Interviewing people with ADHD, strippers, people with body modifications, 911 emergency station people (don’t remember what that job is called sorry) and so on and so forth. It’s great and gives you a good understanding of their perspective

My mother passed away at home a couple days ago and the morticians that came in to collect her body were very nice and professional. There was a man and woman, each dressed in a suit and tie, all in black. They showed up within 90 minutes, which gave us time to dress her and prepare her for departure. Once they arrived, they asked some simple questions and then began their process. They gave us a few minutes to say our goodbyes before beginning. They covered her in clear wrapping, and then a thicker black leather cloth with handles to carry her down the stairs to the gurney. They then take her to their vehicle, thankfully at night so no one else could see. I appreciated their professionalism and thanked them for their help and they went on their way. It was odd seeing them stay professional, but as noted in the video, they've done this hundreds of times, so I understand how this is just doing their job. It seems like a tough job but we need someone to do it, so I appreciate that there are people out their who can. Thank you for this video, and thank you to all the morticians for the services they provide. My mother is free from pain and in a better place now.

Looking at the body it felt like she was a very cool and nice grandma. Polished nails, a cute tribal tatto on her left hand. I felt pity for her as she died a painful death of some liver problem. But thankfull that she chose to donate her body for education. From the next day we started dissection. Her body was assigned to my group and we dissected her to the bone and her last tissue.

Everyone: Talking about morticians and their sacrifices Me: Notices nobody is talking about the traumatized train conductors

[@madprophet6891]

In my experience living in a very train-heavy area, conductors get numbed to the carnage pretty quickly. From what I've been told by the ones I've talked to, after your first time seeing someone get splattered, it's no longer a matter of "HOLY SHIT" but "aww damn it, that's gonna throw off my schedule." You gotta understand that oftentimes trains are moving very quickly or have an unimaginable fuckton of momentum from the sheer weight of what they're carrying, so if a conductor hits the emergency brakes the moment they see someone or something get in front of them, the train might not stop for another mile or longer. In this way, it alleviates much of the guilt or feeling of responsibility that someone in a smaller vehicle might have in these scenarios--there was absolutely nothing they could do, the conductor's only responsibility is to report the incident and sit still until the police and the cleanup crew arrive to do their jobs. I've also heard that some conductors like to place bets on how many suicides there will be in a week, but my feeble brain doesn't want to comprehend the scale of that if it's true.

[@AsternStarling]

I heard some seasoned train conductors are actually happy when they run someone over because they get several months of paid leave

I can't recall but I believe they tell you that "if you decide to have a career here, you will have this happen at least once. It's not an if, but when type of situation."

If you look at war torn countries with many extremist organizations such as Yemen, Afghanistan, Syria, Somalia, etc. It is very normal to see just people being massacred for no reason. There could be a child's body laying in the street, or someone with their head chopped off sitting against a wall, maybe some pieces of brain and some legs in the street. People get used to it, even the children. The children just walk past these dead people like it's nothing, like walking past a garbage bag or something. For us, it's would unimaginable to watch a video of someone getting their brains blown out point blank, or a kid getting killed. But for people who have to live through these conditions, it's normal, and it's sad to see, but nonetheless intresting to see how the human brain copes with such horrors.

[@memecita]

Okay this is a bit eerie and this didn't happen in Germany but can confirm the train thing. I used to work at a gas station with a train track going right by it. From wall of the building only few funny meters to the railway and since there was no road (to cross the tracks) there was no gate or fence or anything. One sunny day a customer comes in all excited, tells me to go have a look. Since we work alone and this might be a ruse and there was no-one else around, I ask what's up. This grown man (guessing late 30s or up) is smiling from ear to ear when he tells me there's a bunch of firemen at the tracks and he just saw one of them pick up a head, a severed human head, and the way he waved and described it I can tell it was also handled like holding a lantern before put into a bag. At this point my curiosity gets the best of me, I lock the till so if it is a ploy to mug us at least corporate can't blame me, and join the man at the door and peek at the tracks. Sure enough, there were firemen but I missed the head or anything else gore worthy, if I hadn't know better it just looked like they were picking up trash. This guy was still acting like a kid in a candy shop, sure I get it must be exciting to see something so unusual. He said few years ago during summer vacation his son and his friend listened to the police radio and once the announcement came they raced their bikes to the tracks to see the body before it was cleaned up and they were so nauseated by the experience that they never did it again. He didn't remember what year it happened and I looked him dead in the eye and casually said "Too bad, it might've been my father. He killed himself the same way few years ago and I can tell you, it's a damn mess and there won't be a body to say goodbye to. The only way they identified him was because his phone survived." His face just sunk and he left in silence. I don't know if it was mean or wrong thing to do but dammit it felt good. Later that night I called my step-mom and asked where exactly did my dad die. So turns out, for the past 6 months I had worked maybe meters away from that spot and didn't have a clue. When I heard about the incident years ago I imagined a completely different part of the town for some reason. Asked my co-workers if many people commit suicide there and supposedly it's a popular spot since you can hide behind the corner of the building so whoever is operating the train has zero chance to slow down until it's too late. My father died at 41 years old so that's another parallel fact with the case in the video, anyways thanks for coming to my TED talk and obligatory sorry for my English.

[@2dcrazy80]

I believe it was a good thing to put a whole different perspective in the guy's head. I dated a guy that had a concussion when he was a kid and (I cant remember why) they had a picture of the back of his head and people would be entertained by a traumatic thing that happened to him. He burned the picture and hardly mention it to anyone. Some people really get fascinated too much about scenes of death that they don't think what that person's life was.

As a Hospital Security Officer, I had to count each body in the morgue, and helped the individuals who’d died & were being picked up by individuals like the person being interviewed (but in the US)...I’d assist in getting the body off of the hospital bed, and into a body bag/onto the gurney. The worst thing I ever had to do, was help a God-Mother & a Sister of a mother who had a full-to-term still-born (from what I understood)....I had to monitor them take foot/hand prints of the child’s corpse. I ended up offering to help because they were so emotional. The child was not in the actual morgue, but more of an office with a small Biopsy lab of sorts connected to it. The infant was in what I can only describe (and probably was) a small beer fridge/hotel/college mini-fridge. After gloving up, I gently pulled the child out, helped them take out the child, and held the baby as they mixed the white, clay-like mix they used for making the hand/feet impressions. The God Mother asked to hold the child. I allowed her to...it was a little girl, and something strange/notable was her little head. She had a deep dent in her head-where her skull was still soft cartilage, and wasn’t fully formed into bone...I am guessing this was due to stress of the birth, but more because of the lack of life/brain activity. I remember looking at her and thinking how beautiful of a child she was, and it made my heart ache to think what it’d be like to be in any of this childs loved one’s shoes. In an attempt to cheer up the two women with me, I talked about the child as if she were still alive...mentioned her attributes, asked who she looked like more, and mentioned how long her little fingers were. It seemed to be a cathartic move for all of us, because I actually got a little laughter out of them. One of the chilling things that happened prior to me putting her back into the fridge, was hearing the Aunt of the child say, “Im sorry that I didnt get to know you, but if God had to take you, I’m glad he took you now before I absolutely fell in love with you growing, and getting to know your little personality...I can’t wait to get to know you in Heaven; I know I’ll see you there. Watch after us until then.” With that, I helped bag her back up, and put her into the fridge. Without thinking, I lunged forward, and hugged them both real tight, one at a time, and told them how sorry I was. Then we all started crying, and hugged eachother as a huddled group and continued to hold eachother for a few moments. They thanked me, we left the lab, and we parted ways soon after I got them back to the Mother/Baby unit. It was such a heartbreaking moment...but I was glad I was there to experience it. It was such a human moment. 3 strangers, sharing a very real moment. I couldve been them, and they couldve been me...but either way, all three of us came together in love and support for a grieving mother & a precious child, that never got a chance to...even breath. It was so grim, yet so beautiful...very hard to explain.

Damn morticians out here getting exodias, left arm, right arm, left leg, right leg, and head. SUMMON THE FORBIDDEN ONE

[@Razr0109]

I was just getting interested In being a mortician and this information seems pretty accurate to what I heard. Ofc there is some education required and schooling but yeah. You go pick up the bodies (keep in mind bodies come in various sizes and could be difficult, thus needing another person). You'd take them back and wait for the clearance to do your job because otherwise it's illegal and considered mutilation. You'd clean the body(actions this person once did every single day, something so personal). Massage them and use the chemicals then finish them up for preparation. However I'm upset that the topic of talking to the family was never bright up (maybe it will be in part 2?) Because apparently talking with the family for preparations and offering outlets and such is a big part (even attending the funeral). I played a game about a mortician and the emails were interesting. I never thought about the extent of different ecosystem friendly funerals there are and how sometimes families and the person who died have different funeral wishes. One case in the game was when a very young person killed himself and wanted a eco safe funeral but the family wanted a "normal" funeral, and because he didn't have any witness or offical proof to his wish the family got to decided how his funeral would be. The game also tslked on other very intereting topics such as the proccess of allowing the dead person to spend a few days with the family in their home (in the cold of course) to spend final momments with them. It claimed that for some people this helps the greiving proccess to spend time with them and watch as the corpse decays. Death is very interesting, we all face it, we all challenge it, but none of us beat it. The dead are such a passionate side of life to me. You see a vessel that someone used to take care of and live in. A body that's had it's own history that none of us know. A mortician has the job to prep the person for their final viewing, their final time with family.

[@ZeranZeran]

I was by my grandpas side when he died, and it was very sad and scary, but at the same time a relief because I know he was free from his pain. It is very surreal to see the life leave a body. Someone you love so much, once their soul is gone, the body doesn't look like them. Not the same. it's weird. Sometimes I feel like it was something I shouldn't have seen, but sometimes I feel lucky in a strange way.. I witnessed it and got to know exactly what happened. He was surrounded by family that loved him.

I've only seen a dead body once, it was during a field trip in my last year of highschool, our class was for people who wanted to enter the medical field and the teacher always said that that trip would be the way to know if we really wanted to stay in the path of a medical career. We went to a university where they had a room where they stored the bodies, there were 4 students who separeted us into 4 groups of around 7 people. The bodies were from homeless people who were never claimed. It didn't have a leg and the eyes dried up and sunk into the skull. The skin was hard, like, really hard, like a leather sandal and it had tattoos that looked streched but it clearly was the name of a woman. Another tattoo was the name of a town in mexico, and a figure that i don't really know what it was. It was obviously a living person before with it's own story, but with the whole ambient it really didn't hit me. I could only think of it as a body and it was weirdly calm all around the room. Now the only one home who hasn't seen a body (outside of a funeral) are my brother and my mom, my father used to be a firefighter so he has told us plenty stories.

I’m also a mortician and i’ve felt a lot of what he’s saying. It’s nice to get a look into a German mortician’s work as an American, though. I remember my more existential experience was when i picked up a baby from a hospital for the first time. I went there sort of expecting to feel really morose and depressed, but when i got there and actually held it in my hands, it was one of the most calm moments of my life. Maybe i was a little sad to see an infant that didn’t live to grow up, sure, but i felt more at ease than anything. I’m not really sure why, either. I can only gather that i felt that way because i knew i’d be treating it with care and respect, and that the last hands to hold it would be tender and gentle and loving. I would add onto this guy’s story that funeral work isn’t all just train accidents and gruesome reassembly. There are a lot of really important and rewarding moments in this line of work that you just can’t get anywhere else.
