While most teenagers have no idea what they're going to do in life, two 17-year-olds from Britain have started their work and the choice they've made is somewhat strange.

Allie and Ben are being trained as undertakers, one of the oldest professions in the world. Of course, their task is not to pick up shovels and open graves. Ben is the one who makes the transport of the deceased while Ellie prepares them for the last residence.

“I'm in service tonight. It's never nice to go get a dead man. You can go to an address and find a dead peer, or maybe someone older. Then you realize that everything can happen”, Ben says.

After Ben's task is finished, Ellie's begins, which causes the deceased or the deceased to receive proper care and respect, which somewhat alleviates the pain of family members.

I don't mind being close to death because I've always been different and there's no doubt that this industry is different. I don't think I'm ever gonna get bored of this job, and I don't think I can get another job where I can show myself”, says Allie.

Elli points out that he understands people very well and wants to help, so he feels that this profession is the right one. Many may raise their eyebrows with the choice of Ellie and Ben, especially at this young age, but by the very end, sooner or later we all realize that death is the only sure thing in life.
