Mr. Omer is an undertaker in Yarmouth. David meets him and his family for the first time when he is being fitted with clothes for Clara Copperfield's funeral. Despite (or perhaps because of) his line of work, Mr. Omer is remarkably cheerful and calm even when discussing funeral arrangements. He also does some general work as a tailor, and employs little Em'ly for a while as a seamstress.

Now my opinion is, that it came into circulation principally on account of her saying, at the school, that if she was a lady she would like to do so and so for her uncle—don't you see?—and buy him such and such fine things."
