The current page image actually shows the Undertaker, which is a stock character in Westerns; this trope is more general. I'll start off the suggestion round with the Tall Man from Phantasm.

Previous thread. I see your point, but I'm not feeling that suggestion.

It's hard to find an image where the Tall Man looks both sinister and obviously a mortician at the same time.

Does this unrelated image look scary enough?

Ehhhh...not so much, plus he doesn't really look like a mortician.

According to the description "Be they morticians, pathologists, funeral house workers or gravediggers — people who deal with the dead have always been assumed to be interesting, because, well, they deal with the dead". Gravediggers also count. I'll keep looking, though.

Since the trope includes pathologists, what about this from Body Bags?

I like the background detail in 6.2. Makes it clearer that he's in a morgue.

6.2 is my preference.

That's enough consensus for 6.2; my question is whether or not the current pic should replace the pic that's currently on Undertaker.

Nah, I think the current there is better.

Fair enough. 6.2's in and the tag's adjusted; caption?

No consensus on a caption; locking up.
