About Chris Foote

What drew you into this work? Think it was a meant-to-be thing. Really questioning what it means to die: then realizing that I loved people and have researched widely on death. So it was a natural progression to work in this field. What do you like about your role? Making sure people relax and enjoy their funeral process, even if they are sad. And I love caring for a person's body, making them look their best. Outside of work? Has a large orchard and organic vege garden, building a house, enjoys live Jazz, writes poetry occasionally, and loves to read. View on death? Well, I believe we go on. I believe in reincarnation, that we are all together again with people we love — somewhere, somehow. What's important to you in a funeral? That it runs smoothly, of course. That everyone involved feels included and they know they've done their best.
