[@connorslack9358]

there are a quite few errors in this video, coming from a morticians son, someone who is actually in this industry. Usually the Medical Examiner (autopsy specialist) does not take the time to wash hair because during the procedure they also remove the brain, which requires cutting into the skull, after this is done it'd be very hard to wash your hair especially because they leave the job of reattaching the skull cap and brain (along with arranging the organs that all get tossed in the abdominal cavity) to the embalmer. Also taking belongings from the dead (like a bus pass or money) is very illegal and frowned upon if the deceased has living family members. Second you typically would never get embalmed and cremated, it's one or the other, for the main purpose of embalming is to preserve the body and keep it from rotting in the ground after burial, if the family wanted to view and cremate, a simple washing and bathing, packing of orpheus's and setting of features is taken place, before the viewing not a full embalming although it is highly encouraged, because it does look better. (it would be really expensive to cremate and embalm as well.) When the family does choose to cremate, they would never be cremated in a full casket!! they are NOT made for that and there would be a lot of bolts, screws and handles to pick out of the remains (which who would want to do that?) caskets are heavy too not to mention and a lot are made out of metal which isn't very flammable. Instead the body is placed in a cremation tray which is basically a piece of plywood with your body on it and a cardboard box over it to be ignited by the flame. The embalming process is primarily done through the carotid artery as well because that is the best artery to drain all the blood from which this video also forgets to mention. PLEASE CONTACT A FUNERAL HOME FOR ACCURATE INFORMATION!!!!

[@Loushineees]

^^^^^^^^^^^ THIS!!!! I’m a mortician’s daughter and we run a family owned funeral home. Honestly it kind of made me angry how this video depicted some aspects of the process (also when they called a casket a coffin 🙄). Also, sometimes the coroner puts the brain inside the abdomen and just leaves the scalp open. I walked in on my dad sewing up a woman’s skull stuffed with rags bc her brain wasn’t in there. I think that depends on the coroner that does the autopsy though. Anyway, this comment above is much better than the actual video. Please please PLEASE do NOT always take what you see on the internet for a fact. There are many funeral homes that treat your deceased loved ones with so much more respect and care than this video cares to admit.

[@NicoleoCrafts]

1. They do not use a saw for the first incision 2. They do not wash the body after an autopsy 3. Would NEVER steal from the deceased, everything is accounted for 4. Not all funeral homes have a freezer 5. At least in Canada it is mandatory to tell clients embalming is not necessary 6. Your whole embalming process is completely wrong, especially because you stated this person is an autopsy 7. Eyes don't usually need to be glued 8. Workplace harassment seems like a thing in your funeral home 9. Crematory operators cannot open caskets 10. Usually takes 3-4 hours for a cremation to take place From: a funeral director

[@mariabahrami8762]

Thank you for clarifying, just from watching ask a mortician I thought there were some things wrong. And the thing that annoyed me the most was the embalming process, thank you for letting me know I'm not the only one who wondered how they could pump the embalming fluid in after an autopsy 😂 why wouldn't they ask an embalmer if they were going to present how the body is prepared for viewing 😂 However I think that in USA you are not required to say that embalming isn't necessary, I just think that you can't lie about it if asked.

[@TruBlue357]

Thank You

[@saltnlightbro3991]

they didn’t mention the head being “opened” to examine the brain during autopsy, i have never heard of drying the eyes out, nor do most people get put into pampers, for certain cases they would use “plastics” which are like a plastic jogging suit... my 2 cent lol

Thank you so much for telling the truth Nicole. Embalming rules are the same in the US. It’s not a requirement.

As a hospice nurse who regularly interacts with those in the funeral service and at the medical examiners office, thank you for what you do. This video misrepresented the field and the work that you all do to help families when they are grieving a loss. I've had so many interactions with people in the field and have never come across someone who didn't have a profound respect for both the deceased and the families that they work with. Every field has a few bad apples, but this is definitely never been my experience over many years as a hospice nurse.

I’ve worked for a funeral home for 4 years now from pickup, assisting in the embalming process, all the way up to the end for services and burial. Some of this information is not accurate: 1. There are no “freezers”. The body is cold from refrigeration, but not frozen. 2. After an autopsy, the internal organs are not “repositioned,” but simply placed in a trash bag, then laid in the chest cavity before sowing up. 3. They completely left out the makeup part of preparation for a viewing after embalming and dressing. 4. Not every funeral home uses diapers. And lastly, 5. Caskets are reused if they are rental caskets.

When my sister died last Oct 2021, after 3 days of viewing she was cremated. The crematorium did not include the casket and asked us what to do on the casket. We just gave it to the Funeral Home. The body was put to the chamber including her dying clothes. After less than 2 hours, there are some bones not totally turned to ash. They were put in a grinder. The whole process was viewed by the family, thus some members don't want to be cremated when they die due to "painful" process. Told them that dead person will no longer feel the pain.

Makes me glad I live in Sweden, where closed-coffin funerals are the default and you don't have all that embalming stuff. I never got what's the deal with embalming the dead if you aren't going to keep the mummies around forever to be put on display like Lenin, and open casket funerals just seemed needlessly ghoulish to me. I want to remember my loved ones as they were when they were alive, I don't want the last image I ever get to see of a loved one to be of their cold dead corpse.

[@jamesbarnes5769]

Open coffin funerals are also about closure. Its definitely hard to see a loved one in there (even harder if you grab their hand and find it stiff and cold as ice) but the overwhelming sadness of the moment can help with the long term for some people.

[@blondbraid7986]

@@jamesbarnes5769 Maybe for some, I know other people for whom such a moment would only make it all harder to handle. But it's not like closed casket funerals are sterile and emotion-free affairs, there's a portrait of the dead person and people are still crying and taking in the emotions and talking about their memories of them. When physically seeing and touching the deceased isn't an expected part of your culture, the vast majority of people in it simply don't feel they need to do that specific thing to process their emotions.

@@blondbraid7986 Oh definitely. Been to both kinds and either way tears are shed for sure. Different cultures have different ways to deal with the grief and service. Grandmother in law passed recently and her husband fell to the ground in tears once he saw her. That might sound terrible (and it was) but it did make the rest of the service easier with such an intince moment of emotion already had. Typically in a open casket funeral the family/close friends comes in 30min prior to the public so they may grieve in peace so as to better receive the visitors paying there respect. Again both types are fine but our family has always practiced open casket typical of most Southerners in America.

Bridges and Cameron went straight to get him immediately, in the middle of the night. Once i got there the next morning, he was already embalmed. None of his organs were removed. I asked.

One company that owns 4 or 5 funeral homes in Virginia, recently had a meeting where everyone that had worked there more than 10 years was immediately laid off. They could re-apply for their old jobs at the starting salary. Another had an employee who faked having cancer and ran off with the funds that people donated to help.with his medical expenses. Then another owner of two funeral homes/cremation services raided the pre-need funds (funerals paid for in advance) and fled the state. Fortunately, he was caught but got off with a light sentence.

I worked in a funeral directors for 18 months and it would be very difficult for someone to take something from a wallet as a proper trail is started from the very moment the body is collected, each time the body is moved the things are checked and logged so if anything went missing it would be obvious. Sometimes the family are there when the body is brought into care and the funeral director will check pockets and jewellery and give it straight back to the family so there is no finger pointing later on. Also the part where the man jumps out of the coffin, if anybody did do this they would not be in the business very long as working in the industry is not a joking matter and requires upmost respect and care for the deceased and their families.

I am a licensed mortician. I always appreciate an informational video on the mortuary/funeral industry. However I wanted to point out some corrections in case you guys see this.. In the beginning of the video it shows that the body gets a thoracic and abdominal autopsy. After this the embalme would not be able to use the femoral artery to embalm the whole body because the arteries in the torso would all have been taken out... Also they wouldn't be able to use a trocar since the organs had been removed... so there also wouldn't be any suction to aspirate.. and would have been placed in a bag... the embalmer would instead put cavity fluid into the viscera bag to treat it. Also I have never seen or heard of an autopsy technician either a) cleaning the decedent off at the end of the autopsy or b) shampoo their hair???
