Zombies. No - just kidding. Surprisingly, however, if you are not careful and don’t take your time, you could, through fault of your own, end up with a chemical burn because you forgot to put the cap back on the bottle of embalming fluid. You could end up fat, depressed, and addicted to booze if you didn’t learn to manage your stress properly. Or you could receive a broken rib from all the hugs families are going to want to give you. Truth be told, you and your co-workers will hopefully become people you can call friends. After all, a friend helps you move, a real friend helps you move dead bodies.
