date a funeral director?

[CM97]

That's it really - aibu (not me actually but a friend) to think this would feel weird, especially if they live above their work?

Just feels a bit odd.

Yabu.

YABVU. Funeral directors are kind, empathetic people who provide a really important service with care and dignity. What part of that wouldn’t you want to date?

Plenty of money, compassionate and knows how to wear a suit - whats not to like?
A friend of mine married a funeral Director and now works in the family business, she's very happy

You're right OP. Funeral directors and all those who work in a field where they come into contact with the deceased, should not be allowed to have relationships.

🙄

Why not?!
Genuinely what’s weird about it?

Funeral directors are still people.

Of course it's not weird

I think he could be dead romantic.

God, Brits are unusually skittish around death.

The undertakers I know are all extremely financially comfortable, if that helps.

He’ll never be short of business.

YABU Why is it weird?

Would you feel the same way about dating, say, a pathologist?

Haha ok I won't mention it to her 😂
Idk, I think it's living above it would put me off.

Why would it be weird? It wouldn't bother me at all.

Some of the kindest people. Calm, gentle.

I presume not all FDs are single so some people must date them?

YABU

I think it's more that he lives above where he works that I thought felt odd. I guess he's used to it.

They are generally well off, our local one is anyway, though more people are having direct cremations so that might curtail the income a bit.

We live next to an undertakers...

Is that also weird??

He might be elected leader in the zombie apocalypse, he's definitely worth dating

I might get this put on a tshirt

Don't be that friend. The one that just always has to burst your bubble rather than just being happy for you.

This is so weird. If he lives above the parlour, what do you think is going to happen?

I was at a funeral recently and one of the staff was super hot. I got a bit distracted! I definitely would have dated him.

I think I’d like that. If he’s any good he’ll be emphatic and have good perspective.

I work with a lot of dying people though.

This sounds like someone's just watched The Lochdubh Deluxe episode of Hamish Macbeth!

Looks nice in a suit, kind to people, can drive a large vehicle, not short of work, sounds good to me.
