My grandmother was born in 1910. I remember hearing the story about her father, who was a plasterer tradesman, and was hired to do some concrete work at a well known local funeral home in town. He witnessed the owner out in the back of the funeral parlor, where the deceased bodies were received. He saw the owner and an employee, remove the covering off of the corpse on a gurney, and use an outdoor garden hose and hosed the corpse down before bringing it inside. My great-grandfather went home that night and told great-grandma "when I die, don't you dare let "____" take my body!!!". Grandma said when he died, this funeral home director contacted them and tried to get their "business" (they actually did this back then, solicit widows, family of the departed, to get the body). My great-grandma said "No". When a young new up and coming funeral home Director called and asked her "please" to be picked as the funeral home, she said yes. Grandma said they were very respectful, and did a wonderful job with her father's body. You see he was coming home from work and his car overturned on a sharp bend in the road, very near to home. His head was crushed... and my grandmother was a young teenager, and the neighbors came and said "your Dad is wrecked down the road". She ran down with several others and saw his dead body. Our family kept with this funeral home for great-grandma, grandma, her brother, my grandfather and my Dad.

[@lorielogan1816]

I was thinking the same. I used to work in a hospital years ago as a CNA. Me and another CNA had to take a body down to the morgue. When we opened the door to the morgue we both saw an infant that was wrapped laying on a guerny. My coworker got tempted to unwrap the blanket so she could see the infant's face. I told her not to do it because she may see something she couldn't handle that might haunt her for the rest of her life, and she stopped and thought about what I said and didn't do it.
