I grew up in a funeral home, went into the field, and now collect old hearses to use as daily cars. ❤

It wasn’t the Undertakers items you saw; it was his manager (and longtime dear friend) Paul Bearer, AKA William “Bill” Moody. Fun fact is in real life he was a funeral Director and owned his own Funeral Home in Mobile Alabama. He is greatly missed.

@Justnobody0950 2 ай бұрын

I've said so many times I wised I had studied and became a mortician and had my own funeral home. Being around dead bodies has never bothered. I think if you can help a grieving person or family from the loss of a loved one in the final moments of seeing them, has it's rewards. You learn to actually grieve with them, and at the same time, it's just another day on the job. I had a great uncle who was a mortician in Mobile, Alabama, and he told me then I should become a mortician also. That I would always have work to do as long as I wanted it because people are going to die sooner or later. And I remember asking him when I was a teenager. Why in the world did he like being around dead people all the time. And he answered, "Sport, to understand the living, you have to commun with the dead!" In today's times we are living in, I think he was right.

Thank you Scott, so respectfully recorded. I wonder if you agree with me that with few exceptions, American museums are so wonderfully designed and accomplished compared to the British. I've been shocked at some of the places I've been to that I know have had millions spent building them.

This is the neatest museum I've ever seen and made for a sensational video. For some I've become a bit melancholy. Maybe because it's the holidays and I miss my folks. They've been gone for a while now: my dad 2006 and my mom 2009. 🙍🏻‍♀️ Life can quite often be, well, it's difficult sometimes. Happy Holidays! 🎄🎄🎄

Absolutely fascinating! Thank you for sharing! I will probably never have the opportunity to go, so this was very interesting. I have some experience running a crematorium. Not for people, but pets. The process is exactly the same, however the crematory is smaller. I always found it a great honor to take care of people's beloved pets. It can be very hard on owners and their families. I had many requests for things to be placed in urns with pets or in the crematory. The hardest part of the job is the grinding process. It takes more time than you'd think. A cat requires several hours. A large dog 12 to 18. I have done everything from someone's parakeet to a pot belly pig. This trip through the museum was very interesting.
