I was forced to pay for embalming and a coffin for my mother who was being cremated. All because I wanted a viewing and service. Charged $300 just to pick her up at the hospital. It's a racket
When I die I want to donate my organs for saving lives :3 And also I want to be burried hugging my plushies and pillows and wearing my favorite baggy hoodie
@boyd riddle I love watching her channel! Watched her 2 videos about pet loss after losing my Sadie girl. Honestly helped during those two rough weeks.
@drownedcreation you good son? i didn't attack you in any way but ok if you don't wanna have a conversation no ones stopping you. nice superiority complex btw
Yea..... My mum's a nurse in the city government hospital. She currently works in the surgery department. So like, there was this one time a dude got chased and completely MAULED by a bull. Apparently, despite him being almost dead the incharge of the ward still got him admitted. That night the dude had some sort of seizure at 3am and died while struggling quite a lot. The next morning the staff didn't find him intact. Apparently, his insides and blood were sprayed out in the entire room and blood was everywhere. My mum still says that the scene gives her nightmares even after so long.
I went to my grandma's funeral when I was 10 and got so freaked out because she looked like she was sleeping. I thought that at any moment she would open her eyes and sit up in the casket. Now I know she was pumped with red embalming fluid and I honestly feel better for knowing this. The mortician did such a great job with her body! Much respect!
I was a wreck when my grandma died. I needed help going to the coffin. And seeing her like that was too much and I left the room. It's been so many years, but I don't think I'll ever be "over it."
I went to my great uncle's funeral in Ohio in January 2013. I swear to this day I saw him blink in the casket. It looked to me as if he was still breathing, but in a vegetative state.
I can't tell if the "pumped with red embalming fluid made me feel better" part is a sarcastic comment or genuine... i mean i'd be way more comfortable knowing someone wasn't full of blood after death but
I feel like he's seen stuff but.. by his attitude&energy I feel like he would say something on the lines of - just another day at the office when something scary comes out lol
I think morticians are thought of as cold, uncaring unethical monsters, but they're actually humane people who help get through hard times and grief for the family they're working for.
Thank you for humanizing this process. Death is something that many fear talking about, but knowing what to expect and not fearing it can make the process even a small degree more approachable during a time of stress and grief.
I really like morticians. I’m an omnist and I believe that death is not a thing to fear at all and morticians are just like some of the only people I’ve talked to who agree with me about death. A dead body is not a scary thing, it’s just a body that’s no longer a person, nothing changed about the body itself just cause they died other than rotting after a while
@kim jong unnie The "uncanny valley" describes things that creep us out because they look _almost_ human but clearly aren't. A corpse is at the deep end of the "uncanny valley" - as close as you can get to a human being without being one. Unless you count walking corpses, I guess...
when he said to help a mother see his son one more time hit me because i lost my uncle and seeing my grandma absolutely hurt me since this is her second child she’s lost the other one being my other uncle. props to these people for real !
The most painful experience in one's lifetime is to give birth and bury your children. 😭 lost both my aunts and my gran outlived them after the 2nd daughter she lost, she followed and went to heaven and after that an uncle of mine passed. 😭
At a funeral one time as a child, I opened a door where someone was being embalmed and they were hooked up to all kinds of machines that were pumping and stuff. I thought they were still alive, essentially like on life support or something.. Freaked me out for a long time
My grandpa was a mortician. We legit came back to some being alive. My mom would bring her dates to his job and he would get the bodies to sit up and scare her dates away. Loved my grandpa.
Well they do that because A your eyeballs start drying out fairly soon after death so they look sunken. And B to keep your eyes closed during the service
My aunt is a mortician and she loves her job. The reason for her career choice was that she always wanted to be a doctor but hate giving injecting needles for taking blood or injecting a vaccine etc into kids and other people and seeing them cry. She rather put needles in dead people instead. She says it's a relaxing job in a sense and its an honouring and fulfilling to have to give the family a good last look on their loved one who looks peaceful and dressed nicely in the coffin.
My aunts a hairdresser and was requested by one of her clients to do her mum's makeup and hair for their funeral and she said she talked with her, asked her what colors she'd like for her eye makeup and complimented her hair all the same as a living person. She felt odd doing someone's hair and makeup without them responding, so she used her own discretion by still asking and seeing what suited her face and hair to make her look most like mum again.
reminds me of those “meeting with characters in costumes” in themeparks that doing very well at “acting” . lolll i know this guy is real but somehow i got that impression
So I knew that my dad and my grandfather were funeral directors. But I didn't realize that they prepared bodies as well until my mom told me just a few months ago. She would even go sometimes to help him collect a body (being a nurse, she has a pretty strong stomach). Thank you for explaining more of what this job is, gives me a new perspective I never had of my closest relatives.
They must have forgotten that cream on my sister. She looked bad. I had thought about that, because her earrings she always wore had gotten lost at the hospital. We got the closest replacements we could find and I volunteered to put them in. So, I also brought a brush, a beauty blender and some lip gloss. Her hair was okay, just very stiff, so I smoothed it out. The foundation and blush was sort of cakey, smoothed that out. But her lips! Totally cracked and dry. A touch of gloss, much better. It helped my nephew, he said she looked like his mom and not a mannequin.
if you havent already can you talk about what kind of classes you had to take in order to become a mortician and possibly go into a little detail on what they are about ?
He is right about the help his profession gives to the family. My Mum and Dad have both passed away and I was responsible for their being collected , and the calm, professional, respectful manner of the mortician was a very great benefit.
Watching this, I can’t believe everything the horror game The Mortuary Assistant got right about the embalming process. That game had to have been really well-researched.
This was one of the most interesting videos I’ve watched in a long time. I never knew so much went into preparing someone who’s passed for their funeral.
This guy is cool because he’s in a hard field , I even see he’s aware that ppl are often creeped out by this topic so he handles it well, with kind of a “I know this grosses you out but just listen” vibe. Awesome.
What a wonderful service morticians provide. Allowing a final goodbye and taking care of so much during such a difficult time for the departed's family. These people and hospice workers are some of the best we have.
Such a charismatic fellow too. I must say I wouldn't mind someone like that taking care of me after I die, rather, I feel like I would be able to be at rest.
He looks like a very polite villan but also i really like how he answers all the questions and giving us new informations,while showing us his weapons hahahaha future corps, arent we all?!
OMFG!!!! When you think you've got to the end of the internet and you stumble on to this guy. Thumbs up man, now I know how you do it, always asked my self dough on these things. With certainty, you, proctologists, gynecologists and those in legal medicine have by far the best sense of humor.
When my grandma passed away they asked my dad what music they wanted to play and he was completely unsure. The mortician asked about my grandma and found out she was a huge fan of Bonanza. Next thing we knew the theme song of Bonanza began playing at the wake. It actually really broke a lot of the tension of the whole situation.
Almost right at the end when he mentioned that exhumed bodies usually look almost the same even 50 years later, gave me SO much peace. My grandad was embalmed after he passed in 2019 and I hated and still did until then, the idea that my grandad was rotting away and probably just bones, kind of nice knowing he's still in there
I think the question with why not vertically is getting more and more relevant because most cemeterys, especially in big a big city are 100% full and graves can get insanely expensive just because there is not enough room. A lot of families go for the cremation because it costs so much less at this point.
With regards to the second to last question, I've seen pictures of decades-old embalmed bodies, some did in fact look more or less intact save for the odd mold patch, or drying skin retracting over the mouth and eyeballs... It's quite bizarre to be sure, kind of like seeing ghosts.
@Joshua Gonzalez it's great, it's a dramedy with a whole lot of dark humor and also kinda deep. Watched it all the way through about a year ago, might rewatch it soon with my BF when we finish our current "projects", we've already watched Dexter together.
After watching the game Mortuary Assistant and coming across this video is really cool. The game is pretty realistic for what you have to do in it. Like the tool to close people's mouths. That was cool to see :)
I keep thinking “geez this looks & sounds so painful.” Followed by, “oooh, right. He’s basically the opposite of a doctor.” Also, this dude has amazing style
11:08 If I remember correctly, they bury people vertically in D.C., due to lack of room. I remember I had a teacher who was talking about how her parent were planning to be buried there. She was joking about how when her mother dies, one of the things on her funeral checklist would be "Make sure Mom's tied up.", so she wouldn't end up becoming a pile in the bottom of the casket...
Plot twist: It’s an assumed name, like a stage name. His real name is, like, Jim Duncan or something basic and he’s like “Nah, I’m gonna be Victor M. Sweeney.”
I never thought I'd watch something like this n not be creeped out,yet here I am not creeped out.this guy is amazing w how he breaks things down in a way I'm following easily.i like this guy
something i would be interested to know is if morticians (as this one does) more commonly refer to the corpse as though it's the person or if they refer to it as 'the corpse' or another term that unfamiliarizes the remains.
In the place I interned at sometimes when someone was getting prepped they’d say the name of the person just to know who it was so I didn’t hear many calling them corpses bc we need to use the names to know who they are
honestly i really wanna be a mortician/embalmer death is so interesting and another thing that draws me to it is just the type of people who do this job, it really takes a certain type of person so it'd be so cool to find others like me with a similar personality and a fascination about death
Watch Part 2 with Victor here! >> kzclip.org/video/Pon4Zux5MaQ/бейне.html

The swedish Chef got me crying laughing! Thank you.
Hey WIRED, I have a suggestion. There's a new game called 'The Mortuary Assistant'. Let Victor play it, I'm sure he'll love it.
this guy is so much of a mortician that if he was a character, the author would be criticised for stereotyping lmao love him
Reality is Unrealistic
His surname is Sweeny he’s literally a character
There is an Author and His name is Yahweh.
@CalebWaleb There's a stereotype for just about EVERY group of people/ organization/ collective that you could think of.
@boyd riddle I love watching her channel!
Watched her 2 videos about pet loss after losing my Sadie girl. Honestly helped during those two rough weeks.
This guy is so good! None of his clients ever complained.
@Gift Of The Wild bet
@Gift Of The Wild bro really said:🤓
@Gift Of The Wild r/wooosh
😆
THEY HAD THE TIME of their LIFE
The small but obvious burst of excitement displayed when he gets to dig into his tool stash is heartwarming. ☺️
i mean its true if they get cremated
wth 😭😭😭
Heart warming? Naw that’s creepy 😭
More like heart-emptying
0 COMMENTS? how
I bet people everywhere are dying to meet him!
💀
🤓
well that's quite literal thing to say
Lol 😅😂😂👏👏👌
Best comment I have read on internet today 🤣🤣🤣👏👌
IM DYING 😂😂😂😭😭😭
He's like a villain whom no one suspects at the start of a movie and in the end go "wait, it was the janitor all along?"
@Cosmological Turtle I think it seems fast to you because you read it all at once, but I believe it played out over a week or so in real time.
@drownedcreation Jesus that went hostile fast
@drownedcreation you cannot take a joke don't you?
Am I the only one who thinks he looks like Edward Nygma?
@drownedcreation you good son? i didn't attack you in any way but ok if you don't wanna have a conversation no ones stopping you. nice superiority complex btw
"Everyone is buried intact. If we can at all help it."
Rip to the person he is talking about because the look on his face shows it has happened.
@Professor XXXI know exactly the video you mean
He was literally smiling when he said it.
Yea.....
My mum's a nurse in the city government hospital. She currently works in the surgery department.
So like, there was this one time a dude got chased and completely MAULED by a bull. Apparently, despite him being almost dead the incharge of the ward still got him admitted. That night the dude had some sort of seizure at 3am and died while struggling quite a lot. The next morning the staff didn't find him intact. Apparently, his insides and blood were sprayed out in the entire room and blood was everywhere.
My mum still says that the scene gives her nightmares even after so long.
This guy is exactly what I would expect a mortician to be like. Calm, professional, dark sense of humor.
and a cool name
And kinda creepy
True 😭
He have the looks and even the name of a mortician.
I went to my grandma's funeral when I was 10 and got so freaked out because she looked like she was sleeping. I thought that at any moment she would open her eyes and sit up in the casket. Now I know she was pumped with red embalming fluid and I honestly feel better for knowing this. The mortician did such a great job with her body! Much respect!
I was a wreck when my grandma died. I needed help going to the coffin. And seeing her like that was too much and I left the room.

I can't tell if the "pumped with red embalming fluid made me feel better" part is a sarcastic comment or genuine... i mean i'd be way more comfortable knowing someone wasn't full of blood after death but
I felt this way too as a younger kid without experience. It's something you have to grow out of and get used to.
Omg same. I was too scared to come near the casket thinking she would sit up at any moment
I’d love to see this guy play The Mortuary Assistant.
I feel like he's seen stuff but.. by his attitude&energy I feel like he would say something on the lines of - just another day at the office when something scary comes out lol
Pls!!!
YES SOMEONE MAKE THIS HAPPEN
YEEEEEEEES!
YESSS
I think morticians are thought of as cold, uncaring unethical monsters, but they're actually humane people who help get through hard times and grief for the family they're working for.
Its a grim job someones got to do it
This guy absolutely loves his job and helping people. Thanks for such an educational q&a
“I’ve put more bras on than taken off” 😂
Ayo
@demograph88
Literally?
💀💀
he seems like the type of guy to tell the dead body he is working on a joke and then after a couple seconds he says "wow tough crowd"
“I tried it on the last guy, it killed”
The type i'd want to dissect me tbh
Omfg I'm dying 🤣
@Zoetje Hahahahahaha 😂
They are, though. You need quite a few hallucinogens combined with a lot of luck to make the dead laugh, especially if they’re German.
Thank you for humanizing this process. Death is something that many fear talking about, but knowing what to expect and not fearing it can make the process even a small degree more approachable during a time of stress and grief.
I kept reading through the comments hoping to come across a Sweeney Todd reference
I really like morticians. I’m an omnist and I believe that death is not a thing to fear at all and morticians are just like some of the only people I’ve talked to who agree with me about death. A dead body is not a scary thing, it’s just a body that’s no longer a person, nothing changed about the body itself just cause they died other than rotting after a while
@Lisa Zoe hahahahahaha 😂
Its just that decaying isn't nice
Death hurts to the alive love ones rather than the dead person itself
@kim jong unnie The "uncanny valley" describes things that creep us out because they look _almost_ human but clearly aren't. A corpse is at the deep end of the "uncanny valley" - as close as you can get to a human being without being one. Unless you count walking corpses, I guess...
I think people get scared over dead bodies knowing the fact that there's a possibility they were killed by a living one
when he said to help a mother see his son one more time hit me because i lost my uncle and seeing my grandma absolutely hurt me since this is her second child she’s lost the other one being my other uncle. props to these people for real !
@Hiryu Imajin it really is, i’m sorry :( i’d like to think my uncles and grandpa are all peacefully waiting for my grandma..
The most painful experience in one's lifetime is to give birth and bury your children. 😭 lost both my aunts and my gran outlived them after the 2nd daughter she lost, she followed and went to heaven and after that an uncle of mine passed. 😭
I couldn't imagine losing 2 children, I'm so sorry
If there's ever a show/movie about a mortician, this guy has to play the main character.
Sounds like a dark comedy sitcom I'd binge. What would be the title, though?
At a funeral one time as a child, I opened a door where someone was being embalmed and they were hooked up to all kinds of machines that were pumping and stuff. I thought they were still alive, essentially like on life support or something.. Freaked me out for a long time
My grandpa was a mortician. We legit came back to some being alive. My mom would bring her dates to his job and he would get the bodies to sit up and scare her dates away. Loved my grandpa.
The spiky eyelid contact horrified me, and for personal reasons, I simply won't be dying.
Another solution could be cremation. You still follow the laws of nature without having the spiky contact
Well they do that because A your eyeballs start drying out fairly soon after death so they look sunken. And B to keep your eyes closed during the service
You’ll be fine! Just don’t get embalmed!
Agreed
Loved this guy, loved his sense of humor while keeping it professional. Very good call picking him to answer these questions.
Honestly, his personality and the way he talks about his job makes me wanna try out being a mortician
A mortician with the last name Sweeney that also sometimes gives haircuts...
What could possibly go wrong??
you can't kill your clients if they're already dead!
pie
Probably your hair would *die*
Wait....
Hmmm....
Suspicious.
My aunt is a mortician and she loves her job. The reason for her career choice was that she always wanted to be a doctor but hate giving injecting needles for taking blood or injecting a vaccine etc into kids and other people and seeing them cry. She rather put needles in dead people instead. She says it's a relaxing job in a sense and its an honouring and fulfilling to have to give the family a good last look on their loved one who looks peaceful and dressed nicely in the coffin.

She felt odd doing someone's hair and makeup without them responding, so she used her own discretion by still asking and seeing what suited her face and hair to make her look most like mum again.
I’m sorry but this person looks like movie character: he has THE look, THE name, THE charisma and THE professionalism. Wow!
Why does he sound like Jerry Seinfeld without the jokes? (I know nothing about American accents) This mortician is pretty cool though
reminds me of those “meeting with characters in costumes” in themeparks that doing very well at “acting” . lolll i know this guy is real but somehow i got that impression
Totally, right? 😆
I think that every time I watch one of his episodes.
Ok
thirsty women in these comments, girls must just love a dude who handles bodies
I would love to see a part three with him. He made things so relatable and easy to understand. Plus, he is just so down to earth! Bring him back!
So I knew that my dad and my grandfather were funeral directors. But I didn't realize that they prepared bodies as well until my mom told me just a few months ago. She would even go sometimes to help him collect a body (being a nurse, she has a pretty strong stomach). Thank you for explaining more of what this job is, gives me a new perspective I never had of my closest relatives.
This guy is so likable. I feel compelled to book him for my funeral in advance.
Very informative! Thanks so much! Love your humor while dealing with such a sensitive topic! Cheers!
This guy was born to do this for a living. His name, his look, enthusiasm and smarts. He's fascinating
And loveable!
I was thinking the same thing. It’s kind of … hot?
@Werro Loco maybe that's why they're stereotypes in the first place lol
Actually, morticians are just like proctologists: they only begin to look like their profession right after getting their license.
Okay I officially love this guy and need more of his content asap. 👌
They must have forgotten that cream on my sister. She looked bad. I had thought about that, because her earrings she always wore had gotten lost at the hospital. We got the closest replacements we could find and I volunteered to put them in. So, I also brought a brush, a beauty blender and some lip gloss. Her hair was okay, just very stiff, so I smoothed it out. The foundation and blush was sort of cakey, smoothed that out. But her lips! Totally cracked and dry. A touch of gloss, much better.
It helped my nephew, he said she looked like his mom and not a mannequin.
I love this guy. He’s far more entertaining than most people would expect a mortician to be.
if you havent already can you talk about what kind of classes you had to take in order to become a mortician and possibly go into a little detail on what they are about ?
He is right about the help his profession gives to the family. My Mum and Dad have both passed away and I was responsible for their being collected , and the calm, professional, respectful manner of the mortician was a very great benefit.
This man deserves something for making this whole thing interesting and not remotely creepy.
@Vladimir Aceebre why are you telling ME about it
@Johnny P "I've put on more bras then I removed." Hit me with an odd feeling coupled with his smile being genuinely innocent.
@James H he doesn’t get excited about dead bodies
Its still kinda creepy
I appreciate his insight. He looks trustworthy.
Watching this, I can’t believe everything the horror game The Mortuary Assistant got right about the embalming process. That game had to have been really well-researched.
This guy does a necessary job that most people wouldn't so you have to respect him
"I've probably put on more bras than I've taken off in my life" oh no victor don't give us that sad laugh
I was laughing when he gave that pause after he said that. Oh, well, at least he's taken some off in his life! Ha! Ha!
This guy is the absolute stereotype of the job, and its the absolute best!
All the love to this guy
This was one of the most interesting videos I’ve watched in a long time. I never knew so much went into preparing someone who’s passed for their funeral.
Dark sense of humour, calm and collected, neatly dressed, and well spoken. *Yeah he's definately a mortician.*
He's so cute and I love his dark humor.
Plus his name's Victor
he's also called sweeney, as in sweeney todd (demon barber of fleet street)
Hes cute
Patrick Bateman
This guy is cool because he’s in a hard field , I even see he’s aware that ppl are often creeped out by this topic so he handles it well, with kind of a “I know this grosses you out but just listen” vibe. Awesome.
He's great, could definitely watch him answering questions all day.
With Victor, dead bodies get better care than living bodies. He listens. He's empathetic and patient. Wish every doctor was like him.
Nossa, ele parece um personagem fictício querido pela maioria das pessoas. Ao mesmo tempo é bem lógico. Que pessoa interessante
What an interesting man, also seems to have a good sense of humour about his profession. Nice job!
He is a real life book character. Everything about him seems so unreal. I'm glad people like him exist in real life.
He is what inspires those characters
He’s a Harry Potter character
he’s like a tim burton character who’s been plopped into everyday american life.
for real ! I'm just disappointed he doesn't like cats. They would go so well with his whole vibe.
Tim Burton gives this man a movie quick ! :D
Wow, amazing to see others who trade with Mrs Anna I am currently on my 5th trade with her and my portfolio has increased tremendously
I like this guy. His quirkiness and morbid humor is great and his demeanor is comforting.
Victor has a great personality. Well done.
What a wonderful service morticians provide. Allowing a final goodbye and taking care of so much during such a difficult time for the departed's family. These people and hospice workers are some of the best we have.
Such a charismatic fellow too.
I must say I wouldn't mind someone like that taking care of me after I die, rather, I feel like I would be able to be at rest.
These are really great questions. Thank you for answering thoroughly. 😊
This dude needs to be a public speaker on TED or something. He is so professional and entertaining to watch. I can listen to him all day.
Hes cute
Oh hi John Doe!!!
I could look at him all day too. So handsome.
He is like John Cena
He looks like a very polite villan but also i really like how he answers all the questions and giving us new informations,while showing us his weapons hahahaha
future corps, arent we all?!
I love this dude. Polite, intelligent, precise. Bravo
OMFG!!!! When you think you've got to the end of the internet and you stumble on to this guy. Thumbs up man, now I know how you do it, always asked my self dough on these things.
With certainty, you, proctologists, gynecologists and those in legal medicine have by far the best sense of humor.
We should let this man play the mortuary assistant asap. It’s gonna be wild and educational at the same time
I have so much respect for this guy.
imagine him being dead, his funeral is getting prepared and he suddenly wakes up and says *no no no you're doing it wrong*
@chees soon
😭😭😭
LOL
@Khazana Aziz hù
LMAOOO
he’s got so much character he’s just what i thought a mortician would be like
When my grandma passed away they asked my dad what music they wanted to play and he was completely unsure. The mortician asked about my grandma and found out she was a huge fan of Bonanza. Next thing we knew the theme song of Bonanza began playing at the wake. It actually really broke a lot of the tension of the whole situation.
Almost right at the end when he mentioned that exhumed bodies usually look almost the same even 50 years later, gave me SO much peace. My grandad was embalmed after he passed in 2019 and I hated and still did until then, the idea that my grandad was rotting away and probably just bones, kind of nice knowing he's still in there

A lot of families go for the cremation because it costs so much less at this point.
Very compassionate human being.
I love how he’s referring to dead people like they’re his customers.
@𝚛𝚎𝚢 oh hi customer!!!
It's true
We're all gonna be his customers, Cause death is a part of our faith as a living beings. lol
@veronica sencion Oh God this is so dark omg I cant lmao
Like hu tao
I really hoped for this question to get asked but, how do you, yourself/your profession, handle children who have passed? Does it impact you more?
This guy is the most morticiany mortician to ever exist.
I’ve rewatched this guy’s videos SOOO many times because I am just IN LOVE with this man.
With regards to the second to last question, I've seen pictures of decades-old embalmed bodies, some did in fact look more or less intact save for the odd mold patch, or drying skin retracting over the mouth and eyeballs... It's quite bizarre to be sure, kind of like seeing ghosts.
Can’t believed I watched 14 minutes learning about how to bury bodies.
It's called charisma haha
I would've watched for longer lol.
this guy is so charismatic and professional, that if he ever becomes a serial killer, no one would ever find out because he has the perfect cover.
there’s a criminal minds episode about this exact thing. the unsub WAS a mortician 😭
Michael C. Hall (Dexter) actually played a Mortician in Six Feet Under... Maybe the best show he was in
@Joshua Gonzalez it's great, it's a dramedy with a whole lot of dark humor and also kinda deep. Watched it all the way through about a year ago, might rewatch it soon with my BF when we finish our current "projects", we've already watched Dexter together.
@DasObscure.
Time to watch that!!!!!!.
@Joshua Gonzalez and Michal C. Hall played a mortician in Six Feet Under before becoming Dexter.
6:14 I love that he made it sound like those are the only two options, like other funeral directors won't handle organ donations. He is the only one.
He is exactly what I expected a Mortician to be
I love this guy. Let's have some more videos with him
Thank you for your time. I found these videos very informative. A few questions I have wondered about a couple of these .
I love how cool yet professional this guy is
This man is so passionate about his job it’s both inspiring and disturbing at the same time.
@Alex Medvec you're thinking of Sweeney Todd
"I am Both impressed and disturbed" sheen stevez
But hey, someone has to do it right? 😂
Frr😂
After watching the game Mortuary Assistant and coming across this video is really cool. The game is pretty realistic for what you have to do in it. Like the tool to close people's mouths. That was cool to see :)
Victor is an awesome guy, went to school with him. He's great at explaining things
@Victor M. Sweeney Haha VIctor, love all of these videos makes for a fun learn
Yo! Polar Bear!!!
I have a question for him. Did you ever experience that somebody was alive when you were working on them?
This guy should do stand up comedy. What a bright soul.
This guy's career options were:
1. Mortician
2. Butler in haunted mansion
There’s also trusty secretary, trusty treasurer, and ofc, professor of dark magic such as necromancy
Or a vampire
🤣
3.actor
Tax preparer
Oh my goodness. This man is amazing and he has got to be related to my favorite dentist. 😂
I love this man more than life itself.💗💗💗💗💗
I keep thinking “geez this looks & sounds so painful.” Followed by, “oooh, right. He’s basically the opposite of a doctor.”
Also, this dude has amazing style

If I remember correctly, they bury people vertically in D.C., due to lack of room.
I remember I had a teacher who was talking about how her parent were planning to be buried there. She was joking about how when her mother dies, one of the things on her funeral checklist would be "Make sure Mom's tied up.", so she wouldn't end up becoming a pile in the bottom of the casket...
This guy is amazing! Best Q & A I've ever seen
His name is Victor M. Sweeney. This is exactly the name I would give a funeral director if I was writing a novel. He was destined for this job.
Plot twist: It’s an assumed name, like a stage name. His real name is, like, Jim Duncan or something basic and he’s like “Nah, I’m gonna be Victor M. Sweeney.”
Positively Dickensonian!
hahaha so accurate
Jebediah Morningside.
Victor M. Sweeney.
Abraham Necramopolos.
He even looks how I imagine a funeral director would look! He truly was destined
Great video; this guy’s a great orator 😊
I never thought I'd watch something like this n not be creeped out,yet here I am not creeped out.this guy is amazing w how he breaks things down in a way I'm following easily.i like this guy
Watching this after my grandpa’s funeral is surprisingly comforting
This was a strangely informative video. I love how he explains everything! And this guy is a cutie 👀
you do an amazing job for their families 🥰
Can we acknowledge that Victor M Sweeney is the perfect name for a friendly yet creepy mortician
💯
😂😂
He's probably got a big metal M on his house
am i missing something, how is he creepy?
All l can think of now is Sweeney Todd..Google if you don’t get the reference.😳😷🇨🇦
something i would be interested to know is if morticians (as this one does) more commonly refer to the corpse as though it's the person or if they refer to it as 'the corpse' or another term that unfamiliarizes the remains.
In the place I interned at sometimes when someone was getting prepped they’d say the name of the person just to know who it was so I didn’t hear many calling them corpses bc we need to use the names to know who they are
honestly i really wanna be a mortician/embalmer death is so interesting and another thing that draws me to it is just the type of people who do this job, it really takes a certain type of person so it'd be so cool to find others like me with a similar personality and a fascination about death
This guy is the best. He deserves a show. I will watch. I. WILL. WATCH.
This guy is funny and very fun to watch.
