The 12-year-old trainee funeral director - BBC Stories

[@WolfishMagic]

this girl is insanely mature that's so respectable

[@eugenesokol3918]

Beautiful girl with a caring heart.

[@mariavalentine4827]

She seems very wise for her age

[@chrismaplethorpe6781]

If she likes helping out at her age then good for her. Bet lot of adults couldn't do it. Also working in funerals you are never going to be out of work

[@aenorist2431]

Yes you are. Humanity will either destroy itself or cure aging in the next few centuries, thats 99% of their buisness gone.

[@wren8996]

Ae Norist Next few centuries? That numbers are a lot and enough to give them fortune and job security compared to your monthly contract in the office.

[@Christian_Girl120]

That's nice that she helps out. Teaches not only funerals but respect for the dead.

[@Gamer-ji1uf]

any1 notice how she was constantly smiling and talking really softly and quietly?

[@hannaswida9312]

Well she's not retarded mate

[@Gamer-ji1uf]

Hanna Świda I didn’t say she was, I just think it’s a bit creepy considering what she’s doing.

[@elisapelaccia1558]

Byr0 Minecraft- I think she was just nervous. She seems a bit socially awkward. But extremely bright, and wise beyond her years. Many adults (myself included!) would not be able to do what she does. I would be a bit concerned about her if I were her mom though. Always being around death, sadness and grief, especially at such a tender age. But somebody has to do it, and she seems to have a real passion for it! I wish her well in all of her future endeavors!

[@diannegaylord567]

She has an old soul. She's smart and respectful too.

[@buliZulu-ip4iy]

She is definitely brave. I wouldn't do it.

[@anderskandersson4613]

Buli Zulu - me too.. sooo scary 😳😞😢👀

[@jimfowler5930]

You are just a year older than I was 61 years ago when my dad died right at my feet. Seeing him in his casket is something I will NEVER forget. Bless you for blessing the people around you, especially at your age, which you were 4 years ago! A true angel!

[@mothman411]

What a great little girl !! A noble trade to be in.

[@colinmayes9446]

Well done young lady, you are so professional.

[@sarahbrennan1342]

[@neiltoatasi6892]

She's an inspiration to her peer group.....will you allow your daughter to be a funeral director 😊? Just joking 🤣

[@fourtwo95]

[@thebirdsthebeescelebrant6838]

This is wonderful to see. As a Funeral Celebrant who has taken some funeral directing training I really feel it is important for us to talk more openly about the topic of death.

[@oliviarossi9981]

[@drewdavis6720]

Her hat is my aesthetic!

[@stefepedia]

[@axixgraham3602]

A real little Miss Wednesday.

[@icyflower100]

You Go Girl, Some People At 12 Years Old, Has Done, Weirder And Scarier And Even Stupid Things, But This What, You're Doing Is, Awesome.... Bravo And Kudos To You.

[@wenif.constantino3161]

Death is not scary because it's a part of life. Whether we like it or not there's a time for it which nobody knows when. It is scary in the sense knowing you will die not fulfilling what you wanted to do before it happen. 😔

[@carine4318]

Awesome lady. Death is a reality that’s for sure.

[@dakotahope599]

She has a mature perspective :)

[@airzulu2733]

Admiration for her .

[@ossyrover1982]

Quite heartwarming story that

[@welcometogreenaquasglen1846]

A very mature young woman. I see quite a future for her.

[@Foxybiker72]

Well done Olivia, Never let death frighten you it's only the living you have to be aware of.

[@thatrandomguy6753]

She could be a shinigami. Idk she would be a good Shinigami

[@Gamer-ji1uf]

ThatRandomGuy anime...

[@thatrandomguy6753]

Red Lightning 2nd what?

[@aesthetickitteh1877]

She talks so softly and quietly She reminds me more of L tbh than ryuk or any of the other shinigamis (idk how to spell it haha)

[@whw1956]

What is a Shinigami?????

[@tegan8523]

Why can't this be me? People die all the time and they will always need looking after.

[@d.b.2812]

[@Sims_lover_17]

shed be a nice friend to have

[@bazzer884]

Nevaeh Scranton she's really not

[@aplantishche]

That's soooo cool!

[@Joshua-tk4io]

Darkest 12 year old ever

[@sanu.shaikh1234]

She is so preety looking girl❤

[@TinaDavisblackrose]

Brave girl.

[@yodagaming2559]

Being older I realise that I could have done something similar with my career... but cleaning up sick and poo on dead bodies, dealing with families of children... I really can't. I really want to be a crematory operator instead of an embalmer or an undertaker, but getting a license (you need to be put through mortuary school here in the US) would be too expensive for me as I'm already paying for school in a completely different field (I study death in history).

[@christopheolivier7629]

1inevitable destiny . Respect & psychology . & Form of sensitivity !

[@gumpforest3073]

When employers need you to be under 30 years old with 20 years of job experience.

[@rachelgreen3023]

Healthy girl

[@cobrafire3700]

I'm 15, and I wanna be an undertaker

[@katieharley2695]

I'm 12 and never been to a funeral or wedding this is my mum's account til I'm 18

[@BeeApple-sr3db]

I would never bury anyone in a basket nor a shipping crate.

[@BeeApple-sr3db]

Here in The US we have Caskets. We got rid 9f Coffins in the early 1900's

[@orphanoforbit7588]

Another loud American shouting about more nonsense. The only difference between a casket and a coffin is the shape.

[@cremedementhe6717]

This can traumatize a kid and desensitize her so she thinks death is a walk in the park

[@msjacksshipsadventures8382]

I would be scared

[@MrBiggzVlogs]

Fair play

[@BeeApple-sr3db]

Aren't you a little to young to be a Funeral Director in Training? Here in The United States we have to go to college, take a national board, and an internships.😊😊😊😊😊

[@smug8567]

That is a mighty sorry business to be in

[@tsuwumugi3617]

sounds fun

[@iain.4627]

12 years old thats too young to work in a home i didnt see my first till i was 18

[@leejameson3001]

Can

[@andrearias570]

Wtf hu tao irl

[@abbiesmith1186]

What a very inspiring and amazing young lady doing a very commendable job . I hope that she will carry on her well recognised hard work, focus and ambition , oneday become a wonderful funeral director supporting many more families through such emotional times 🥲👏

[@theunsalted9195]

Why do commonwealth countries have such shitty coffins......

[@babyblue6743]

😂

[@Heresheis0818]

🫣👀

[@christopherbrownmaaga4668]

A junkie turned funeral director

[@Sarah-qy9nq]

Those nails tho

[@PINKKYLIELOUISE]

Her Nana is doing my brothers funeral on Thursday

[@JaneBlack-gk8wz]

❤12? That's child abuse ❤

[@KatrinaBrown-fs9wh]

What an idiot u are

[@taraallec1413]

i do thinking about that dark sideing teen girl is too young is working around with death she shouldn't worry about death just being a teenaged at very young age because no kids and no teenagers shouldn't work around with death and worry death ever being too young it is a lot of better for them dont work with death and it is better and ok a lot older people working around with death not no kids and no teenagers ever

[@vincitveritas3872]

If your a child or grand child of a funeral director it's something you grow up with.

[@billparkinson3177]

Attention seeking

[@jamesgrey785]

child abuse?

[@samanthacosta5263]

How is that work dangerous? She only makes the props and paperwork. And She seems very happy to do it.

[@samanthacosta5263]

Nein, to James Grey, KZbin really sucks when you try to have a conversation.

[@user-rm1lm3rt7e]

James grey I don't think u know what that word means

[@TerranTaro]

how lol? it seems like she does only small things you'd expect of a 12 year old, she's not preparing bodies and the like- she's prepping coffins, cleaning, and other small things. Based on the video she seems to like it

[@aesthetickitteh1877]

Bless
