I can't pretend to really know anything about working in the funeral industry. To me, it seems incredibly bleak. Surrounding oneself with death and people grieving the loss of their loved ones. As someone with major death anxiety, I couldn't possibly handle it. So imagine my surprise when I stumbled upon a meme account that is dedicated to the interesting lives of funeral directors, morticians, and crematory workers.

At first, the account rubbed me the wrong way. It seems kind of inappropriate to joke about such a sacred subject. It seems messed up that the funeral director you hire could be poking fun at cats eating their d*ad owners' faces. But here we are. After a bit more thought, I realized it actually makes a lot of sense. If you work in a morbid industry, you kind of have to have a sense of humor and make light of it all whenever possible. We're not sure how many of you work in this very specific field, but hopefully these memes from @thefunerallife will be enjoyable whether or not you play with dead people for a living.
