I've never really liked seeing the deceased in viewings. It feels false to me, as if the body is an offence to the essence.
However that's just a personal thing. Behind IPU, I've probably most intimately dealt with the dead, in that I went to medical school and studied anatomy. I can't say I really enjoyed it. |

I have read that there is a huge mortician shortage looming with all of the baby boomers nearing old age.

Another reason I got out is that I was getting tired of working with my wife's family. It's tough to do that and not strain family relationships.
