands on work to be performed with the deceased. If you are interested, please contact Lindsey by emailing lindseyb@wtnfa.com or calling (931) 296-2437 for more information on how to sign up.
