  1. That Six Feet Under scene reminds me that whenever my grandpa passed my uncle, which is my grandpa son said to the people who were taking him away “ he was dying to see you”😂

  2. Ill probably look better after the mortician.
    I really dont want my death recorded by man.
    The universe will record it.

  3. I dont wanna ve burried cause im clusterphobic and afraid of the dark, but if i was id want my headstone to stay “let me out of here its dark.” Lol.

  4. One movie that I think really displays a person dying is when Rocky’s trainer Micky dies in Rocky III.
    It’s so realistic it gave me goosebumps!

  5. Please talk about the horror movie Phantasm, which is centered around mortuaries, cemeteries, and masoleums.
