This Kenyan Mortician on TikTok is Changing Perceptions of Death and the Funeral Industry

Kamau has a licence from the Kenyan Egerton University Funeral Home as an embalmer and funeral director and is one of a new generation of young morticians taking over TikTok with their informative videos seeking to dispel common myths about morticians.

“I think the misconception most people have is that it’s dark, scary, and doom all the time, when it’s the opposite. It’s to be of service to people. It is to make the grief lighter. It is not to make things heavier,” Kamau shared.
