In this episode, the Rev. Morgan Allen visits with parishioner Laurens Fish, III, President of Weed-Corley-Fish funeral homes in Austin. The pair reflect on Thomas Lynch’s collection of essays entitled The Undertaking. Lynch, a funeral director, writes, “I [came] to know that the undertaking … had less to do with what was done to the dead and more to do with what the living did about the fact of life that people died.” Morgan and Laurens discuss their respective efforts to honor the families they serve. The podcast concludes with Morgan’s sermon, entitled “Living For Eternity, Not For Immortality,” from Good Shepherd’s October 28, 2018, requiem masses.
