Occupying the first floor of the impressive yellow bricked structure from 1942 until 1978 was the Van Kula Funeral Home - the second floor I called home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor over four decades I was associated with death and dying on an almost daily occurrence. Residing over a funeral home with five siblings added to the plenitude of memories - poignant, humorous and enduring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs an observer and eventual practitioner of one of the world's oldest professions, I have borne witness to human nature under the most demanding of emotional circumstances. In \"DAD, CAN I BORROW THE HEARSE?\" I have attempted to present a summary of events as they related to me - \"The Funeral Director's Kid\".\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas J.
