I mean, honest question that I really do not want to google. Is this actually a wide spread problem?

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)

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.

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.

[–] toynbee@piefed.social 3 points 1 hour ago

All of my loved ones want to have their organs donated to science, then have the leftovers cremated.

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

You know that Dr. Who meme? The one where the blonde woman asks "Is it a lot?"

Just think of it that way.

I'm guessing it's hard to come by reliable stats. It's on the same level as priests abusing children, the cover-up would be extensive. But, it's even harder, because the corpse can't testify in court, or make a YouTube video.

I fucking hate humans.
