Embalming the Dead

News Packet by Bobbie Spry

[@lanejohnson9926]

I’m 17 years old, and I have felt that my calling is in mortuary, I have always been wanting to help families in the time of need when they have lost a loved one to ensure that they are in the proper care and once I graduate high school in 2026 I plan to go to a college that offers mortuary science

[@heatherbleu5370]

I met this gentleman shortly before I began school. In fact he helped me pick the school I attended. A really kind man:)

Thank you for what you do to all Funeral Directors and Morticians, , I wanted to attend Dallas Institute of Funeral Service back in 1993 and thanks to one of the people in the funeral business allow me to work as an apprentice and I learned I wasn't cut out for the work but I have a great respect for those that are, it's my opinion that people in the funeral business and the medical field nurses and nurses aides usually really are good about serving people and taking pride in what they do and I know of some morticians that have put so much energy and effort and ingenuity into making a body presentable for the family after car accidents and things of that nature and it really helps the family get some closure my hat is truly off to them,,, sincerely, Jerry Jocoy

[@Romans1.24-27]

thank you for your post, I am currently working in a funeral home, and finding out that the mind blowing amount of paperwork, administrative work is not my forte, i am more physical laborer type . so if i can't get into transporting..i will have to quit.

[@jerrydonquixote5927]

@@Romans1.24-27 I wouldn't like that either I can't sit behind a desk never been good at that kind of thing I don't know where you're at you're in but in transporting there's a place in Fort Worth, Tarrant County mortician service the guy that used to own it I can't think of his name but anyway you might try there and see what they have for openings if you're interested in being in the DFW area.

[@Carlzday]

i, very rarely used the femoral artery during normal procedures where an inquest wasn't performed, 90% of the time i used the subclavian artery for injection of the formalin solution, and theAxillo-Subclavian Vein for evacuation of the blood due to its larger diameter and proximity to the the aorta and vena cava-- in that manner, i was able to remove large clots that occurred within the heart, vena cava and &c. whilst embalming

[@arinavandam5172]

Here in the Netherlands they don't use this procedure standard. ....!! Only if the family asked it .

[@danclark1348]

How do morticians greet each day? Good mourning. Where do morticians go to eat? A die-ner. What's a favorite name for a morticians daughter? Die-anna. What do morticians like to read? Readers die-gest. What do you get when asking a morticians how to go somewhere? Die-rections. What do morticians use to write down their thoughts? A die-ary.

Embalming in the UK is only done if a family asks for it. I'd far rather see a deceased family member actually look like they've gone than a body that's been made to appear "asleep". That would creep me out.

[@drkevinsmithFRCPath]

embalmed dead people still look dead but they just have better colour such as pink in the cheeks and a proper skin tone. A body that isn't embalmed will have a horrible yellowish white skin tone and will often have a smell after a few days along with skin beginning to slip.

[@marksprinkle]

Nope. Heading to the tattoo shop right now for one right across my chest that reads "DO NOT EMBALM."

[@Carlzday]

it would be illegal in north america... all bodies that are to be seen during the wake by the public, must be embalmed -- the only time they are not embalmed is when the body goes straight to cremation or, if the body is in to much disrepair to enable a proper embalming procedure, in which case the body would be dbl bagged , a strong solution such as syncav , would be injected by way of hypodermic needles and/or cannulas , and be allowed to permeate the body by way of osmosis , the bag would be hermetically sealed and the casket closed to public ( for ex. if the body was in a fire and the arteries and veins aren't viable )

embalming is a very expensive process that only makes your funeral cost more than it should be. The bodys should be processed into compost instead of a tombstone they should get a tree. It would be way easier on your wallet and it would be better for the environment.

[@mikedood9718]

Donald Keating your opinion .. I don’t want to be a 🌲

[@jackieswan422]

Donald Keating, correcto

[@shannantango3801]

They do offer this way of disposition. It's called promessa. You are being cremated but instead your body is frozen then shaken to create the cremated remains. When the "usual" way of cremation is using with fire and intense heat. But lots of people want their bodies embalmed because it helps to physically see your loved one dead and even touch them for you to grieve. :)

[@cristinar6056]

We had my mother embalmed and it wasn’t that much of a cost difference.

[@crystalgaydos623]

I don't know Where you live. In California there is no charge for embalming. I think they may charge for other services that make up the difference.

[@jamesthorson3265]

They always seem to neglect telling about the first step, which is jamming a trocar into the abdominal cavity and sucking the guts out, then pumping in cavity chemical.

[@drewgates7953]

James Thorson the Trocar isn’t used to remove any of the of the organs,it is used to remove the gasses and fluids that have built up in the organs and then the cavity is injected with the fluid.

[@michellealfred4334]

It is used to remove gases in the body. I’ve seen it done.

[@Randy_Tippett]

I don't think that when i die, i will have myself embalmed. I think i will go to strait to creamation.

[@goldenglove4663]

Actually that is a good idea. Or have a natural burial.....embalming is a waste of money....cremation and burial or keeping your loved ones ashes.

[@jedediahbc]

I think that's best that is what I plan to do. Funerals is just a big scam to make money. I remember when I was a little boy about 55 years ago they would bring the desist back to their home and put them in their bed and cover them up to their chest and put them on display for the mores and everyone to come and visit. After a couple of days they would take the desist and bury them.

[@bigtom3422]

If they have a viewing or wake for you Then you'll have to be embalmed, Even if they are going to cremate you afterward

[@lordvoldemort5725]

Icsis1974 IKR. Because for me, I don’t want to be in a casket or something. I feel like when I die, that I am still alive spiritually and I am still in the casket just lying there unable to move and it becomes torture.

[@sit638]

do you remove internal organs?

[@mcguire604]

In short - No.

[@OSTARAEB4]

During an autopsy the organs are removed and examined with tissue samples if the death is an accident, homicide or suspicious. Many states require an autopsy. The man mentioned a viscera bag which can look like a garbage bag or a clear plastic bag the organs are placed back in the abdomen. In some cases, the organs can't fit back in and the body is stuffed with cotton and the funeral director will discreetly slip the viscera bag in prior to burial. In the event a family wants a full viewing, you don't want a viscera bag at the bottom of the casket.
