They may not be alive but their outfits are to die for.
A British hospital worker is speaking about how he prepares dead people for their graves, saying he dresses the deceased in their finest fashions for the final farewells.
Daimon Winters, 49, was recently named the mortuary guardian at New Cross Hospital in Wolverton, England, meaning he spends his entire workday dealing with dead people.
Despite his eerie occupation, the grandfather says he finds his work incredibly fulfilling.
“I see myself as the liaison between porters and the mortuary and it means there is a more orderly process for the safe transfer of the deceased,” Winters told the Birmingham Mail in a recent interview.
“It feels very respectful to think you’ve done a good job for the people’s families who are grieving and I’ve had a lot of positive feedback,” he enthusiastically added.
“The mortuary guardian is an essential position to provide families with the peace of mind that their loved ones are being safely and respectfully transferred from the ward to the hospital mortuary,” a New Cross Hospital spokesperson further told the publication.
Winters revealed that a crucial part of his role is dealing with devastated family members while having to ask them what they want their loved one to be wearing in their coffin.
The mortuary guardian said clear communication was key to making sure the deceased was dressed in their best and that their relatives were satisfied with the service.
Winters isn’t the first to speak out about his career dealing with the dead.
Last year, mortician Melissa Jo became a sensation on TikTok, posting about everything from how long it takes for maggots to infest the body to why funeral homes use red lights.
The blond, who goes by @FuneralBabe on the social media site, has clocked up a staggering 775,000 followers.
Meanwhile, a mortuary science student named Mimi also went viral on TikTok by speaking out about her spooky profession.
“If you’re seeing this right now, I’d like to formally introduce you to DeathTok,” the content creator, who posts under the handle @mimithemortician, declared. “I’m here to normalize death care, as I’m a normal 20-year-old girl who is currently about to graduate from mortuary school.”
