He didn’t just kill himself… he made sure it worked.
In this episode, a Grant, a funeral director's assasistant, shares one of the most disturbing and confusing calls of his life. A man everyone loved. A house that should have been filled with Christmas lights. And a suicide so extreme it didn’t make sense.
He slit both of his arms open.
And then started his car.
Just in case.
But this story isn’t just about how he died.
It’s about trying to understand why.
Why someone who seemed happy would do something so violent.
Why some suicides feel impulsive… and others feel calculated.
And what goes through your mind when you’re standing over the body of someone you actually knew.
After years working in a funeral home, Grant has seen death in every form. But some scenes don’t leave you. This is one of them.
And what happened after the call might be even worse.
A desperate lie.
A moment of guilt.
And the realization that sometimes the living don’t handle death much better than the dead.
This is a raw, unfiltered, true story from inside the funeral industry. Graphic, honest, and deeply human.
⚠️ Listener discretion advised. This episode contains graphic descriptions and discussions of suicide.

The Grandfather Clock and the Shotgun Suicide- Collection One Epilogue (UNLOCKED!)
He wound the clock… then pulled the trigger.
In this episode of My Funeral Home Stories, a real funeral director shares one of the most unsettling calls of his career. A late-night police pickup. A shotgun suicide. A silent house. And one detail that doesn’t make sense. A perfectly polished grandfather clock.
But this story isn’t just about what happened in that bedroom.
It’s about what happens after.
What happens to the body.
What happens to the people left behind.
And the question no one wants to ask out loud:
What happens to you if you do it?
After years working in a funeral home, Grant has seen more death than most people will in a lifetime. But some calls don’t leave you. This is one of them.
Raised in religion but surrounded by real death, he wrestles with a question that never really goes away.
Can a good person make one irreversible decision and lose everything?
Do suicides really go to hell?
Or is that just something we tell ourselves to survive the unknown?
This is a raw, unfiltered, true story from inside the funeral industry. Graphic, honest, and deeply human.
⚠️ Listener discretion advised. This episode contains graphic descriptions and discussions of suicide.
