From this interview with Paul Bearer:

Q: Do you get recognized while working on funerals?
Oh yes. I’ll have a family in my office, and all of a sudden one of them will look up and say, ‘Oh my gosh, Grandma’s funeral is being done by Paul Bearer!’ Southern folks are a little bit different in that wrestling is probably bigger than it is to northern folks. I’ve often had people ask me to stand up next to grandma or grandpa’s casket for a picture. Of course, I have to decline as politely as I can, because that’s obviously not appropriate. I’ll offer them a chance to come back to my office for an autograph or something, but that’s it.
