Hello everyone!
I am not exactly back but I have been playing about with the old laptop and managed to get some stuff done! Gosh it is hard being an adult, working full time and trying to do some simming on the side. Really have missed it!
I have been working on this career for a while now via virtual pen & paper and since the past year I have had a tiny insight into through talking to various interesting clients. I tried my best to stay away from too much dark humour (it needs a little because we are using it in the Sims) but voila.
What is a Mortician?
A mortician is also known as a funeral director or undertaker and their job ranges from transporting, embalming, planning funerals and performing rites for the deceased.
This career has titles which shows also how many different job roles there can be in that industry.
Big thank you again to Gabe O�Mackey from Riverblossom Hills!
