Content creators such as Thee Mkamba have gained popularity for their authentic content circling what they do in their day-to-day lives.
What is the role of morticians?
He has given his fans a tour of his place of work, and some Kenyans have admitted that they fear watching his videos.

The fear stems from the fact that his work constantly confronts death, grief, and the physical realities of mortality.
For many Kenyans, watching his videos feels unsettling because they associate mortuaries with sorrow and finality, places people usually avoid unless necessary.
His openness in showing embalming rooms, coffins, and the tools of his trade strips away the mystery but also forces viewers to face a subject that is culturally sensitive and often shrouded in silence.
Well, the content creator has assured his followers that his videos are not meant to instil fear but rather to educate and enlighten society.
“These videos are not intended to instil fear. They are created to educate and enlighten society on the critical role of morticians and the professional services we provide,” he said.
The mortician noted that the mortuary should be viewed with understanding, as, according to him, it is a place of dignity and care where they honour people even in death.
He added that morticians are trained professionals who are not lesser beings in society, as they exist to serve the community with integrity, compassion, and respect in times of need.
“The mortuary should not be viewed with fear, but with understanding. It is a place of dignity, care, and responsibility where life is honoured even in death. Morticians are trained professionals, not lesser beings. We exist to serve the community with integrity, compassion, and respect during times of need. Education removes fear. Understanding builds respect,” he said.
