Volunteer, prepare a mock funeral arrangement

On Feb. 18, Funeral Service Education students at Mt. Hood will counsel “grieving” volunteers through a mock funeral planning process.

The annual mock exercise runs 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Town and Gown Room. Anyone may volunteer to participate, as a grieving family member, by contacting Maximilian Bodzin, second-year FSE student, at [email protected] or at 503-431-9613 (text and phone).

Volunteers would craft a scenario and fake person (deceased) before attending the event, then work with a FSE student on making funeral arrangements for that individual.

The drill features a room full of caskets and other funeral necessities.
