In this episode of the We Talk Health Podcast, we are joined by two funeral directors, Bob Arrington and Sean Kimmins, as part of our Donate Life Series. This discussion takes place during National Donate Life Month in April. Funeral directors have a unique perspective on death and the importance of supporting organ donation as a means to give back to the community.
Bob Arrington, founder and president of Arrington Funeral Directors, shares his journey into the funeral industry and his passion for promoting organ donation initiatives. He explains how becoming a funeral director was not only a personal calling but also an opportunity to make a difference in people’s lives by helping them navigate the end-of-life process.
Sean Kimmins, a licensed funeral director and embalmer at Stephenson-Shaw Funeral Home, also joins us to share his personal experience of receiving a kidney donation from a living donor. He talks about how this experience changed his life and inspired him to become an advocate for organ donation awareness.
As we delve deeper into the conversation, it becomes clear that both funeral directors are dedicated to promoting organ donation awareness and supporting those in need.
