How To Know Whether You Would Make a Good Mortician
The first thing I imagine people think I should say is that you need to have a strong stomach. This couldn’t be less true. I have been a Mortician for almost two years now and I have never been in a situation where my weak stomach has almost turned inside out. Sure, when I first began, the initial shock of seeing a person inanimate was a bit intimidating. You expect them to sit up or roll over and say “just kidding guys!” But they just continue to lay there with their mouth agape. And when I was presented with somebody who had laid in a pond for over a week, even then my stomach didn’t turn because I had a job to do and you tend to be much too focused on that. So my initial statement is this: you do not necessarily have to have a strong stomach to become a mortician.
