How do you think about my work? My work as a funeral host in Japan. I'm thinking that my work is rare in around the world. I'm usually asked by foreigners about my work and Japanese habit of the funeral ceremony.

How What do you think about my work/job?

My I work/am employed as a funeral host<em> (what is the Japanese word for this?  I am not sure 'host' is the correct word in English)</em> in Japan. <em>(common words we use are 1.funeral director, undertaker, mortician)</em>
I'm thinking that my work is rare in around the world <em>(without knowing precisely what it is, it is not rare, death is part and parcel of life, everywhere)</em>.
I'm usually asked by foreigners about my work and Japanese habit customs and rituals of the funeral ceremony.

 

<em>Historically those dealing with death were shunned - were they not called 'burakumin'?  Yet it is a job that must be done, and there is no dishonour at all.</em>

-When you want to know what someone's opinion is we ask <em>what</em> they think about it

Ok:) It seems, we just don't understand, what it is:/ In your own words 'a rare work':) Though the same with the most of jobs around - we see astronauts in movies, we meet engineers on the streets and we still have no idea about how it feels, really.:) Even with 'sales-managers':) Could you add some details, please?
