The shadow made me realize that the work would be too heavy for me. No way could I do it and be as positive and calm as that guy.

Lol. Did people actually know that's what he did for a living? I've also heard some of them have sex with corpses.

I applied for a job to be a funeral driver when I was in my early 20s, driving a hearse around and transporting dead bodies. I didn't get the job though, wasn't qualified enough.
Wow turned you down from driving a corpse? What qualifications did they need? You are brave though.

Do you visit their houses?
Do you eat their food?
I'm not disrespecting the profession as it's a vital one but just wanted to know.
A dead body is just a dead body. Not greatly unique about them. They just stink sometimes.

By the end of the day I was glad to get away from it. I was able to take liquids just fine but eating did feel a little weird. Maybe it's something you'd get used to, but it was pretty heavy stuff.
