To pay them less? That's so fucked up.

so i guess it was a massive red flag when i asked them how many cameras were in the room during my interview

No, but telling them about your Twitch channel was a bad idea.

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!

[–] Kalothar@lemmy.ca 63 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

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)

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

seeing how delicately the mortuary handled the event

I sure wish I'd had this experience with the funeral home I picked out when my dad died. I called them to arrange to pick up his body, and the answering service was AI and obviously so. I gave them his name and the voice read it back to me to confirm it as "Robert common name R-O-B-E-R-T, Smith common name S-M-I-T-H". Then the owner ghosted me for more than a week and only delivered the urn with the ashes in the night before the internment at 8:00, left it outside and split before I could talk to him. 8 grand well spent.

DoorDash getting in the mortuary services game huh?! Those rascally innovators, wonder what they'll innovate next!

All jokes aside, I should add, that fucking sucks, and is real gross, and I'm sorry you had to pay through the nose for the privilege of experiencing such a tasteless money-grab. Yuck.

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.

[–] toynbee@piefed.social 40 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

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.

[–] xkbx@startrek.website 21 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] Nollij@sopuli.xyz 11 points 2 weeks ago (5 children)

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.

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.

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

Just think of it that way.

There was some (mildly) famous case, I think a book was written about it, of a woman who was a necrophiliac and worked at a morgue. There was a big reddit thread about it years ago.

[–] BanMe@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago

Bit chauvinistic to assume women can't be necrophiles if they put their minds to it, innit?

Unlike the FBI I don't make crass assumptions about my perverts.

Because, they can shamelessly pay them less and get away with it?

[–] Pacattack57@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago (37 children)

No because men rape the dead bodies of women

What exactly are the reasons?

[–] okwhateverdude@lemmy.world 69 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Apparently they think women don't wanna fuck corpses. But I am pretty sure the people that go into that industry are probably cut from the same cloth

[–] Soulg@ani.social 37 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

If that's actually the reason then I must be doing pretty good mentally because it would've taken me a while to think of that, not a "we all know because it's obvious" tier thing

It's mechanically difficult for women to do it since corpses don't have blood flow. Much more creativity needed.

Less pay, longer hours, and the hiring manager plans to sexually harass his workforce.

A woman surrounded by stiffs, anything could happen.

[–] BagOfHeavyStones@piefed.social 8 points 2 weeks ago

Reminds me of the old Tom Lehrer joke:

"...a story about a young necrophiliac who finally achieves his boyhood ambition by becoming coroner.

... The rest of you can look it up when you get home."
