About This Quote
Who embalms the Undertaker when he dies? is a humorous answer to the question of who undertakes the deceased person’s final burial rites. The undertaker is the one who takes care of the corpse after death, and performs the burial. The undertaker is entrusted with this task because he knows that all too soon he will be carrying out his own funeral rites.
