A Texas funeral home has garnered thousands of viewers who are captivated by the account that shows carefully coordinated celebration of life proceedings, and the overall pristine operation that is directed by its "elegant" leader.

All People's Funeral Home with two locations in the Houston, Texas, area has a TikTok account with over 2 million likes, and viewers are utterly obsessed with the professionalism they say is displayed by the star of the videos, President Deborah Ali-Williams, as well as her staff.

In the account's most viral video with 2 million views, you can see the funeral director setting up a service and combing through the details to make sure everything is perfect for the departed's family and friends.

On that clip, there's an outpour of comments that summarize what each video the account posts receives.

Most comments are about the director's elegance like "She’s a very professional queen" and "I love watching how you command perfection. I bet you have a very successful business."

However, there are some people who don't understand the business' viral content.

"Is the focus of this video about funeral preparation or about the lady walking around in it?" a user commented, with others agreeing.

In other TikToks, you can learn different things about remembrance celebrations like how to prepare a casket, and the different things that families request Ali-Williams do like hosting a "crowning ceremony" or closing the casket uniformly at the end of the service.

There are so many viewers who seem to love the videos, especially the ones of her directing the procession traffic after the ceremonies while wielding a megaphone.

"Madam President has the 📢!!! She plays no games!!! I love her!" a person commented, with many other remarks reflecting the same sentiment.

Yes, users want Ali-Williams to be president.

The funeral home's social presence is to provide "everlasting remembrance" for the passed loved ones.
