When you work with the dead it helps to have a sense of humor. One deathcare company decided that laughter may be the best medicine for our collective pandemic exhaustion so they made a series of COVID-19 safety posters with a hint of humor and a funeral industry twist.
The solidified remains company, Parting Stone, released a printable set of 6 posters that show Covid safety warnings. If you’re in the funeral industry these are perfect to hang up at work. And, if you’re simply a fan of dark humor – your welcome.
“Our approach to COVID safety is similar to how we approach the work we do at Parting Stone. We take protocols and procedures very seriously, but, we’ve found that it’s our sense of humor that gets us through the hard days,” says Kelse Lighthizer, Parting Stone’s Production Manager.
Anyone in the death care industry can recognize the common themes throughout these posters. Some posters contain phrases like “6 Feet Apart is Better Than 6 Feet Under” and “Mask it or Casket.” Parting Stone has put a comedic spin on the serious warnings with illustrations that reference airplane emergency instructions. You know… the ones that airlines used to strap on the back of every airplane seat next to the Skymall magazine.
“We are not out of this pandemic yet but we can see a light at the end of the tunnel,” says CEO Justin Crowe. “Even though many of our peers are getting vaccinated, we need to keep up social distancing and handwashing practices to protect our colleagues and the families we serve.”
Some of these posters balance a precarious line of grief and humor, but when you work with death every day – shouldn’t you be able to laugh a little at a Grim Reaper who is concerned with your handwashing technique?
Hang these posters wherever someone could use a good laugh or a good warning.
