Such a soothing narration

"It doesn't matter who you are or if you are rich because we can't escape death."

[@silverbells4732]

jun lin is a truly business woman....with ideas and vision.... and she truly cares for the financial progress of her staff....

[@silverbells4732]

the narrator has d most soothing and relaxing voice......

Holding on to traditions is key to a culture. Dont throw away your ways. Its who you are

[@ruthtapiwa6311]

Wow i respect these people, they do such a great thing. In life we need people & in death, we need people. It's such a shame that there is stigma attached to the "death profession" in most societies but we need them. The dead can't bury the dead,only the living can do so.

Thank you

[@xiaoweihu2301]

I feel bad for Junlin, for missing out on her childhood. In modern day, it would be considered child abuse for what her grandmother did to her.

[@silverbells4732]

jun lin being a mourner is not easy at all.....having to mourn with tears to make ends meet....its saddening but its an honest living. corrupt politicians, rapists, murderers, drug dealers, drunkards do not belong in our society.... jun lin is d best best person for she earns an honest living. those moronic minded prejudice ppl also will come to death....and their bodies r best left unattended......let them rot....

when i was young, i have seen morners paid in indian funerals. seems very similar but now i dont see it anymore

[@fohyongchin1234]

0:40 my mind is waiting for coffin dance

[@raymondtan3653]

Traumatizing to hear her cry

[@silverbells4732]

only shallow thinking ppl are still depicting morticians and funeral parlours and funerals as bad omen and a taboo.... is she a mortician or an advertisement model....? she is pretty..... she is earning n honest living.... the band girls r very beautiful and slim..... to hell with those with shallow minded ppl who ostracise funeral band members......

[@Makminah_]

Yes, I am Asian. And I do confirm that Asian's most taboo subject is death. Especially for chinese.

[@Guan-ey9ld]

Business tricks 👍🏻,but they work hard for it.

[@davidkai3286]

How she work out to have 50k cases ?

[@ualuuanie]

This is my take hope you don't get offended. Maybe she counts like if 1 whole family of 5 dies due to car accident she counts 5 cases that day or maybe she does 1 in the morning and 1 in the evening. I am not too familar with Chinese funeral so I can only guess.

[@yangtzeling7468]

Clearly only the rich in death gets led to “ heaven “. The poor are still “ lost “ in death. Consumerism at its best.

Jun Lin is pretty.......creepy

[@conanabang1515]

I think you are the creepy one. Liu Jun Ling looks every way normal to me.

[@avidika882]

she does look pretty and also little creepy. but i believe she is a beautiful soul. but like it or not, there are some souls that will follow you though may not harm.

[@conanabang1515]

@@avidika882 So what made you feel she is creepy ? Would you have felt the same way if you were not told about her occupation ?

[@avidika882]

@@conanabang1515 you seem to have a problem with someone 's frank opinion. its not critical. i bet you if she change her professon or never was in this profession, she would look more awesome. you may not understand how energies can aaffect certaim people. the environment the person in carries vibrations and energies. so thats what i see. i am not degarding the person nor saying negative but as much as she looks sweet, and has a beautiful heart ( i guess) but there seem a that loook that gives me that feeling. i am not into anay analysis paralysis but thats how i feel. i dont deny she is passionate about the job and is doing a honest job. all is good but that s how i feel. i am not judging her. its just how i feel on the onset.

[@conanabang1515]

@@avidika882 It seems to me that she is discriminated because of her profession.

It’s just stupid

[@russt.1069]

Liang What a stupid comment. Be respectful and sensitive to others religion and culture especially if it involves the death of someone’s loved one. What you practice in your faith or your country might be strange to others as well.
