Yesterday I had the fortunate or unfortunate opportunity to experience working at a funeral home and attend a service. Long story short, my neighbor is a funeral director. I owed him a favor and he called on that favor. One of his attendants got the flu and he was short on staff.
9-5 went by fast. I helped the embalmer with the.... Embalming process. Wash and Dress up the deceased, and helped cremate the deceased. I attended one of the scheduled funeral service and got a $100 tip. I don't know how to describe it...very emotional I guess. The embalmer lady was very nice though.
Now that I think about it, this is a job that I can easily do. My neighbor said his attendants, on a bad week, works 30 hours but still take home around $800.
Thoughts?

Sounds fun.

If you think you can handle it, then go for it. Almost like EMT/paramedic work, you have to expect the unexpected in that line of work. Natural death or illness is one thing, but severe trauma and physically disfigured victims is on a different playing field.

Helping people through a difficult time can be a calling. All honest work is honerable.

I'm doing almost the opposite. I am a minister (pastor) who is suffering from people burnout and I am going into trucking to get away from all the emotion and stress of dealing with people.
