He's creepy, and I believe he's hiding behind the lid of a coffin. While it's certainly not a good image, I'm still going with Keep Until Better Image Suggested here. It's not misleading, and it's not entirely JAFAAC.
Check out my fanfiction!I can't tell he's an undertaker. He just looks like a weird guy opening a door. Can we get a better shot of him?
This image is far too ambiguous. Needs a better shot, at least.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanNot only is it way too ambiguous and a textbook JAFAAC, it's badly artifacted.

My vote is Pull, classic JAFAAC. That could be a door, the corner of a wall, or any other vertical surface; there's nothing in the image to suggest that it's a coffin lid, or that he's an undertaker.
...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.It's not completely vertical, though, and there's an angle at the top. Personally I have no idea who it is, so I'm guessing, but I can't see it as anything other than that.
Edit: Didn't find that much on a GIS. [1] and [2] were the only ones. Anyone familiar with the source to get a good screen/image?

Check out my fanfiction!The former isn't creepy, and the latter doesn't actually illustrate the undertaker part. As far as the image is concerned, it's just a name.
Check out my fanfiction!Part of the problem is that, at least as far as I've gotten... he's not very often shown doing any actual undertaking.
Here's the anime version of the scene in the current image.◊
The Revolution Will Not Be TropeableBetter.
But I still say he's a bit too bishie.
Proud member of the IAA What's the point of being grown up if you can't act childish?My first thought upon seeing that picture would be less "undertker" and more "vampire"
I have a message from another time...Still, the fact it's on a trope named "Creepy Undertaker" gives it a pass from me. I would like to see a less artifacted picture though.
Me too. It could be made less blurry during reduction to wikisize, at least.
I did find fanart, but I think they are too small and too dark, respectively.

The Revolution Will Not Be TropeableSo Deviant Art stuff would be acceptable?
Proud member of the IAA What's the point of being grown up if you can't act childish?If it illustrates the trope, yes.
Check out my fanfiction!The Undertaker has an image links page already. Look there.
Modified Ura-nage, Torture RackAnd none of those are what the trope is talking about.
Here's a couple of cropped, size-reduced versions of the anime scene...probably still not good enough.

They're still better than the current, though.
Check out my fanfiction!And 18.1 is very nearly not blurry... We could put it up but leave the thread open for more ideas, if any are forthcoming.
The Revolution Will Not Be Tropeable18.1 is the best so far and is good enough to go up on the page given the lack of the lack of anything better.
One more attempt with a brightened version I found. I have the manga page that has this scene, I'll try to get something from it shortly.
EDIT: Scratch the latter part, the dialogue doesn't help anything. It's in vol. 6, page 14 if anyone wants to take a look and weigh in.

18.1 looks like the nicest version to me.
That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.That's pretty cool.
I wonder how long ago this image was placed.
All the image shows is a sinister smiling half-face and long-nailed hand sliding down a vertical surface. Is there anything whatsoever to indicate that this fellow is an undertaker, or even associated with death? No, no there is not.
