What It’s Like to Work in a Morgue

Q: What is the most moving or beautiful experience you have had since you started this journey?

A: I once went to the site where someone died in a tragic accident with the wife of the person who passed. It was no ritual of any culture, but they did their own. We gathered around his place of death with pheasant feathers and took our time to take in the scenery and birds. It was one of the most spiritual things I’ve ever been a part of. 

I was the first person to touch him after he had died (I was transporting him), and his person really stayed with me until that moment, and I could grieve for someone I had never met and let him go. This is why I believe ceremony is so important, no matter how small. After I left, she gave me so much pheasant meat, and my family and I had a lovely dinner.
