the.com/undertaker

The last person who'll ever dress you, and the only one who never complains.

means A person whose job is to prepare the dead for burial or cremation and to arrange and manage funerals.

from A plain English compound: 'under' + 'take.' An 'undertaker' was originally just anyone who 'undertook' a task — a contractor, an entrepreneur, a person who took something on. By around the 17th century the word narrowed to one particular grim undertaking: managing the business of funerals. The general sense faded, the specialized sense stuck, and now the word smells faintly of lilies and varnished oak.
