Hot morticians?

Here's a spooky Halloween story for you. Sports teams have them; firefighters do too; so why shouldn't undertakers have a sexy calendar to call their own? That's what one group of good-looking funeral directors, looking to change people's impressions of their industry, asked.

We guess they couldn't think of the oh-so-many reasons that might come to mind as to why a morticians sexy calendar is a really bad idea. And so there you have it: the 2007 Men of Mortuaries calendar, featuring twelve of the hunkiest funeral directors in the U.S. posing shirtless in and around their place of work.  That would be the funeral parlor and the cemetery.



However tasteless and macabre you might find this project at least it's for a good cause: proceeds go to aid women living with breast cancer.  And if you're one of the first five hundred purchasers they'll even throw in a Men of Mortuaries t-shirt!
