Who picks you up when you die? | feat. Jake Halbeck
Over the next year, 56 million people around the world will die. That’s 106.6 per minute, 1.8 people every second, every day. That’s a lot of deaths. And it’s someone’s job to pick those people up and take them where they need to go. But who picks you up when you die? A few curiosities you’ll uncover in this episode: Why’s there such a high divorce rate among morticians?Why does the person who picks you up wear a suit and tie?How did the Civil War change funeral services?Did You Know? Want to hear a joke? This one’s from Jake: What do you call a mortician with a bad back? Unemployed. (With physical labor like that, if you don’t get those day-to-day movements right you can destroy your body.)
