The story of a strange profession to decorate the body!

The Dhaka Times Desk Be it a 'facial' to tidy up the body or a 'klop' in the hair, they do a strange work of make-up with skilled hands!

It is natural to be surprised to hear such words. But the fact is, London resident Michelle Slin and her daughter Jodi are 'funeral directors' by profession. Both of them not only the last journey, but also arrange the dead person!

Recently, mother and daughter completed a decade of this profession. 56-year-old Michelle has been associated with funeral arrangements for a long time. However, daughter Jodi never thought of entering this profession in the beginning. But after his father Leonard died, he decided to join his mother's profession.

Jodi said that she has been to many funerals before. But this is the first death of a person so close to him. He did not like the work of those who were handling his father's dead body that day. On the last journey, he saw his father in disarray and broke down. After that, he decided to work with his mother. Then in 2012 he chose the same profession.

Michelle and Jody feel that no one can tell when life will end. So nobody deserves to be careless in the final journey. Many times the people of the family wish that the face of the loved one should not be disfigured even after death. So they also arrange face and hair.

Mother and daughter said after a decade of reminiscence, they once went to the funeral of a young woman. Once again went to the funeral of two twins. In both cases, the relatives of the deceased were so angry that they did not know what to do. In the end, mother and daughter arranged the dead bodies for the last time. In response to a question about whether they get bored while working on death, the mother and daughter said that it is not boredom but this work that constantly reminds them of the meaning of every human life.
