About
Frank Perman is a funeral director, author, speaker, entrepreneur and storyteller who has spent more than 36 years helping families through some of life's most difficult moments.
That unusual front-row seat to life, death, grief and remembrance has given Frank a perspective few speakers can offer: the people who have died leave behind powerful lessons for those of us still living.
Through heartfelt stories, unexpected humor and decades of real-world experience, Frank speaks about love, relationships, regret, gratitude, resilience and what ultimately matters. He invites audiences to think differently about how they are living now, sharing the perspective of someone who has spent a career seeing life from the other end.
