So I know that there are others in the same boat as me, but whenever I tell someone that I work in the funeral industry, they always want to tell me a joke. Being a second generation funeral director I have been hearing them for quite some time, and they are all the same. There are some that I actually think are funny, but for the most part I am tired of hearing them. So I thought this would be a good time to get them out of the way. Here are my favorites:
-
“You are the last one to them down.”
-
“Everyone is dieing to see you.”
-
“At least the customers never talk back.”
-
“How was work today? Pretty dead?”
There is also a joke that gets emailed around about a funeral director switching heads on two bodies because that would supposedly be easier than switing suits. (If that one gets emailed to me again I will probably freak) If anyone else can think of some that I forgot, feel free to post it in the comment section. Lets see if there are some I have never heard of.
This is John’s mom – since my husband has been a funeral director for over 30 years I have had my share of jokes also.
The one that people thought the funniest in the 80s was: “I’ll never stand you up, and I’ll be the last to let you down.”
Did you hear the one about the funeral director that buried an attorney 12′ deep – because deep down he felt he was a good person.
