It was the definition of an odd job. Canadian radio journalist Tom Jokinen took a job as an apprentice undertaker in Winnipeg, Manitoba. He spent a year poking and prodding his way to a deeper understanding of what happens after people die, but before they're gone forever.
I looked into being a freelance embalmer. Wear a beeper, get paid extra for HIV deaths (at the time), don't have to dress.
Then I figured, I already had a job that I didn't overly want. Plus, there was a required "Hair and Makeup" class- and it wasn't for MY hair and makeup, if you get my drift. (Mount Ida College, Newton, Mass., which I think absorbed the New England School of Mortuary).
Nah. Most funeral people inherit a family business, at least, that's my observation.
