Abstract	The purpose of this phenomenological qualitative study was to obtain new facts and details about the lived experiences of Ohio funeral directors during their first five years of licensure after graduating from mortuary college. The study aimed to understand these lived experiences as told by the funeral directors to understand better the factors that impact the attrition and retention of new licensees. The collected data is hoped to aid in further considerations of the funeral profession and mortuary college leadership in drafting programs and curricula to meet a changing funeral profession workforce. The findings and implications from the study can also be applied to allied helping professions such as ministry, healthcare, and education to alleviate factors that may contribute to burnout and attrition. The literature review examined factors contributing to funeral directors and similar helping professions that experience burnout and possible techniques to mitigate attrition and burnout. The data collected was analyzed using Colaizzi's (1978) method to extract essential statements to provide a clearer understanding of the observed phenomenon. The interviews and retelling of the experiences of Ohio funeral directors in their initial five years of licensure captured the essence of these experiences and allowed for a greater understanding of the factors that impact attrition and retention of new licensees.
