Could you date, sleep with, marry a Mortician? (wife, man, love)

[Giesela]

I don't think I could. I couldn't even watch 6 feet under.

You can think of someone nice like Vada's dad in "My Girl" xD

Very Secure Job. No worse than a PHD at a medical university that teaches doctors working on cadavers.

Yes. I do horrible painful things to sweet innocent babies sometimes trying to make them better. It is part of my job. To me that's worse.

I love Six Feet Under, by far my favorite show of all-time. I have my gf hooked on it, we're starting the last season tonight (can't wait to see her reactions to what happens!)

The show actually made me extremely interested in the field. I think I'm good at dealing with grief not body restoration, so I'd probably be like Nate doing intakes and handling the funerals.

If he were a great guy, sure. Why not.

How about if you meet a guy, fall in love with him, start living together, have children, and then he realizes that his calling is to become a mortician? He comes home beaming, saying that a local funeral home offered him a mortician apprenticeship!! What then?

No way, no how, never. Way too creepy for me.

[Chanteuse d' Opéra]

No.

Now that you mention it, a man I work with wifes a Pathologist - again a no.
Hands that have been there are not going....there. The whole dead body thing...nope.
CSI and all that, its interesting science but I wouldn't even want to be in the room. And its definately cremation for me.
