Someone who spends a lot of their time walking around a funeral home probably has some sore feet. Funeral home workers have to dress well as they spend their days walking around a well decorated funeral home, and are probably super excited to slip off their dress shoes and get out of their dress clothes every time they get home, and you can make that an even better time for them with a new pair of cozy slippers. 

Roysclo’s Cloud slippers will make a funeral home employee feel like they are walking on a cloud, something that will be a welcomed change after walking for hours on funeral home floors. They are lightweight, flexible, and soft, and made with quality material that lasts.

After wearing dressy clothes all day at work, it's probably a relief for a funeral home employee to take everything off and finally get comfortable.

Something else that can change someone’s mood after they’ve had a long day is tea. A relaxing tea set can help a funeral home employee wind down after a long day on their feet. Managing a funeral space can’t be easy on the emotions, but some tea can always be helpful. Teas like lavender, chamomile, or even herbal tea can be calming.

When someone is working at a funeral home, it's probably the case that they sometimes want some time to themselves even when they’re surrounded by people. That is why noise canceling headphones can make such a great gift. So whenever a funeral home employee is sitting on their own while a service is going on, it would be great if they could remove themselves mentally by blocking out the noise. 

The Soundcore noise canceling headphones will give a funeral home employee peace whenever they are at work surrounded by people. These headphones are wireless, connect to bluetooth, and have an adjustable fit. It will make them feel like they are alone even when they know there are crowds of people in the same building. 

8. Slow-Cooker

Since funeral home employees can spend hours at work each day, they could use a good meal that they don’t have to spend time preparing. It can be hard for them to enjoy home cooked meals when they have to be at work for hours on end, but with a slow cooker at home, they can quickly prepare something on the way and have it ready to eat by the time they get home! 

A slow cooker from Amazon will make food over several hours while your friend is at work. All they will need to do is put the ingredients together, turn the slow cooker on the right setting, and leave. When they come back in a few hours, they will be welcomed by a fully cooked meal. Everything made in this crock pot will also be nice and creamy.

9. Tote Bag

A bag with all the room you need.

When someone’s job requires them to be available for others almost all the time, they can’t easily slip out to grab anything important whenever they need to, so a tote bag can make a great gift. A tote bag can be large enough to carry anything a funeral home employee needs inside, and be subdued enough to be carried around with any outfit. As long as the tote bag is neutral and can fit in with the average funeral home color palette, a funeral home employee can carry it around each day, even if they carry other bags. 

A Bogg bag was made for people with a lot to carry, so a funeral home employee will never need to rush back home for anything extra. It has cup holders, different inserts for storage, and comes in different neutral colors that won’t stand out at work. 

This tote bag from L. L. Bean is the perfect bag for someone who has a lot of needs to address at work. It looks like a classic tote bag, but is also water repellent and works well as a travel bag as well. So they can always go straight from the office to anywhere.
