Being deceased is an occupation

Well, at least it's full-time and permanent...

No benefits I assume.

It doesn't pay much, and the job satisfaction is nil.

What annoys is that is still assumes that there is only one parent who should be named, even when he is no longer alive. It is time that the traditional format of marriage certificates was brought up to date, particularly in these times of serial marriages of parents, or no marriage at all.

But at least you have a roof over your head

Zero hours contract, of course...

The ultimate internship?

People would die for that occupation!

Good bonus every Spring! You help things to grow.

Bit of a dead-end job...

A quiet disposition and very black humour are essential for this job.

Not much hope of promotion though.

It's a dying trade...

Long holidays but nowhere to go

These are killing me.

It's great, isn't it, icy? Best of gransnet

The ultimate boss

Not a ghost of a chance of getting sacked

Anyone see Radio Times? - Billy Connolly is to do a series about death, looking into different practices around it. Apparently it is going to be full of humour (surprise, surprise). It seems that one funeral director had, amongst his accoutrements for preparing a corpse for viewing, a bottle of shampoo for "dull lifeless hair" - oh dear.

A truly heavenly job... at last!

Or possibly the boss from hell?

I don't think much of the promotion prospects, I mean how can you climb the corporate ladder when there's not going to be any movement at the top??

No chance of making a living in this job...

Should have read the contract better. It said inter not intern!
