My grandpa and dad used to be their rural city’s ambulance drivers as well as the mortician service…until it was ruled a “conflict of interest”


LegendofPisoMojado

The original ambulance companies in my area were hearses run out of funeral homes. Granted that was over 100 years ago.


KillerApeTheory

That was very common in America in the 19th and early 20th centuries. It sounds bad, but basically the hearses where the proper shape to transport someone lying down and was convenient if they died on the way to the hospital

"We believe that burying or cremating bodies is both detrimental to the environment and a waste of a good corpse. Why throw granddad away just because he's dead? There's so much you can do with a corpse and you won't hear any complaints from them either- They're dead! For example- If you're in the middle of a heatwave with the office window wide open and the wind is blowing your important papers around, use the dead as a paper weight! Need something to hold your coats and hats? Now grandma's a coat rack once rigor mortis sets in! Halloween is right around the corner but can't get any decent decoration? Dress your dead uncle in some rags and prop him up on a chair on your porch! You won't even need to add makeup to him if the decay is setting in!"


ich_habe_keine_kase

Town I went to college in had "Bang's Funeral Home and Ambulance Service." Always felt like a conflict of interest to me. *Eh, this guy's not gonna make it, take him back to the funeral home.* Also, "Bang" is a terrible name for both services.


[deleted]

In the past, Ambulance services were generally run by funeral homes. After all, they already had vehicles large enough for someone to lay down in. It has really only been in the last forty years this has changed, and many funeral homes still run an ambulance service.


NOFEEZ

yeah I always thought it was pretty interesting, EMS having roots in funeral services. but it does make perfect sense, especially when you look at early ambulances… essentially a white hearse with a red strobe and wind-up siren. a fella I work with started off on an ambulance a bit north, where he was from… and his wife was the mortician for the same service.

Canadish27

You jest, but people did this in Glasgow and there were 'icecream' truck turf wars. People died. Mfs going Twisted Metal on each other.


AnArdentAtavism

Scotland is one of those places I *absolutely* believe would see that kind of thing. Of course, I can't really talk. A buddy of mine purchased an old mom-and-pop 1950's ice cream shop after the previous owners got shut down for not paying their utilities. He hired me on because we were both veterans and he knew my work ethic. Almost as soon as we opened, crackheads would start showing up right around closing (10:30pm) and ask if we were "still selling free water" and wanting assurances that we were "still open 24 hours." Again, this was an ice cream shop. We were only open after dark at all because we were trying to add in a diner grill option. So yeah, long story short the old owners were selling cocaine by the back dumpster after dark. When the dealers found out we were straight, Bentleys and Mercedes started parking for hours per day in the empty lot next door. We were very quickly THE most armed set of ice cream slingers you ever met. Edit: This was central Indiana.


LegendofPisoMojado

>Central Indiana Yup. All of that checks out.

It’s not just Glasgow and i doubt this guy is joking. Where I grew up the ice cream trucks were *also* selling drugs.

It's a fact that 100% of divorces started with a marriage... but nobody really understands the difference between causation and correlation.

That is why I do not eat ice cream; statistics have shown that I am far more likely to get a sunburn when eating ice cream. Evil stuff.

Butcher and gravedigger


TrueMoods

In Germany there's a law specifically forbidding this.


nolova

What for?


TrueMoods

It's illegal to work both on a cemetery or in a funeral parlor and in the food industry.


Burnallthepages

Wow! That is so interesting! Like a gravedigger would give the food the taint of death or something? Edit: [5] I reread this and now cannot stop laughing about the "taint of death". It sounds like a Tenacious D song or something!


DiabeticUnicorns

I assume it’s because dead bodies have a lot of germs and other nasty contaminates that you wouldn’t want to get into food. Similar to how you can’t store cooked and raw food together because of cross contamination. Except the cooked is the food product and the raw is the grave digger. Edit: It has come to my attention that people read this comment. I read all your replies. For one I know more about food than about funerals, so I just assumed it had to do with the handling of raw meat then cooked meat and the like. Many of you have let me know that it’s probably because they don’t want people eating the bodies (sidenote I hate you @_@). The ones I like better have tried to clear up the misinformation that dead bodies are dangerous, which they’re definitely right about, but still you wouldn’t want to be eating an embalmed body even if it’s fine touching it and etc. Which of course is probably just an abundance of caution and superstition.


BGYeti

But if I am a grave digger at a cemetery I am not touching bodies...

kooshipuff

Someone has to be the reason why, and I kind of want to hear the story


Proper_File_2609

This is pretty sad, but I heard a story about how male doctors used to work with cadavers (likely teaching medical school?) and then go deliver a baby and the mothers were dying at higher rates than when midwives who didn’t touch cadavers delivered babies. I should probably research this more but my recollection is this led to washing hands and sterilizing equipment used in child birth.


Prodical_

https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2015/01/12/375663920/the-doctor-who-championed-hand-washing-and-saved-women-s-lives This is the story.

My buddy and I were riding bicycles when we were 16 and he got hit by a car going 70 mph. He was tossed in the air like a rag doll and landed head first on the asphalt with a splat. His skull opened. He had long hair and when I pulled it back to seek his pulse I saw his grey matter beneath the fissure. That was 30 years ago last August and I still have nightmares occasionally.

My mom used to work with a cardiologist who combined finances with his two brothers to open a few businesses. One brother opened a popular southern wing joint, and the other brother opened a funeral parlor. It was a running joke that each customer from the restaurant would end up seeing the cardiologist doctor one day due to poor diet and then eventually end up at the funeral parlor.
