    imagine him being dead, his funeral is getting prepared and he suddenly wakes up and says no no no you're doing it wrong

    "Victor M. Sweeney" The most victorian-era name ever for a mortician
  • @Jairoppi
    He is the mortici'est mortician i've ever seen > is named Victor Sweeney > dark sense of humour > well dressed and charismatic
  • @bloodhoney13
    I have a huge appreciation for morticians because I lost my mother recently. The mortician that took care of her was above and beyond anything I’d ever imagine. He really cared and made sure everything was exactly as I asked for. I did request him to allow me to do my mother’s makeup and he let me go into the mortuary and do it. It was heavy. It’s something that I will carry with me forever.
  • @noellewinkwonk4258

  • @bloopity4117

  • @terminator3000
    I've met actually a few morticians in my life. One thing they all had in common was that they all had a good sense of humor. I guess you need that for this job, otherwise you would go insane.
  • @Cecile2906
    Victor is such a perfect mortician (the way he dresses, how he looks and speaks, and his wits) that he’s almost like an actor (yes it’s a compliment)
