Men of Mortuaries

Following up on yesterday's post about the sexy mortuary calendar from 1948, here's a more recent example of the same kind of thing, but featuring sexy "men of mortuaries."

It was released as a one-off thing in 2008 in order to raise money for a breast cancer charity.

Sociological Images posted an article about how the calendar could be seen as an attempt to "humanize funeral directors."

I don't understand the point of this fund raiser... Are they trying to promote breast cancer to increase their business or are they trying to go broke?

Just askin.

I'm a little disappointed. I was expecting good-looking corpses like in the female version. Something like a YOLO or a Darwin Awards calendar.

Keeping up with physical training could be an advantage in that industry - one could lift a body from prep table to coffin all alone.
