I got this grave yard woman.
To waste! You are unknown and unwanted, save by me. This, because you are fairly adept at the various embalming arts and you occasionally compose a clever epitaph.
I've always said I would want to be a funeral director if I wasn't an actor.
I take classes to be a mortician.
The mortician interviewing the corpses
Who embalms the Undertaker when he dies?
A mortician can make a dead man look better than he ever did when he was alive. So churches like Sardis may appear very much alive when they are dead in the sight of the Lord. God knows the difference.
A lawyer is never entirely comfortable with a friendly divorce, anymore than a good mortician wants to finish his job and then have the patient sit up on the table.
On 'Six Feet Under,' I never really had much to do with the actual business, with the embalming stuff. That wasn't really my role.
You don’t want to ask after the health of anyone, if you’re a funeral director. They think maybe you’re scouting for business.
I have nothing against undertakers personally. It's just that I wouldn't want one to bury my sister.
As I go about I see a lot of "coffin" men. They have room for themselves and nobody else.
He makes a very handsome corpse and becomes his coffin prodigiously.
So Now You're Death: Here's What You'll Need
People ask me what makes a good funeral, and I tell them the most important thing is your man in the casket. If you have a man of substance in there, you have the makings of a first-class funeral.
Probably the undertaker thinks less of death than almost any other man. He is so accustomed to it that his mind must involuntarily turn from its horror to a contemplation of how much he makes out of the burial.
The noblest lord is ushered in By the practicing physician, And the humblest lout is ushered out By a certified mortician. And in between, they find their foyers Alive with summonses from lawyers.
I thought I'd become a funeral director when I wasn't going to be an actor. I thought I would be good at helping some people with the grieving process and with trying to get them to talk about and understand who this person was.
