‘People Who Die Alone Are Men’ -Funeral Director, Others Share Heartbreaking Experiences
A funeral director has shared insights and experiences from her time in the profession.
@bestlil_badgurl took to social media to disclose this after an X user said many women will die alone.
However, the funeral director said even single women rarely die alone because they mostly build communities that stay with them till the end.
She wrote:
“Hi, Funeral Director here.
“The people who die alone are men. Women have a community, men rarely do.
“We have to search far and wide for someone to claim their bodies, in many cases, we bury them curtesy of the state and the only people who are at the funeral is me and a driver.
“In other cases, we may find some estranged family members. When we tell them the reason for our call, they let us know that XYZ was a terrible man and they want nothing to do with his body nor funeral arrangements.”

Reacting to the post, an anonymous wrote:
“I’m a man and have seen this first hand. She’s spot on! Most men die alone and most men commenting in the negative are young men who feel they’ve got it all figured out until they get to that age.
Our egos cause us to trample over so many people without realizing it early and our kids will most likely have an affinity for their mothers in our old age except for the few men that had exceptional good relationships with their kids (especially daughters).”
