Mortician Breaks Down Dead Body Scenes From Movies & TV | WIRED

"For a corpse, he looks great. For a live person, not so much" Story of my life

I love how he's more offended by cocky morticians with a knight's complex than people stealing corpses

19:18 I can't get over the fact how Mr. Sweeny is all smiles and likeable while he continues for half a minute to give us tips on how to steal our dead grandpa through a hospital window. I'm crying laughing.

I would trust this guy 100% with mine and my families remains, he seems like he genuinely respects his job

His name couldn’t have literally been a better fit for his job. Victor Sweeney just seems too perfect

I've said this once and I'll say it again: if this man isn't my mortician, I'm not dying.

During a walk through a graveyard I once read an epitaph that has stuck with me for over 45 years. " Behold my friends as you walk by, as you are now, so once was I. As i am now, you must be, prepare for death and follow me". Freaked me out so much, I still remember it.

I love that his commentary on Norman Bates having his mom's corpse in the basement is "This would be incredibly illegal" I think the bigger concern is probably the murder.

Being a mortician seems like a composite of several jobs : a beautician, carpenter, scientist, doctor, therapists, stylist.

I like how he talks about how you can’t just steal your grandpa’s body, but then also gives tips on how to get a body out the window a bit easier.

Somebody on his other video said: "Imagine Victor M. Sweeney at his own funeral. He sees how the funeral director is preparing his body, wakes up and says, "No no no, you're doing it wrong!"

When my partner died - he was very knowledgable about Egyptology. So I worked with the mortician to wrap him in a shroud, and tied gold ribbons around like a mummy binding. Plus anointing with Myrth and Frankensence. Everybody who knew him said he looked wondrrful in his finery. It was the last and best gift I could give him.

Morticians in movies: dark, evil, somewhat twisted Him: 😃

This dude totally needs his own channel. He’s just super oddly entertaining and likable.

Last November my grandpa passed away and Victor was the mortician who worked on his body for the funeral. He was very nice and provided an amazing goodbye to my grandpa. He is actually this nice and understanding in real life. Thank you Victor!

When my mom passed, I got to learn first hand just how kind some morticians/funeral directors are. I told them bluntly that I had no money and we have yet to find her insurance and they did everything in their power to find me the cheapest, happiest solution possible. My mom currently sits in my living room in a plastic box (the same one he showed) happily awaiting the scattering of her ashes because of good people like Mr. Sweeney <3

I just can't get enough of this guy. Nobody can. Hot mortician Victor Sweeney. Internet idol.

Dude came with a bow tie this time. He’s definitely playing to the crowd at this point.

I've had two funerals this year. The first was my boyfriend, his eyes weren't completely closed and you could see some sort of glue on his mouth, he looked pale and yellowish like when he passed away (I saw him pass away) and I think that even if he looked like he was just asleep, nothing would have taken my pain away (Nothing can), but I wonder how it would have been had he had more preparation. The second was my Grandmother, very recent, actually. When I looked at her, all I felt was some sort of peace. She looked like she was sleeping and looked as huggable as always. They were very different funerals, with very different preparation if I may say, yet... I can only say thanks to be able to see them. You're very cool Victor, and all morticians, your job is important for all and I value it so much.

Victor Sweeney is the most mortician name I've ever heard.
