I have a huge appreciation for morticians because I lost my mother recently. The mortician that took care of her was above and beyond anything I’d ever imagine. He really cared and made sure everything was exactly as I asked for. I did request him to allow me to do my mother’s makeup and he let me go into the mortuary and do it. It was heavy. It’s something that I will carry with me forever.
what i love most about how he answers questions is he actually answers them. no going around the question or anything, just direct answers and explanations. hes so insightful its wonderful
@@leftblank131 bruh, beating zombies is really the easiest task for humanity, think about it, they are basically dead meat, they would freeze in cold environments and explode in hot environments, they don't have a brain, they don't feel pain nor fear and they cannot cure damaged body parts. Don't forget their only way to reproduce is by facing their biggest enemy. And dude, humanity is specialized in killing things, we brought species to extinction without effort. If a zombie apocalypse hits the world, go to your favourite videogame store, buy a couple of games and just enjoy the free vacation.
Aw. This guy is so sincere. His response to the question saying how he feels just as sad now as when his grandpa passed a few months ago had me sending virtual hugs.
I've met actually a few morticians in my life. One thing they all had in common was that they all had a good sense of humor. I guess you need that for this job, otherwise you would go insane.
the thing about working with dead bodies is you are always reminded of deaths and the end of life. And this kind of thoughts can seriously change someone....
Did you not look at him? I get that it’s a profession like any other, but I’m not sure I want to have a beer with anyone who gets excited about dead bodies.
The suit, the glasses, the gelled hair, the way he speaks, his face, his name… he belongs in a Tim burton movie, Immediately. There is no reason he should be *this* fit for his job💀
When the mortician said "ah, I love this username... 'future corpse'" and then looked directly at the camera and said "aren't we all" i felt an emotion that doesn't exist.
@@kimberlyjennings618 Why do you people to this? Christians just can't stop pushing their beliefs on others. It's such disgusting behavior, especially in the context or mourning and grief.
Right?? I'm not sure what different qualifications you'd need to teach this stuff, but if he ever wants to switch it up a bit, he could be an amazing teacher of this exact thing, I can't imagine there's too many mortician's that also double as a teacher quite as well as he does
@@rhyscybulskiepost4500 or a professor in college, god knows most professors don’t know what they teach and he’d really motivate me if I ever take a class with a teacher like him
Chances are he is, in a small way. It's very common that nurses and other health care personal gets to meet a mortician during their education in order to get a better glimpse of how the process of death looks like
Being a funeral director and the staff, is one of those jobs that you must have extreme compassion. You're working with people during their lowest, saddest, vulnerablest time. Most people like me had no idea but I was fortunate to have a great director and his staff to support, help and guide me during my father's funeral. They show so much compassion and empathy. Its not an easy job or not a job a lot of people go for so thank you to all funeral directors.
I mean he's 100% a mortician. His looks, how he talks and everything. He was born to do this and he enjoys doing his job. This was oddly one of the best wired support episodes I've seen so far.
I wonder why a lot of morticians dress vintage like that, there was a mini docu series on this one female mortician that was literally the female version of this guy humor and all lol
"I've probably put on more bras than I've taken off" The fact that this can make you laugh when talking about dead bodies is impressive. He has a great sense of humor.

My grandfather died recently and the funeral director, family friend, made him look like he did five years ago. It helped my grandmother feel better seeing him looking healthy one last time. I have a lot of respect for her skills because that couldn't have been easy.
That was the exact same it’s my grandpa. He passed away just hours before Easter this year. I was scared to see him but he looked like he wasn’t even sick. They do have some skills some big impressive skills or make a dead person look alive.
@Peanut Boy look like he did five years ago, not like he died five years ago. kind of an unnecessary pedantic and insensitive comment besides just being plain wrong
@@anechkagee5372 You still need a mortician involved for both of those options too. You can't just have your corpse magically levitate into a flame with no human working on it.
@@newquinken i think they mean no embalming, it is possible to be buried or cremated without being embalmed so it's pretty much freezer to casket without a mortician poking around, only to move the body. i feel like there should also be an option where a person can be placed in a body bag after they die and remain in the bag even when being buried if they prefer not to have people, especially strangers, seeing their body
This guy is freaking hilarious. The sense of humor he has (though it looked like it cut a little close) is wonderful. And honestly thinking about it, I'm sure lots of people die without a bra (like heart attack in the shower or what not) so he's probably put on 100's if not more. So unless you're an alpha Chad (/s)... he's got us all beat
@@DirtyLillNeo I don't think it matters what you wore when you died... If you watched the whole thing, about all the fluids, cleaning etc, then surely they will put on clean clothes.
There's something weirdly "wholesome" about hearing him talk about death in the most uncomplicated and natural way. He could as well tell you how to make breakfast, it's so "normal" when he talks. I like it. And he has great humour.
@@Mishu777 lol. So what are you assuming my nationality is without knowing anything about me other than my avatar? Or are you just one of those people who don’t know what a weeaboo is and think it applies to anyone that watches anime?
I watched his episodes after my grandma passed away. I had so many questions about the embalming process and preparation for the funeral. These episodes were so helpful. ❤
@@jimcanterak7349 he probably wishes to help families see their loved ones off in a good way, by making them look better before being buried, or maybe he was just simply curious on bodies. It’s just like doctors. Doctors and surgeons like to cut people up and twist around their organs. You don’t think they’re sociopaths too, right?
If I had him as a science teacher, I probably would have paid attention in class. He just explains everything so clearly and enthusiastically, respectfully.
@@smallsignals I appreciate the effort of your reasonings. However., this particular You Tube subject isn't an in depth academic tutorial, but rather browsing for curiosity sake. Gen X'er are more chilled, anyway. no pun intend...
“I’ve probably put on more bras than I’ve taken off in my life.....does that answer your question?” This guy is honestly funnier than most people I know
I literally cant think of a better name for a mortician than Victor M. Sweeney. If I made him a book character everyone would call me too on-the-nose lol
@@Y00shi_ I don't think that's what they meant. I'd think they're saying that this video was pretty peaceful and didn't have any negative or creepy vibes considering the topic and that's what makes them uncomfortable
I used to be a Catholic liturgic musician as a side gig. We used to refer to Joncas’ On Eagle’s Wings as the Yoo Hoo song because of the first words sung. This was one of the most requested songs for a funeral…and one of the trickiest for a non-confident singer because the first sung word’s note is not part of the accompanying instruments’ chord. Victor’s Swedish Chef’s version solves this dilemma!
I came back to this video 3 years after to say thank you because it made me decide to pursuit this career: I´ve found my vocation, I couldn´t be happier about it and now I´m a well formed mortician who knows what their dream job is because they´re doing it. All because a man in a video had some cool things to say about what he does for a living (pun intended) and Wired posted this video. Thank you.
It’s weird. In my experience, morticians have the best sense of humor of anyone I’ve ever met. Something about working with death and the idea of mortality lets them deal with life a lot more candidly.
.... and then takes off his apron once the meal preparation is complete and it’s ready. He grabs his plate and gets his sparkling clean utensils ready, knives and forks. Says a quick prayer to Satan and proceeds to dig in by first cutting off a slice of thigh flesh; seasons it with the finest Moroccan spices and takes a huge bite with a big grin on his face 😈
I'm petitioning for WIRED to bring him back for a Part 2 to this video. By far the coolest and most likeable funeral director/mortician I've ever seen. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
He speaks of his morticianed people like clients, or patients. He just seems very respectful of the dead people he's prepared. What a rough job, amazing that he's so positive!
I think you just get hardened after a while. I know that after seeing my first corpse it just isn't that special anymore and that death is just the end of the cycle.

That was the exact same it’s my grandpa. He passed away just hours before Easter this year.
I was scared to see him but he looked like he wasn’t even sick. They do have some skills some big impressive skills or make a dead person look alive.
must watch: th-cam.com/video/lCRtOjbCw4Y/w-d-xo.html
@Peanut Boy look like he did five years ago, not like he died five years ago. kind of an unnecessary pedantic and insensitive comment besides just being plain wrong
I love how his first reaction to the drinking embalming fluid question was “you forgot the blue flavour”
I’m convinced this man has been alive for 100’s of years and his name just proves it.
mortician would be the best career for a vampire after all
sweeney
Completely agree 🤣
@a sweeney
@a victor
His enthusiasm is actually kind of comforting. I'd rather someone said "cool!" than "ew" if (when) my corpse does something weird.
Okay, but why even go through all this? I don't want anyone "working" on my corpse. Either burn me or put me in a mushroom suit. But better burn me.
@@anechkagee5372 You still need a mortician involved for both of those options too. You can't just have your corpse magically levitate into a flame with no human working on it.
@@newquinken actually I can. These "works" are optional.
@@newquinken i think they mean no embalming, it is possible to be buried or cremated without being embalmed so it's pretty much freezer to casket without a mortician poking around, only to move the body. i feel like there should also be an option where a person can be placed in a body bag after they die and remain in the bag even when being buried if they prefer not to have people, especially strangers, seeing their body
@@anechkagee5372 I'm the same as you, I would prefer to be left alone 😂
"I have probably put on more bra's, than I have taken off in my life"'
This is a man who will never lie, I trust him already.
Ikr
This guy is freaking hilarious. The sense of humor he has (though it looked like it cut a little close) is wonderful. And honestly thinking about it, I'm sure lots of people die without a bra (like heart attack in the shower or what not) so he's probably put on 100's if not more. So unless you're an alpha Chad (/s)... he's got us all beat
@@DirtyLillNeo I don't think it matters what you wore when you died... If you watched the whole thing, about all the fluids, cleaning etc, then surely they will put on clean clothes.

He was sad 😭 when he said that

Okay? He's used to this stuff, it's his job.
This guy was born to be a mortician.
My exact sentiments!! I love how passionate and well-versed he is about his practice. It was pretty cool learning about what he does.
"Sweeney" is exactly the name that a person toying with bodies would have
He is name fits
Why is he so wholesome tho
There's something weirdly "wholesome" about hearing him talk about death in the most uncomplicated and natural way. He could as well tell you how to make breakfast, it's so "normal" when he talks. I like it. And he has great humour.
That is so nice of you to say.

Considering the theme, it's a good question.
Thank you for a story Idea-
Time to make a webtoon-
I watched his episodes after my grandma passed away. I had so many questions about the embalming process and preparation for the funeral. These episodes were so helpful. ❤
He is so sympathetic. I like how respectful but light hearted he talks about preparing dead people

Well you must be a psychopath or a sociopath to seek such a job.

@@jimcanterak7349 he probably wishes to help families see their loved ones off in a good way, by making them look better before being buried, or maybe he was just simply curious on bodies. It’s just like doctors. Doctors and surgeons like to cut people up and twist around their organs. You don’t think they’re sociopaths too, right?
This guy is so friendly, chill and bright. He's not at all one of those movie morticians who might be the killer themselves.
That laugh at 9:43 though 😂
Now that you talk about it I’m forced to watch the rest of the video concentrating on how he does look like the killer
Or is he...
Ted Bundy was friendly, chill and bright too. You are easily fooled...
How do killers look like anyway? 🤔
My man must be so calm in his counsciousness to be a mortician like this. Like seriously.
There's something off-putting but also comforting seeing a guy who works with dead people all day have so much life in his eyes
Working with the dead might be exactly *why* he’s so full of life.
I saw that being pain in his eyes ngl
Things have got to balance out somehow, right?
He's absorbing what's left in them
@@twavla4972 he’s becoming more and more powerful by the day
If I had him as a science teacher, I probably would have paid attention in class. He just explains everything so clearly and enthusiastically, respectfully.
pls
Please could you give some examples. I guess I am wondering then, why did you opened the video ? He was honest and straight forward.
@@smallsignals I appreciate the effort of your reasonings. However., this particular You Tube subject isn't an in depth academic tutorial, but rather browsing for curiosity sake. Gen X'er are more chilled, anyway. no pun intend...

I used to be a Catholic liturgic musician as a side gig. We used to refer to Joncas’ On Eagle’s Wings as the Yoo Hoo song because of the first words sung. This was one of the most requested songs for a funeral…and one of the trickiest for a non-confident singer because the first sung word’s note is not part of the accompanying instruments’ chord. Victor’s Swedish Chef’s version solves this dilemma!
I an currently a Catholic liturgical musician, and I wholeheartedly agree!!! 😂
I don't know if you noticed, but he has a mug of Pope Benedict
This dude needs to be a public speaker on TED or something. He is so professional and entertaining to watch. I can listen to him all day.
Apparently he was the class speaker at his graduation

He looks like a horror movie antagonist that's actually smart and makes plans for his victims
yes.
More like a cool npc, that would give you strange side quests.
Honestly looks like the reanimator
@@dreamweavergamesyt9939 exactly what he reminded me of, kind of talks like him too

The fact that his name is Victor M. Sweeney is one of the best cases of nominative determinism I've ever seen.

You ever watch the movie Sweeney and Todd
@@iaw7406 Also Victor Frankenstein
Dude. I was like his name is not "Victor M. Sweeney" that's too perfect
I came back to this video 3 years after to say thank you because it made me decide to pursuit this career: I´ve found my vocation, I couldn´t be happier about it and now I´m a well formed mortician who knows what their dream job is because they´re doing it. All because a man in a video had some cool things to say about what he does for a living (pun intended) and Wired posted this video. Thank you.

It’s weird. In my experience, morticians have the best sense of humor of anyone I’ve ever met. Something about working with death and the idea of mortality lets them deal with life a lot more candidly.
It's its own therapy in way I bet
Self preservation through disassociation maybe?
The lady who gave me a colonoscopy had an amazing sense of humor--super funny. I guess it's about gross jobs.
Yep, same thoughts about nurses too.
Or you pay attention to it since you feel he should be serious
He looks like the type of person to prepare a body to classical music in a dim lit room with the lights flickering.
He seems really cool tbh
.... and then takes off his apron once the meal preparation is complete and it’s ready. He grabs his plate and gets his sparkling clean utensils ready, knives and forks. Says a quick prayer to Satan and proceeds to dig in by first cutting off a slice of thigh flesh; seasons it with the finest Moroccan spices and takes a huge bite with a big grin on his face 😈

@@JT-xh1ih 6 so far in my lifetime. None with that guy's enthusiasm.

He speaks of his morticianed people like clients, or patients. He just seems very respectful of the dead people he's prepared. What a rough job, amazing that he's so positive!
It may be a rough job, but it’s a secure job.
You'd have to be a positive person to do something like this, getting constantly reminded of death which almost everybody fears
5:07
It’s not too bad. Sometimes it just gets stinky, and honestly I really hate when the skin slips and the clothes could be messed up.
I think you just get hardened after a while. I know that after seeing my first corpse it just isn't that special anymore and that death is just the end of the cycle.
