Just for fun 
We're not looking to move, but I'm curious what others would do.
As I was walking the dog the other day, I noticed a "for rent" sign over a mortuary. The sign advertised that it was spacious and beautiful, and it's in a great location.
Could you live here? I don't know that I could!

I actually think that's really neat and I totally would. I'm kind of creepy and morbid though...

I wouldn't worry about ghosts but the chemicals and germs would scare me.

It wouldn't be my first choice but if it was a great place for a good price I would be okay with it!

they use all sorts of gross chemicals on the deceased and the sad people coming and going all the time would make me sad. i wouldn't want to live there, but hey, there are times in life when we have to do things we don't like, so if for some reason it had to happen, i'd accept it for as long as i had to.

@loveisstrange: those were my first thoughts too! "OMG. I could live in an episode of Six Feet Under!" LOL

Maybe? The house I grew up in was previously owned by an undertaker. There was an embalming table in the basement. It never bothered me!

Did it smell like dead people? If not I could! I'd expect a little more for my money due to creep factor but for the right deal? Heck ya. Lol

Nooooo! I'd like to say I wouldn't think about it and it wouldn't bother me, but every little sound I heard at night would make my imagination run wild and I'd psych myself out!

It would have to be seriously amazing and I would want my own entrance/etc so I could kind of avoid all the stuff going on. It would depend, too if they do the cremating, etc, there, or if it's just a typical morgue where they store bodies. Not keen on the idea, but it would have to be a super amazing place to live!

@Ra: Dude, I seriously considered it too. It's a somewhat dying field though, so I decided not to.

Rent? Sure, for the short term. Buy? Nope. I like my neighbors to be alive

I wouldn't care that it was a mortuary so as long is as I liked the place and the price was right, no issues for me!
