If you were Daigo?

I'm your huckleberry...

Absolutely

definitely it has great pay and the boss is a really nice guy who is committed to the job. it is a noble profession especially in japan

What timothy said.

Also, unless people stop dying, it's a pretty secure job.

What MightBiteYa said.

I'm anti-social anyway, so wouldn't give a thought to the general stigma, that goes with such a profession.

Dealing with dead bodies I would have no problem with.

Having an entire grieving family scrutinize my every moment as I prepare the body for burial, however... may be an issue.

I think I could get used to it. The pay is clearly very good, the boss in this movie is a really nice and laid-back guy, and the morbidity of the whole thing would make it difficult at first but a person can adjust to anything after a while. I'd just hope I wouldn't get the same first job Daigo got after being hired lol. I'd like to ease into it first before facing something like that.

As for the social stigma, well i'm a loner anyway so I wouldn't really notice a difference.
