A Grave Affair

Episode 08 - Unsung Heroes in Funeral Service

Justin

In this episode we take a slight detour from our (ab)normal topics and sit down with Tabitha Cline-Mills and Chris Donhost to discuss organ donation. As embalmers we face certain challenges associated with donor cases and the insight we gain from Tabitha and Chris is paramount. 

Tabitha Cline-Mills is a funeral director and embalmer based in  Charlotte, NC who is the regional manager for Great Western Insurance Company. Tabitha's connection to organ donation is of close importance; after a nasty skiing fall, she received cadaver ligaments to repair her injured knee. 

Chris, also a funeral director and embalmer, is the Donor Recovery Liaison for Sierra Donor Services, based in Sacramento, CA.
