Experiencing Interruptions?

The craft of death

Gerson Guzmán is a 39-year-old man who is very passionate about his work as a thanatopraxist. Since he started, he has prepared more than 5.000 corps. However, because of the many taboos that exist concerning the profession, he's had many difficulties over the years. Despite this, Gerson always manages to pull through. Now he's one of the most highly trained professionals in Cochabamba.

To Gerson, the profession goes far beyond fixing people aesthetically, it is a job with a high human sense that gives him much gratification.
