Bab 38: Chapter 38: I Don't Get to Storm the Castle

A mortician is someone who is in the business of dead bodies. Tasks can include embalming, burial, cremation, or even planning the whole elaborate funereal send-off when someone kicks the bucket. A mortician may be called upon to dress a corpse in proper attire, give the inert body a cosmetic make-over so folks don’t freak out when they peer into Grandma’s casket, or actually place the thing in the casket, which has got to be pretty danged creepy. In the U.S.A., morticians have to be licensed by the state. Getting the official OK to play with dead bodies requires a college degree, passing a National Board Examination, a state board examination, and working for a couple of years as some other mortician’s Igor.

All this I know from a quick search on Wikipedia (I changed some of the words so I don’t plagiarize anybody), and all of this has absolutely nothing to do with what Xander meant.
