Conclusion The opioid crisis is not going away. On the contrary, it is found in every suburb and small town, affecting people of all ages. Opioid use is growing and rapidly expanding its deadly reach. If a funeral director has not had a death call regarding someone who was using opioids for pain or a death from an opioid overdose, it is just a matter of time. Knowing the precautions and steps to take beforehand is important. Most important, it would benefit funeral directors and funeral home staff to get trained to administer naloxone to assist not only the mourner overdosing in the parking lot but also the embalmer in the prep room.
