Jacob Walsh, a UK funeral director, has opened up about his experiences working with the deceased through social media. In his TikTok videos, he shares eerie encounters, such as feeling ghosts and having one-sided conversations with the deceased. He explains how he talks to them during his daily routines, emphasizing his empathetic approach. Walsh also educates viewers on what happens to the body after death, normalizing bodily functions as part of the mortuary process, reassuring families that their loved ones are treated with care and dignity.
Ghosts - have I seen them? Have I experienced them? I've felt a presence - usually in the mortuary, which is completely understandable as it's where people in my care are resting.
If they're tapping me on the shoulder, that just reassures me that I must be doing right by them.
If I'm shaving gentlemen, I'll just say 'I'm just going to get you underneath the chin or I'm going to trim your eyebrows a bit.'
When we take you back into our care, before we dress and prepare you, we wash and showe.
