Students practice with a plastic mannequin during an undertaker service class at the Tianquanjiajing Funeral Service school in Jiaxing, Zhejiang province May 29, 2012. A new breed of young Chinese undertakers are fighting centuries-old taboos to gain social acceptance for their profession, saying they help the deceased and their families make their final parting with respect. There are more than 1,500 students across the country studying to become undertakers each year. Courses in funeral services take three years to complete and the service includes washing of the dead body as well as providing funeral make-up and dressing. Picture taken May 29, 2012.

Nejdříve je nutné, aby studenti pohřební školy ztratili přirozený strach dotýkat se těl zemřelých lidí. Teprve potom se výuka posune směrem k praktičtějším sférám studia. Žáci se například naučí, jak nebožtíka svléknout ze šatů, aby jeho tělo mohlo být omyto. | Foto: Reuters
