Shitai Katsugi no Nemu - Vol. 1 Ch. 1 - The Corpse Bearer

It's respectable work. Everyone fears death, and being close to people who deal with makes them scared of what'll happen to them eventually. Especially for religious and superstitious. (I volunteered in a morgue and cemetery once, there's a stigma to it)

The only thing that doesn't make sense was the family that hired her acting like she was plagued until she gave them money (the mithril ore) and then she wasn't so bad. It was realistic, but they were waiting for her to bring back their daughter but then don't want to interact with her? That's like if I went into an auto shop today and refused to interact with the mechanic and only talked to the sales clerk and went full Karen if a mechanic even tried to ask me a question about my car.

Certain well-paying jobs just don't have good reputation even though many people desperately need their services: dentists, lawyers, or even extreme examples like assassins. You pay them a fat wad of your hard-earned cash to handle unpleasant work and you want them to take a hike once they're not needed.
Speaking of mechanics - they're not well liked where I'm from, either. They're always suspected of overcharging for their services, doing unnecessary repairs, or using cheap fixes when they know you can't tell the difference.
