Its not peaceful, but its all behind a closed metal door.

For the love of god, we dont go full mummy and sew the lips shut. Anyone who says that is likely talking about suturing, which is all internal.

Happens a lot. We arent crooks. This is a business. I know some funeral homes can be shifty, but we are not all like that.

We dont live at the funeral home. We commute to work. Some of us are 15 minutes away. It will take 30 minutes at least for us to even be pulling out of the garage with the van.

Funny story. My brother asked me to tie his tie. I tied it on myself, and I couldnt get the length right. So I did it this way. After I was done, he realized why and got wigged.

Another story from a fellow student. Apparently, she was told she could get it, but then told it was at the estate lawyer. She called them liars and left in a huff.

Yes, I see dead people. Sometimes 4-5 a day. It all just depends.

Of course it gets depressing. But we hide it well.
