My friend Mark (who is a ninja) says they are great places to source meaningless sex by preying on emotionally vulnerable women. Apparently that human need to grasp life tightly while mourning gives people the real horn. |

Its a job and takes a very special person . As people are all different and there families in their hours of need they need people they can trust to do a good job and with dignity . |

I'd be terrible. I can't keep a straight face for more than 2 seconds. I'd be busy pissing about, like unscrewing handles on coffins, or chucking some pork into the coffin before cremation. Even the hearse would end up with a bumper sticker saying 'available for dogging' |

I think I would find it too emotionally and mentally draining. I also think it would bore me senseless. I currently work with kids and couldn't think of anything further away from what I do. So no. Not for me. |

"could you work in one? would it get you down with all the sadness and dealing with the dead and with emotional families but still smile I couldnt"
I wouldn't have a problem with it you are helping people achieve closure and i would find solace in that. |

I've worked in a similar role, being surrounded by death gives a unique perspective to life. And being involved in anyones final chapter is a privelege. And it certainly isn't depressing. |

My father began and ended his working life in one, ironically working for forty years in between for the NHS, and he loved it. I think it helps that he has remarkably dry sense of humour, bordering on gallows.
The stories he would regale us with at mealtimes.
Thanks for that dad! |
