A: I was hoping you would come to me last night.
B: I was tired.
A: Your exertions below deck would have no doubt exhausted you.
B: I see that you sent your undertaker of a man-servant to follow me around, how typical.

How can I interpret “undertaker” here? Saying "sent your man-servant" would suffice. How does "undertaker" contribute meaning to the sentence ?
