Victor M. Sweeney is the most mortician name to ever exist. It’s like Tim Burton himself wrote it.

Their appearances: 🔪🖤💀🌹🕸 Their personalities: 💖✨ 🌼🤗🌈

I can’t get over how much Victor Looks like a mortician… from like the 50s. Can someone look like a mortician? Well, Victor does. It’s a vibe and I’m here for it.

Breyonce is not someone you would ever take for being a mortician but once she starts speaking of it she sounds like the most gentle mortician honestly.

My brother passed away by a car accident earlier this year. The mortician tried their best to make him presentable so we could see him, but they ultimately recommended we not see him. It was heartbreaking, but the mortician was so kind and compassionate.

I love how Victor was in so many interviews he's actually beloved

I teared up when Breyonce said that she referred to her people as though they were still alive. Something about the idea of, despite death, we still carry the things that make us who we are, is so touching and comforting to me. I lost a very close relative to a long disease not too long ago, and this set something in me at ease. Thank you.

The way Victor said “Give me the rest of the day, how did it go?” and leaned forward he is so compassionate and such a great listener! Beyonce is a queen she is so gentle.

If Victor isn't my mortician I'm not dying. I really like what he said about emotional attachment. "The ones who are detached from the emotional side of it are not good at their job. You have to be connected to humanity to serve humanity." it reminds me of a quote from Law and Order Special Victims Unit "don't worry when you feel something...worry when you stop." Emotions sucks, but they're part of humanity. If you lack that part....it's time to be concerned. And when it comes to fear of death, for me personally, I'm not afraid of dying. I'm afraid of what's after. Like the fear of the unknown. Dying is easy. No need to be scared of that. But what comes next? Hmm.

I saw Victor's Wired interviews, Mortician Support. He's got quite the sense of humor and humble attitude. He explained his job in a way that is not morbid like you would think.

I love how the two people Anthony got for the interview are someone who is basically a stereotype of a mortician from a movie (god that jawline and style!) and then someone who I would never expect to be one on the first glance. Really shows the range of people working in this curious profession!

When my boyfriend shot himself and died, I was amazed at how well they put his face back together. Thank you for the work you do, you made the last image I had of him not the fragments of his skull and teeth but his original vessel. His soul was gone, but at least I could say good bye to him without being traumatized.

It's fascinating to see their approaches to death and life, from Victor's deep respect for the dead to Breyonce's energy to live every moment.

Breyonce deserves more love in the comments! She seems like such a genuine, kind and caring person.

the way breyonce highlights still referring to deceased people as ‘miss’ and ‘mister’ made me feel so warm. my grandma just recently passed and i love to imagine the morticians that worked with her still giving her that humility 💖

I absolutely loved the guests. Breyonce is awesome, she has such a gentle soul and it shows she cares for her job. Victor is so calming and makes death so natural and not scary. They both make it so vulnerable and humanizing and it's beautiful

My grandma had dementia. In her last few years, I couldn't even stand to look at pictures of her. She wasn't her anymore, didn't know who I was, and her whole FACE was different. When I got to see her at the viewing, I was so thankful and overwhelmed, she looked like her again. I got to say my thank yous and goodbyes, knowing she could hear me for the first time in years. So much respect for morticians.

Breyonce deserves more love in the comments. Her compassion and gentleness when she speaks about the dead is so appreciated and inspiring!

I fuckin love these people’s’ personalities. When he said “really? Give me the rest of the day, how did it go” you could tell hes engaged and thinking. Awesome people
