Morticians Quotes

• Un abogado nunca se siente del todo cómodo con un divorcio amistoso, igual que un buen funerario no quiere terminar su trabajo y que el paciente se siente en la mesa.

• Un funerario puede hacer que un hombre muerto se vea mejor que cuando estaba vivo. Así que iglesias como Sardis pueden parecer muy vivas cuando están muertas a los ojos del Señor. Dios conoce la diferencia.

• There was something about clowns that was worse than zombies. (Or maybe something that was the same. When you see a zombie, you want to laugh at first. When you see a clown, most people get a little nervous. There's the pallor and the cakey mortician-style makeup, the shuffling and the untidy hair. But clowns were probably malicious, and they moved fast on those little bicycles and in those little crammed cars. Zombies weren't much of anything. They didn't carry musical instruments and they didn't care whether or not you laughed at them. You always knew what zombies wanted.)

• La especialización como modo primario de trascendencia de la muerte adopta otras formas inadaptadas. El afán de poder está motivado en no pocas ocasiones por esta dinámica. El propio miedo y la sensación de limitación se evitan ampliando la propia esfera de control. Hay pruebas, por ejemplo, de que quienes se dedican a profesiones relacionadas con la muerte (soldados, médicos, sacerdotes y funerarios) pueden estar motivados, en parte, por la necesidad de controlar la ansiedad ante la muerte.

• El lenguaje funerario ha tenido sus altibajos. La palabra "funerarios", utilizada por primera vez en el Embalmers Monthly de febrero de 1895, fue prohibida por el Chicago Tribune en 1932, "no por falta de simpatía con la ambición de los enterradores de ser bien considerados, sino a causa de ella. Si no tienen el sentido común de salvarse de sus propios lexicógrafos, no seremos culpables de instigarles en su locura".

• My stay in Camp Betty was the longest I'd been without drink or drugs in my adult life. [...] At first, they put me in a room with a guy who owned a bowling alley, but he snored like an asthmatic horse, so I moved and ended up with a depressive mortician. [...] The mortician snored even louder than the bowling alley guy - he was like a moose with a tracheotomy.
