Coal miner and taxidermist here.

Yeah, I could just say "Software Engineer" but I have been doing this long enough, that's not what we were called when I started.

I had to look it up - HEMA = historical European martial arts - so this is mostly medieval combat, isn't it?0 -

I guess it has potential - with rapidly rising population the number of deaths will as well rise - eventually a boom industry, especially given that in the western world the peak for older citizen will be around 2030 with a lot of them dying thereafter.0 -

Pretty much. Right now currently it's around a fifteen BILLION dollar industry. But it has some things on it's bad side, so I want to actually get a mortuary license where I can stand up and talk about those things since there's politics involved. But that's not the only reason! I just find death to be the most interesting aspect of life, especially the history of it. Like the Middle Ages! Though I tend to love the Victorian Era's mourning jewelry. Why we stopped doing that in the mainstream is beyond me.Edited by FleetwoodSmack on March 12, 2016 11:17PMTell me lies, tell me sweet little lies!1 -

Even it has some similarities with kendo, I think that bokken are handled in a much different way than I see in this video with long swords - did you ever consider kendo as a sport for you or are you just interested in european sword fighting techniques?0 -

Well, just as well as we stopped to implement bells on graves - in the victorian age those were quite common, people were afraid to be buried alive and the bell would have given them the opportunity to ring it, in the case they'd wake up buried alive.0 -

Yep! Though nowdays (though on very very rare occasion it does happen where people wake up in the morgue) we have technology to see if they're deceased or not. There's just a lot of old practices in terms of mementos that are also rarely practiced. Things like mourning jewelry and even post-mortem photography (though I can see that being taboo today). I think since I started there I had maybe two or three requests for locks of hair from their loved ones. Which personally I think it's such an awesome idea in that sense. Though nowdays we also have things like turning cremated remains into diamonds (though that can get pretty pricey) to even glassware statuary. So I suppose it's also evolved in that sense as well!Edited by FleetwoodSmack on March 12, 2016 11:43PMTell me lies, tell me sweet little lies!0 -
