HEARSE DRIVERS DON’T HORSE AROUND
November 10, 2009
by AINHOA REBOLLEDO
Aside from washing up cutlery, going to work is my least favorite thing to do. Even in Barcelona (sun, Gaudi, beach, you know) work is a drag. Especially when the office is located on the main route between a funeral home and the municipal crematorium. Every time I go out on the fire escape for a smoke and to try and ignore the interns having a nervous breakdown because no one acknowledged their existence for 30 seconds, I’m presented with another reminder of life’s ultimate brevity and insignificance as a hearse rolls by, fresh from either taking or having dropped off someone’s dearly departed.
To break up the monotony, face up to our fears, and have an hour’s fucking peace in the office, we sent an intern out to throw herself in front of a hearse and ask some questions about exactly what it is these death delivery boys actually do.
