I work in a building that originally was a funeral parlor. As long as there are no dead bodies here now, what the hell?
If your present house is over 100 years old, the odds are very good that someone did die in it.
Need to know why I might be in the situation of sleeping in a room with a dead body. While the idea doesn’t really bother me I am hard pressed to think how it would come about.
The closest I can think of was when my grandfather died at home, we were on a “death watch” with lots of people in the house. He passed at around 3 in the morning and the people from the funeral home didn’t come until 7 in the morning or so. I slept on the floor of the hallway outside his bedroom without issue and I don’t think it would have been different if for some reason there’d been reason for me to sleep inside the room.
The triple murder wouldn’t bother me at all so long as there was no reason to think I too might be in danger (if an unknown assailant murder my wife and children leaving a note saying he’d return for me then I’d imagine I’d have trouble sleeping there).
Recently dead bodies are unhygenic how ever you dress it up.
They are in effect decomposing meat which is why the idea of sleeping in the same room as one doesn’t fll me with enthusiasim.
But like other posters a Mummy would be no problem.
As to sleeping in a room where I knew a triple murder had taken placeI think that I’d find it depressing.
