Many funeral homes across this country are inadequately stocked with necessary supplies, especially those used in restorative art.  It is not uncommon for funeral homes to only stock lip wax;  wound filler, surface restorer, mastics, putties, etc. are not even made available.  Please discuss why you feel having the proper restorative art supplies stocked and readily available is important.  Imagine you are having a discussion with your employer who owns the funeral home and that person tells you it is not in the budget to buy every type of wax available.  How would you respond?  How does limiting supplies limit your abilities?
