Previous issue date: 2011-03-31 / The present time is marked by the art of escape from death, which has become
synonymous with failure, its exposure has become intolerable and the care of the dead
body were assigned to third parties who market this practice through services and
products that shape the market undertaker. In this context, in which death is an object of
study, has arisen funeral officers, as professionals dealing with a dead body, with the
pain of relatives and their reactions, often being the first to have contact with the death
scene. As professionals in the health area, the morticians also deal with death. The first
attempt to prevent the arrival of death, funeral officers already has begun their work
routine from there. Death and its surrounding part of their profession. What about those
professionals whose work demands as a feared and denied by society? This study aims
to understand the intents, meanings and implications for the mortician to deal with death
in their daily work in order to focus renewed attention to the care of these professionals.
To this end, it was carried out a qualitative research grounded in the theoretical
framework of Gadamerian hermeneutics for production and interpretation of narratives.
It was used two methodological strategies for data collection: in-depth interview with
script and workshop with the use of "scenes". Research participants were nine
morticians funeral of two funeral agencies of the city of Natal. It was possible to detect
the presence of the social imaginary of interdiction on the theme of death from living
with feelings of his presence daily, from the need of respondents to naturalize their
contacts with death, a requirement of their office to deal with the difficulties of
manipulating body fluids and odors, sometimes in a state of decomposition; allied to
wishes to achieve the goal of delivering to family-customers a "embellished" body for
the final farewell. Being a mortician, in addition to not being a professional motivation,
involves facing difficulties related to heavy routine work, low salaries, unprofitable
work materials and equipments, besides having to deal with the social gaze that
devalues the profession. In turn, they also deal with the pain coming especially from
contact with family members, either when they are targets of these feelings of anger,
whether they identify with the pain of the bereaved ones. On the other hand, when the
recognition and gratitude of the families occur, they find meaning and beauty in their
profession of caring for the dead body. The present study by giving voice to morticians
has become possible to understand better their profession, the pain that surrounds and
care needs of these workers. Finally, it has argued that the mortician may be recognized
as a care professional for the way exercising caution with the dead body and their
families. / A atualidade ? marcada pela arte de fugir da morte e os cuidados com o corpo morto
atribu?dos a terceiros, atrav?s de servi?os que configuram o mercado funer?rio. Neste
contexto, surgem os agentes funer?rios, profissionais que lidam com o corpo morto,
com a dor dos familiares e suas rea??es. Este estudo tem como objetivo compreender os
sentidos, significados e implica??es para o agente funer?rio ao lidar com a morte em seu
cotidiano de trabalho a fim de orientar uma aten??o voltada para o cuidado a esses
profissionais. Foi realizada uma pesquisa qualitativa ancorada no referencial te?rico da
Hermen?utica Gadameriana para produ??o e interpreta??o das narrativas. Utilizamos
duas estrat?gias metodol?gicas para coleta de dados: entrevista em profundidade com
roteiro e oficina com utiliza??o de cenas . Nove agentes funer?rios de duas ag?ncias
funer?rias da cidade de Natal participaram da pesquisa. Constatou-se a presen?a de um
cen?rio social de interdi??o sobre a morte convivendo com sentimentos oriundos de sua
presen?a di?ria: a necessidade dos entrevistados de naturalizar seu contato com a morte,
a fim de conseguirem manipular os fluidos e odores de corpos, aliados ao objetivo de
entregar aos familiares-clientes um corpo embelezado para a despedida final. Ser
agente funer?rio n?o ? uma motiva??o profissional e implica enfrentar dificuldades:
pesada rotina de trabalho, baixa remunera??es, equipamentos de trabalho deficit?rios;
lidar com o olhar social que desvaloriza a profiss?o e as dores advindas do contato com
os familiares. No entanto, diante do reconhecimento e agradecimento das fam?lias os
agentes encontram sentido e beleza no of?cio de cuidar do corpo morto. Este estudo
possibilitou compreender o cotidiano dessa profiss?o, as dores que a envolve e as
necessidades de cuidado desses trabalhadores. Defende o reconhecimento do agente
funer?rio como um profissional de cuidado, pela forma como exerce o cuidado com o
corpo morto e seus familiares.
