Just a few months ago, the 26-year-old, who is covered in tattoos, lived a completely different life. Never would she have fathomed that her days would be spent between void deck wakes and the quiet atmosphere of Lim Chu Kang. Instead, she was busy working in the nightlife industry, entertaining clients and drinking on a daily basis.

So how did she get here?

Eve needs a moment to retrace her steps before answering.

“I’ve always been attracted to the funeral industry,” she begins. “But after 7 years, I never thought I’d leave my career in nightlife. I thought I would always do that.”

After losing her job, Eve was pushed far from her expected personal trajectory, something many others may be experiencing now as well. As if it wasn’t hard enough to get a job in a time like this, Eve had an added challenge—her tattoos were met with disdain from multiple employers in different industries.

“There was one particular company that wanted to hire me, so they sent over all the final documents,” she recalled. “But when I mentioned I had quite a number of tattoos, they ghosted me. I never heard from them again.”

To her surprise, it was the funeral industry that was the most welcoming. At the interview with Harmony Funerals, where she has worked at since April, Eve was worried about showing her boss her tattoos. When she eventually did, her boss gasped. But this wasn’t a sign of disdain. She was just intrigued.

She proceeded to ask Eve about her tattoos, and then offered her a job.

“It was so tough to adapt at the start because you can get called at any time of the night to go to work,” she says.

“Now, at 2AM I can get called down to a family’s home. I have to dress up and comfort them. I’m still half asleep but I need to console the family and deal with the body.”

Beyond the working hours, Eve struggled to get used to the exposure to cadavers.

“On the first day of work, I had to dress a deceased body,” she shares, still astounded by the experience. “I was so shocked, I wasn’t expecting to touch a dead body.”

Actually tattoo cannot get her a new job because there is too many applicants for that.
Funeral company job post not many will be interested including CECA or others.
So she got that job

I'm going to bite this one.

Funeral supervisors/directors (frontline) are made up of a lot of foreigners (WP and S-passes). The reason is that Sinkies do not want to join this business due to:

1. long hours,
2. Loss of face amongst friends and relatives.

Singaporeans in the funeral business are usually supporting back end or sales. The younger generation sinkies who are in the business are inheriting it from their parents or have stuck out on their own after gaining invaluable contacts (especially among the embalmers, priests and monks) after 2 or 3 years.

How do i know? I used to work in the funeral industry for a while but gave it up due to the long hours.

Due to Covid, entertainment industry, including Geylang, all very badly affected.
No business.
So, all these ladies got family to feed.
