I am on my feet all day and walk about 13k steps daily. Before I bought these, I was replacing my shoes every 4-6 months. I've had these now for 1.5 years and they're still going strong. I've replaced the laces once and shined then a few times, but the soles and stitching are amazing. They are not made of rubber, like most shoes. They are polyurethane. I'll never buy anything else.
If you feel itching in your eyes/throat, I would definitely wear protective gear. Personally, I use this model by 3M, with filters specific for formaldehyde. And gas-tight safety goggles.
Personally, I can't bury a child without seeing my own. Fortunately it's not often. If you haven't already read it I would suggest The Undertaking by Thomas Lynch. There is a chapter in the book that talks about how he deals with the death of a child.
My favorite passage from the chapter and the entire book is "And I would never charge more than the wholesale cost of the casket and throw in our services free of charge with the hope in my heart that God would, in turn, spare me the hollowing grief of these parents."
That is what I do, and it's what a lot of us do, along with many other little touches and rituals. Hoping that if I go the extra mile, I'll be spared. Of course it didn't work for me, I still had to bury one of my own, but, I still do it. It's the right thing to do.
I love Catlin Doughty. She is amazing. I enjoy looking at her blog, YouTube, and most recently reading her book Smoke Gets in Your Eyes.

I would recommend Death, Dying and Human Experience. This was one of our school books.

As other have said, Ralph Klicker writes the books on Funeral Service. Those are mostly textbooks.
If you are looking for something like "tales of funeral service" then I would suggest Thomas Lynch.
Also, Youtube's "Ask a Mortician", Caitlin Doughty has written a few books. Theres probably a few other worthwhile mentions that I cant think of right now.
Theres tons of grief books out there that while they are not directly related to funeral service, they are a good background to what you are getting yourself into. Like "Living with Grief" for example.
