I’m not sure what my official title was but I worked at a funeral home during college. My main task was “house calls” where I’d get called at all hours of the night to pick up a dead person from wherever they dropped at and bring them to the funeral home. It was primarily elderly people or those on hospice care, pretty much anything the first responders didn’t think warranted further investigation. It paid $90 a call for an hour or two of easy work so it was a pretty decent alternative to flipping burgers or retail. I also got paid $14 or so an hour to assist with funerals or picking people up from hospitals, didn’t care for that part as much. This was a very small town almost 10 years ago so the pay was quite good by my standards at least, I think minimum wage was $7.50 at the time.

Pretty decent gig overall, I’d honestly recommend it over everything else I did before graduating. I didn’t mind the dead people at all, it was dealing with the living I struggled with
