Meghan’s Guide to the NBE / Funeral Service
Hello, there!
This is a recorded audio study guide for both the NBE Arts and Science sections for Funeral Service.
I have devoted myself to creating a solid audio study guide so that my fellow test takers can finally have one that is not only easily accessible, but is also highly educational and comprehensive. This Podcast will be divided up into Arts and Sciences sections, with segments under each including more in-depth notes and study guides that I have put together either on my own or from submissions from other classmates/testers. If you would like to add your own contribution, please email me at meghan.dmfh@gmail.com or message me on Facebook under Meghan Opocensky. I am ALWAYS extremely appreciative of any additional content I can get to add!
Thank you so much for choosing to join me for my study sessions and I hope that together we can get you through this and pass with flying colors!
Just remember, there is no true way to be completely prepared for these exams asides from knowing the content. You will not be able to pass with just a quick rehashing of the information, so please do not rely on these guides as your only means of preparation last-minute. I want to see you succeed! I always tell people to read their textbooks as the exams are pulled almost word-for-word from them, I highly recommend reading the 21st Century Funeral Directing & Funeral Service Management, Grief Counseling/Psychology, Sociology for Funeral Service textbook and Types of Funeral Services & Ceremonies 2nd Edition for Arts, Embalming: History, Theory, & Practice, Restorative Arts and Science, Chemistry, Pathology and Anatomy textbooks for Science. If you read these during your time in Mortuary school-I encourage you to still read them again. ESPECIALLY your 21st Century one!
I will provide a good amount of notes pulled directly from these textbooks, but you’ll still want to read them beforehand so you can have a solid understanding of these topics beforehand. KNOW YOUR DEFINITIONS!

Funeral Directing - NBE Religious Terms : Quizlet (PART 1)
Hi again friends and future funeral professionals!
Firstly, here is the link to the Quizlet I used to put this episode together for y'all:
Content creator: Glenda_Rosales4
https://quizlet.com/368728921/funeral-directing-nbe-religious-terms-flash-cards/
This episode will cover A LOT of really important information to help you prepare for your exam, however I will be doing what I have promised and planned to do with two new guest co-hosts that both practice the respective religions each episode is going to cover (Jewish and Muslim funeral rites and terminology), so please remain patient with me while I coordinate with the two of them, I should have Jewish done this upcoming weekend and hopefully Islam soon after!
Also: as I always say: GO REREAD YOUR DARN TEXTBOOKS! They'll save your butt, I promise! Anything you see in your textbooks regarding ANY AND ALL RELIGION WILL BE VITAL AND ABSOLUTELY IMPORTANT TO PREPARING FOR YOUR ARTS NBE, I PROMISE!
The most crucial textbook for this section being:
Types of Funeral Services and Ceremonies (I have the 2nd Edition, worked for me just fine)
I have also started a YouTube Channel to coincide with this Podcast that I highly suggest following and subscribing to if you have not already! I will be offering in-depth visual aids of the various places of worship, casket construction and parts, etc.!

As always, thank you all so much for you continued support!
MAKE SURE YOU LISTEN TO MY HINTS.
I CANNOT DO MUCH ELSE TO HELP YOU!
I plan on embarking on the very difficult journey of religions soon. I've been holding off on purpose because I get super embarrassed if I mispronounce things, so I'm trying to research and write out proper pronunciation FIRT! Same with the rest of the topics I have yet to touch on.
We ARE finally approaching the end of Arts, and soon I can start up on Sciences! I know maaaaany listeners have been eagerly awaiting that section, and trust me I am TRYING to hurry!
I appreciate your continued patience!
