You dopers are hilarious folks - you would fit in as funeral directors with no problem!
It would be an interesting undertaking.
[A strange smiling woman walks by pushing a wheelbarrow with a body in it]
MRS. SMILEY: Do you dig graves?
NEIL (the Hippie): Yeah, yeah, they’re all right, yeah.
MRS. SMILEY: I’m so glad! I think they’re wonderful!
[Woman picks up and departs. A Vicar enters, quite drunk]
What’s the heaviest corpse you’ve ever moved?
I have worked with some fairly oversized cases - unfortunately I have heard from my colleagues in the industry that these are becoming the norm rather than the exception.
Johnny must be Monty Python fan!
Do your fellow funeral directors provide stiff competition?
Is it true that you can’t spell “funeral” without “F-U-N”?
In my dad’s case, he had a guy who was over 600lbs. They had to break down the wall between two windows and take him out with a crane.
That is a pretty extreme case - I have not yet been called to handle a case of that size, but I have heard of similar cases from numerous colleagues
You dopers are killing me! Looking forward to seeing whatelse you can dig up!
I’d ask a few questions, here, but my best friend is a (former, now runs a motel) funeral director, and can also answer my questions. Coincidentally, he’s also named Steve. I went back to check the OP. Nope. Coffin is in California, My friend is in New York. That just killed my idea on who this OP might be, IRL. Guess I’ll bury my suspicion.
Can you PM me the name of your funeral home?
Hope you do not have a need for services at this time and you are just curious. Check your pm
The puns you folks come up with are hilarious!
I’m just curious.
They’re all part of our plot.
Glad to hear that - cheers!
What’s the difference (if any) from an undertaker?
In California theres no difference at all- undertaker used less nowdays than funeral director
