What are some mortician horror stories?

One scary mortician story is about a mortician who heard strange noises coming from the morgue at night. When he went to check, he saw a body that was supposed to be dead sitting up. It really freaked him out. He thought it was a hallucination at first, but the body moved again. He ran out of the morgue and didn't go back until the next day with other people.

In a small town, a mortician had an experience with a ghostly apparition. He was working late one evening when he smelled a strange, old - fashioned perfume. Then, he saw a lady in a white dress walking through the morgue. She seemed to be looking for something or someone. He later found out from the town's history that a woman matching that description had died in a tragic accident many years ago and was brought to the same morgue.

There was a mortician who worked in a small town. Once, a family brought in their young daughter who had passed away suddenly. The mortician was deeply touched and spent extra time making sure she looked peaceful and beautiful for the viewing. He used his skills to cover up some of the signs of the illness that had taken her life. This story shows the compassion morticians can have.

There was a mortician who worked in an old funeral home. One day, he received a body of a person who had died under mysterious circumstances. As he was preparing the body, he noticed strange markings on the skin that he couldn't explain. That night, he had a nightmare about the person coming back to life and accusing him of something. Since then, every time he passed by the room where the body was stored, he felt an eerie presence.

One mortician told me about a time when they had to dress a very large man for his funeral. They couldn't find a suit in the right size in time, so they had to improvise with a bedsheet. They made it look like a toga. When the family saw it, they thought it was a creative and humorous way to send off their loved one.

Strange markings or signs on the bodies that can't be explained. Like in the story where the mortician saw strange markings on the skin of a body that had died mysteriously. It makes you wonder what could have caused those and if there's something more sinister going on.

Once, a mortician had a client who was a magician in life. When preparing the body for the viewing, they found a hidden compartment in his casket that he had secretly rigged before his death. It was filled with little magic tricks. The mortician decided to leave it as it was and it became a talking point at the viewing.

Most mortician ghost stories are likely just superstition. The morgue is a spooky place by nature, with dead bodies and a cold atmosphere. People's minds can play tricks on them in such settings. Morticians might be under a lot of stress, and this could lead to them imagining things that seem like ghosts.

Sure. There was a mortician who worked in an old morgue. One night, while working alone, the power went out. As he was fumbling in the dark to find a flashlight, he heard what sounded like footsteps approaching. He froze in fear. When he finally got the flashlight on, he saw a body that was supposed to be in a drawer, now lying in the middle of the floor. He quickly left the morgue and never went back alone at night again.

Sure. There was a mortician who received a body that was supposed to be for a routine burial. But when they started preparing the body, they found a hidden tattoo that was very elaborate and completely unexpected. It was a symbol that no one in the family knew about, and it led to some interesting conversations among the family members.
