What Mortuary School Didn't Teach me | Restorative Art

[@Lotus-ox6is]

Reminds me how certain craniotomies are done. Using micro drills to create burr holes in skull. Great video and love the presentation.

[@EvieVargas]

Thank you so much🥺

[@user-bz7tn7gd8w]

Wow this was very useful. I've been in the industry for 3 years and I have yet to come across a decedent that needs this. I should practice this before I do.

[@EvieVargas]

I’m glad it was useful! My first two happened this year and I was unprepared. Wish I had done this sooner but glad to learn from my colleagues. 🤗

I was curious about when someone gets hit by a bullet in the head which can destroy most of the skull does the restorative specialist at a funeral use other types of materials to make the head look almost like nothing happened to the deceased person's skull?

[@terereynolds698]

When I was in college Restorative Arts was a requirement, questions were even on the state boards

[@EvieVargas]

RA is a requirement. Not until recently did they begin teaching the cranial reconstruction lab... its explained in the video.

[@jeremyjones2750]

It's very unfortunate that you had that type of "learn on the fly" experience. It sounds like you have yourself surrounded by caring professionals though, and you are a very smart woman no doubt. I appreciate your videos and the enthusiastic way in which they are presented to us! Keep up the good work!

[@EvieVargas]

After mortuary school we have a year internship under a licensed funeral director. Depending on the area you may not see certain hard cases such as the one I mentioned. Also there are a lot of seasoned directors that are unwilling to teach the new ones coming into the profession. I had a hard internship to say the least... I’m glad that I NOW have great people I can turn to without judgement. That is why I love teaching what I know because when I started I had no one to show me the way. Thank you for your comment I appreciate it! 🙂

U should do a collab with like ask a mortician, Kari Northy, little miss funeral, etc....would help others find out about your channel.

[@xoxogod567]

Can u give us a scary storytime lol being a mortician

[@AM-xe4iq]

Hi Evie. Your videos are so interesting. One of the things that deterred me from going to mortuary school is the work schedule. But I think the biggest thing is the retrieval of bodies and attending funerals all the time. Are those things you do on a regular basis?

[@MrGaryg20047]

Any new videos coming up soon?

[@EvieVargas]

Yes!! Working on it 🤗

[@OhISew2]

My dad had cranial reconstruction, he leaked :(

[@EvieVargas]

I’m so sorry about your Dad and for that experience 💔

[@Lotus-ox6is]

Was it CSF fluid he leaked? Did they use a drain post surgery? Sorry to hear about your dad. Not a good experience for him.

[@OhISew2]

@@Lotus-ox6is i'm not sure. he died as a result of blunt force trauma to the head, his skull was crushed and then he had surgery etc... it was a hard puzzle to put together. thanks.
