Undertakers. Additional answer: pallbearers
Pallbearers. They can be women also.
6 are needed in order to carry the casket
In our Catholic Church, the pallbearers stand on the side of the casket and carry it. The casket would be at the head of the procession with the mourners following it, and the priest bringing up the end.
Depending on the casket used, it is to keep fingerprints off of any polished metal hardware on the casket, including the handles/rails themselves and out of simple utility - a better grip for the pallbearers - it can also be viewed as a mark of respect to the deceased as well.
Walter Hudson's casket was custom-made and measured 6 feet wide and weighed over 1,000 pounds. It had to be transported using a flatbed truck and required 12 pallbearers to carry it.
the family to request a few associates of the deceased to serve as honorary pallbearers. They do not actively assist in carrying the casket, they usually walk beside or in front of the casket.
This is just a guess and I am assuming that this person has something to do with wrestling so..a pallbearer is someone who helps carry the casket in a funeral service. Yeh, since Paul Bearer came out with "Undertaker" and pallbearers are the ones who carry the casket, it just fit together.
i think it should be the 6 strongest men in the family or of the friends some times little boys in the family help out too
This task is normally performed by employees of the funeral parlor involved. the principal mourner, normally walks right behind the casket as it is led into the church. just over a year ago I performed this sad chore for my Mother. The next of kin is normally the principal mourner. Pallbearers carry the coffin.
It can Be done as a special request of The family or as a High Honor for a VIP person with the Funeral home in Charge where I Live its A Move called A stairway To Heaven and Does cost extra 3.400 dollars here
