The continuous murders that the funeral service companies in Venezuela have to work at full capacity. Jhonny Aguilar, one of the people who regularly bathed the dead, recounted: 'Monday is our busiest day because murders happen a lot in the weekends'. Due to contact with dead bodies too much, Aguilar and his colleagues considered beauty, bathing and dressing for corpses just a normal job.

However, the working environment of people like Aguilar is an obsession with Carlos Garcia Rawlins, a photojournalist of Reuters.'One of the most terrible things I see is the process of cleaning the body of a dead man from a bullet fired many days ago. The ambient atmosphere is full of the smell of death and chemicals that people use to clean and beautify the victim's body , 'Rawlins said.

Victims killed by violence often undergo autopsies before the family is taken to burial. However, before being buried, these bodies were taken to beauty centers for the deceased. Here, people put all the organs of the dead into a bag before inserting it into the abdomen, inserting newspaper and stitches. The body will be bathed before wearing clothes and shroud before bringing it to the family.

Although not directly working with the corpses, a Spanish-born Laudelino Morales has worked for many deceased for many years. The 76-year-old old man is a grave carver with more than 50 years of service. Wearing the dusty white clothes of marble, Mr. Morales said: ' Venezuela is heaven when I first arrived. However, now it has become hell '.

Rawlins took more than a year to live with Venezuelans to write their stories. This man said, Venezuela's life is getting worse but the death business people are making more and more profits. Even they continue to be rich if unrest is not prevented.
