To pay them less? That's so fucked up.
Because, they can shamelessly pay them less and get away with it?
so i guess it was a massive red flag when i asked them how many cameras were in the room during my interview
No, but telling them about your Twitch channel was a bad idea.
"Yes sir, I do onlyfans as a side gig."
Yes but...
Yes, but that's temporary. They'll get tender after a while 💖

I mean, honest question that I really do not want to google. Is this actually a wide spread problem?
wide spread
Ok that ones on me, I should’ve caught that
Ok that ones on me
That's what the corpse said!
I had an ex who worked in this field, she went to mortuary school and worked in mortuaries, before that she worked in organ transplant. She went into the field because of a combination of personal tragedy (a close one passing away at an early age) and seeing how delicately the mortuary handled the event.
Anyhow, she and I would talk about it often. One of the things she would note on, wasn’t that it was sexual based things men would do (besides general office sexism coming from men on occasion), but more about the level of respect they showed the deceased. Crude Comments they’d make about their weight, features etc…
So I think it just depends and it would be difficult to verify these other claims because the “victims” are deceased and most things related to it seem to be anecdotal.
I’m also not going to google necro in anyway
(Also yes, she was kinda emo/metal an had some pretty sick tattoos)
seeing how delicately the mortuary handled the event
I sure wish I'd had this experience with the funeral home I picked out when my dad died. I called them to arrange to pick up his body, and the answering service was AI and obviously so. I gave them his name and the voice read it back to me to confirm it as "Robert common name R-O-B-E-R-T, Smith common name S-M-I-T-H". Then the owner ghosted me for more than a week and only delivered the urn with the ashes in the night before the internment at 8:00, left it outside and split before I could talk to him. 8 grand well spent.
DoorDash getting in the mortuary services game huh?! Those rascally innovators, wonder what they'll innovate next!
All jokes aside, I should add, that fucking sucks, and is real gross, and I'm sorry you had to pay through the nose for the privilege of experiencing such a tasteless money-grab. Yuck.
pay through the nose for the privilege of experiencing such a tasteless money-grab
My father wanted us to get the cheapest option when he passed and then to spend the money on a party instead. We obliged.
Well, it turns out that once you go under a certain price, it also starts getting tasteless, even if it's cheap.
The guy showed up. Nice black suit that is too large for him. Wondering where he got that. After accessing the situation (a corpse on the first floor) he then asks if we could help him carry the corpse down the stairs.
So we do, and following his direction holdning my father by the arms as we try to solve the "sofa problem" with my father's corpse in my childhood home staircase.. he ask us to shift to the shoulders to avoid breaking his arms off around the corner. As we finally get my father on a rolling stretcher, he asks if we could get him dressed quickly before the stiffness sets in. As we do it, my dead father rips a nasty dead fart.
Exactly how he had always wanted it.
Personally I actually enjoyed the process of having to be the one to carry him out of the house feet first instead of having a stranger do it. But other than that, I would advise anyone to not ask for the cheapest option.

True. Humans only become valuable once they are dead.
They only say you were a good person once you are dead, say you were too young, they go "if only we knew, they seemed fine" if you kill yourself, then go to imvestigate, once you are already dead.
How many writers were ridiculed and rejected, before becoming famous AFTER their death?
Once you are more like an object, once you have no more feelings, is when they start actually valuing you for what you were.
Same as how people will value their cars, or precious things more than people.
Same as how people romanticise native americans, years after they were almost exterminated completelly (while mostly treating those still alive like shit).
Shitty pay, crappy hours, being surrounded by the dead all the time... You either gotta love the job or end up loving the dead...
Some jobs need to be done, but who's to do them? Can one be completely sane and handle this kind of life without issue for years on end? Most of the people employed tell themselves it's just a job and spend their time dodging the reality of handling the dead all the time, but a few.. well.. they go all in.
Normal is a state of mind that has us come to grips with that which is beyond our control.
My wife was in the funeral industry for a while and studying mortuary sciences. She says she left because it was too depressing being pressured to upsell grieving families all the time.
Let it be known, if it is too costly to shape my ashes into a spear and shoot it into the heart of the sun, or to build a statue of me Conan-posing on a throne of skulls surrounded by scantily-clad babes, just put me in a coffee can with some fireworks and light the fuse
There is a lesson here. Have these conversations today with your loved ones about final arrangements. I promise you that many of them would rather be buried in a casket from Costco and have the money spent on literally anything else.
This is especially true if they're going to be cremated.

There was some (mildly) famous case, I think a book was written about it, of a woman who was a necrophiliac and worked at a morgue. There was a big reddit thread about it years ago.
Bit chauvinistic to assume women can't be necrophiles if they put their minds to it, innit?
Unlike the FBI I don't make crass assumptions about my perverts.
Also corpses turn rigid.
Just saying.
I doubt even the premise is true
Can we get more than twelve pixels on this repost of a repost of a repost of a repost of a repost?
That person appears to have a face under their nose.
I'm guessing pixel blasted septum piercing
What exactly are the reasons?
Apparently they think women don't wanna fuck corpses. But I am pretty sure the people that go into that industry are probably cut from the same cloth
If that's actually the reason then I must be doing pretty good mentally because it would've taken me a while to think of that, not a "we all know because it's obvious" tier thing

It's mechanically difficult for women to do it since corpses don't have blood flow. Much more creativity needed.
Oh hey, that reminds me of Karen Greenlee
nsfw
you'd have to be there I guess
I would prefer not thanks Karen
