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!

CHEMISTRY : GLOSSARY TERMS : A Complete Guide to the Science Section of the NBE (Funeral Service/D. Penepent's Guide) Guest: Darien Cain
Hello again my friends, and fellow future funeral professionals!
We are back with A SUPER useful episode pulled from the glossary found in David Penepent's study guide book, A Complete Guide to the Science Section of the National Board of Funeral Services (First Edition), and my surprise, ever-so amazing Guest, Professor Darien Cain!
If you do not already own a copy of your own study guide by David Penepent, don't fret!
It can be purchased on the D.E.A.D website AND if you use "MEG25" (no "" please, or it will not work) at checkout, you will get $25 off you book! If you would like to purchase his guide for Arts as well, feel free to do two transactions if that code doesn't apply to both- but I was told it SHOULD...but we all know how technology can be at times, right?
Here is the link for where to purchase either, or both, study guide books:

In this episode my dear friend, Professor Darien Cain, took the lead and did her own episode past my intro and goodbye portions, and offers some AMAZING educational material you will literally NOT get anywhere else as it is the BRAND NEW content being introduced to everything! So, dear listener(s), you're getting to hear something before everyone else does! Is that not AWESOME!? I thought you would enjoy that one with me.
Everything she covers will be useful to know for your Science NBE, so I do recommend following her advice and give it another listen or two. Chemistry can seriously either break you or make you during that exam.
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!
