What's the best way, to face (and deal with) my irrational fear?

I suffer from thanatophobia, and several of my friends and colleagues have suggested that I face my fear and “attack it, head-on,” by working as a volunteer (or as a part-time paid employee) at either a masoleum, creamatorium, or funeral home. They have said that they can arrange that, and that by being around cadavers all day, I will lose my irrational fear.
What do you think of this idea? If you don’t believe that it’s a good one, then do you have a better idea to suggest?
No, I don’t mind smart-aleck (whimsical) comments, because the use of humor has been suggested, also.
Thanks for your thoughts on this, whatever form they make take.
