The new face of morticians: Young, beautiful, classy and smart

They are beautiful, stylish and well-spoken. Interacting with them is such a delight. They are bubbling and a ball of energy. It is hard to imagine they spend their days and nights interacting with the dead. No fancy dresses or heels to the office, but a pair of boots and long hanging jackets. They have made peace with it.

The most common question they receive is what drugs they use to help them cope with their daily work.
And definitely don’t call them ‘undertaker’, as many people do. It is considered a derogatory term in the industry.
And the worst? “Someone might ask you, ‘Is that not similar to working at a dumpsite?’” one of them told The Nairobian when we spoke to six morticians from different counties regarding their work.
