[@theresalaux5655]

Wow, I thoroughly enjoyed this! I learn so much from you! Thank you Kari!

[@KaritheMortician]

Glad it was helpful!

[@evecyn]

I loved this Kari. It must be tough to learn the funeral elements and the whole embalming units as well. I have my first two units behind me and I’m studying hard for my next unit. I admire yourself and these guys. It’s sounds tough. More of these please the are really fun and informative. You’re awesome xx

[@KaritheMortician]

Thanks so much!!

[@ldswife5339]

This was run very well and extremely organized. Great video.

[@KaritheMortician]

Thank you very much!

[@allenorganist2011]

This video was different and as always (informative) hope you do more of these. Thanks Kari

[@KaritheMortician]

More to come!

[@georgemcdowell8302]

I took the state & nat'l Boards over 40 yrs ago & remember most. I remember taking both exams on the same day-1 day after taking the finals. I also remember being in a graduating class of 17 & being too tired to go to the ceremony. There was over 100 students the 1st day of instruction 2 yrs prior. I remember making hundreds of flash cards while in school since everything involved memorization. I threw them in the trash 10 yrs ago. I passed the Boards after the 1st try. Microbiology & Pathology were huge hurdles for me. I've never thought there are so many out there whom are curious. A lot has changed but a lot is still the same.

[@KaritheMortician]

Yes I did both in the same day also. Definitely a lot has changed!

[@sg2823]

Wow! Keri, I learned a lot from this challenge! I like this segment!

[@KaritheMortician]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@cynthx]

I'm looking to start next year at Cypress College, and this was awesome for me. I got a lot of them right just from being extremely interested and guessing on what would make the most sense. If you ever quiz viewers, I volunteer!!

[@KaritheMortician]

Awesome!

[@elizabethtaylor6622]

That was awesome I got most of the answers right. I worked at the airport dealt with HR and body parts as well for example bones skin and heart and skulls..I was always excite about the guys would bring a few times a week..he called me smiley because I was always smiling when I saw him..it was so cool and I got to learn a lot about it..I'm looking forward to seeing more of the games..thank you Elizabeth Taylor

[@KaritheMortician]

That is a really unique experience you had working there!

[@elizabethtaylor6622]

I really enjoyed it Kari..if I could do it all over again I would in a heart beat..the other thing I wanted you to know at the funeral home that my nana was at ..I talked with the director she said they follow the CDC guidelines and they were at a loss whether or not if the body is contagious or not so I did want to let you know..thank you love for sharing life experiences with us I have learned so much from you..keep doing it..you have a wonderful blessed day love..looking for more videos and your new game show.you know what's funny I haven't went to school for that and I was amazed how many questions I got right..I guess I'm a junkie for this kind of stuff..love Elizabeth Taylor..

[@msdanette]

That was fun! I've missed my calling. I'm fascinated by death and the dying process. I'm currently an M.A., but unfortunately became disabled and wasn't able to further my career. But I love your channel!!

[@sandyvanperson6637]

I too could not further my Nursing career. So,I'm in agreement with you! Well said.

[@KaritheMortician]

:)

[@KaritheMortician]

Thanks so much!

[@ВикторЛюбезный-ч2ы]

Thank you for this game, but more for idea and format. Have thoughts to try to make a game like this in some other stuff.

[@KaritheMortician]

Like other careers?

[@annphillippsen1990]

I worked in hospice, the desk side, until I became ill. It turns out my vocal cords died. Now I have a new voice. I just found this channel..I love it! Missed my calling as well. I got most the answer correct exactly. I find it so fascinating to give a family peace of mind & respect towards such a hard time.

[@emilie6781]

Lug, arm, bar,tip there is a synonym for Lug I believe and in the new textbooks is also referred to as ear

[@KaritheMortician]

Thanks!

[@sandyvanperson6637]

Laughing, Mrs Kari! I've been answering(guessing)along with the students.

[@KaritheMortician]

Nice!

[@BeeApple-sr3db]

Being a Funeral Director/ Embamer is Awesome helping families in their time of need. I always do want the family wants and not to rip them off.

[@KaritheMortician]

thanks!

[@walterfink9782]

Okay, I'll bite. I'm dying to find out! What a grave thought.

[@KaritheMortician]

:)

[@pattymccallum6924]

That was fun. I knew a lot of the answers!

[@KaritheMortician]

Excellent!

[@utahmassage]

Fun game, I got most of these questions and I have no desire to be an undertaker. Kari, you are so nice to do all these videos with younger people with aspirations to become undertakers. Great video!

[@michellehenry669]

That’s neat video. Very interesting. Using a heated spatula question was interesting. Never would have thought.

[@KaritheMortician]

Thank you!

[@michellehenry669]

Kari the Mortician You’re Welcome

[@janeray1273]

I really like this game format. It is informative and educational. Although I am not in school yet, I did get 4 correct answers!! I probably learned those things from you, Kari!! ❤️

[@KaritheMortician]

Great job!

[@terryroberts7647]

HI KARI ✋ AS ALWAYS I ENJOY YOUR VIDEOS THANKS !!! YOU & YOUR FAMILY HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND ❤

[@KaritheMortician]

Thank you so much!!

[@nancyboyd6377]

Oh goodness I only got 4 right 😯 I thought I remembered more thing's from your videos. I think the deceased are safe if I'm not around to look after them. Hope you are well Kari and your family. Lot's of love from Nancy in Scotland x

[@KaritheMortician]

I think a lot of the stuff I have never covered really because it is basic terms.

[@eranrichard3385]

I hope you do this again. I would love to join in

[@KaritheMortician]

EVentually I will!

[@tiffanymims8691]

There are 4 military discharges: Honorable, General with Honorable Conditions, General with Less than Honorable Conditions, and the Dishonorable Discharge.

[@juliefreeman4993]

I’m learning so much from you, very interesting

[@KaritheMortician]

Awesome, thank you!

[@joemelvyn2588]

You have it going on ! Kari

[@KaritheMortician]

Thanks Joe!

[@LouiseMitchelle]

Isn’t it wonderful when there are 2 correct answers?! 😂 as far as question about the promissory nite, the executor (signer) is both the maker and the payee of the note.

[@Wombat1420]

This was so much fun!

[@KaritheMortician]

Thanks!

[@sallyzapata4216]

I wish you would have more videos like this. I need to take my Funeral Directing exam and I'm struggling after Covid.

[@KaritheMortician]

I will do another one

[@kylienicole8391]

So happy to be learning and I'm not even in mortuary college yet! I guess my previous field of study helps (I used to be a medical assistant, so I have medical terminology, anatomy, and law/ethics knowledge).

[@KaritheMortician]

Yes that definitely will help with terms!

[@cathycoe9254]

This is really a cool video. Very informative.

[@KaritheMortician]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ButterfliedCaution]

You gotta do this with Viewers. 🙂😊

[@ButterfliedCaution]

Patreon

[@imahorseygal1]

Yes! Kari should do it for viewers and could base the questions on information she's educated us with in her videos! Maybe a coffee mug for a prize?

[@tonyallewellyn7304]

Felicity S .. 👌🏻 I agree.. great idea including a mug for prize 🥇💕🙋🏻‍♀️

[@KaritheMortician]

Very true!

[@KaritheMortician]

Yes!

[@danlindberg4849]

Brings back memories!

[@KaritheMortician]

:)

[@ashestoglory2319]

Love this!

[@KaritheMortician]

Thanks!!

[@ButterfliedCaution]

I LOVE THIS

[@KaritheMortician]

Thanks!

[@Mindovermatter1987]

This was fun!! I got most of the answers right.. I'm considering going back to school to be a Mortician..

[@KaritheMortician]

Awesome!!

[@danalaw7502]

Good job Ricky, writing everything down

[@KaritheMortician]

I was glad he did!

[@peggyschram917]

I got 5 right!!!! As a retired realtor not bad!haha!

[@KaritheMortician]

Nice work!

[@wolfievagabond]

I got all right except the air exchange question and I have had no formal training. Hah hah!

[@KaritheMortician]

Very cool!

[@megaladonrockband4855]

I am learning a lot and I am not in mortuary school!

[@KaritheMortician]

Awesome!

[@danawildman8766]

Great video! 😊

[@KaritheMortician]

Thanks! 😊

[@elenamordwinkin3575]

I love this u need to do this more often

[@maxwellbempah5605]

Am Maxwell from Ghana 🇬🇭 and am interested working as mortician, let me know the process that I can pass though before I can become mortician, hope to hear from you very soon.

[@msjuju1109]

Uummmm.... I got 13 right. 🤯 I’ve never studied. I surprise myself sometimes.

[@KaritheMortician]

Awesome!

[@justinrowell4954]

Can you plz do a video of your funeral home tour

[@KaritheMortician]

I do have one...a day in the life of Kari. I will have more tours to come though!

[@kimsims880]

I want to play!! I’m preparing for my boards now ❤️❤️❤️

[@willkiser3926]

Hi beautiful.

[@Zzzsleepzzz]

Brittany is just guessing...

[@KaritheMortician]

:)

[@amyjwebb7937]

I am SO nervous about the NBE...

[@KaritheMortician]

You will do great!!

[@Decgyrrl]

That was interesting. Some of the answers, I even got correct; like the general questions. When u got into the nitty gritty, I think I got 1 or 2 correct. I know I got farunkle correct. But I don't plan to b a mortician. I'm too skittish, but I experienced some of the nxt of kin stuff & thatz how I knew the answers.

[@KaritheMortician]

Always good to know things though!

[@vickyvkusnyatina6126]

God these girls!!! They put up their damn notecards to fucking answer and then make her re read everything all over again!!!! Let the poor guy speak, I bet he knows everything but the damn girls are just making fools of themselves.... These are not hard questions, or maybe LISTEN AND YOU WON'T HAVE TO HAVE HER REPEAT!!!!!

[@gregorykacsandy5005]

Multiple guess ! Lol .😂

[@saramustelier6326]

Is there a mortician shortage in the US ? Asking for a friend lol, I'm a early retired RN.

[@KaritheMortician]

There is a shortage of good people who go into the business and stay in the business. It is a weird time in the business with the old and new generations and they don't mix well sometimes.

[@549BR]

Unless my math is incorrect, 60% of 9 would be 5.4, rounded off, leaves the answer 5, not 6. Please correct me if I'm wrong for the first question.

[@KaritheMortician]

You have to round up to cover that .4

[@sarahdumas2140]

I thought you said Bronchial but you said Furuncle.

[@sarahdumas2140]

I'm really doing bad at this.

[@zingwilder9989]

Hmmm.

[@jalenwhite2520]

Wait so I did the math for the first question and got 5.4 which would round up to 5. Meaning 5 out the 9 would have to agree in cremation, but what do I know lol I was really into it.

[@pvillelde]

5.4 rounds down. .5 and up rounds up.

[@jalenwhite2520]

Laurie so wouldn’t 5.4 round to 5

[@pvillelde]

@@jalenwhite2520 sorry! I re-read your statement. Yes. You had round up. I think of it as rounding 'down' to 5. Since it's 5.4, and you need 60%, you get 6 kids out of 9 to cover the .4%

[@pvillelde]

I dont know if I'm making sense.

[@jalenwhite2520]

Laurie yeah we just need to say it rounds to such and such and not up or down bc it is confusing lol. So wouldn’t they need 5 out of 9 to agree and not 6 bc 5.4 rounds to 5?

[@sandyvanperson6637]

Blood pulling

[@KaritheMortician]

:)

[@londonkyguy]

Lol do you seriously get Diseased bodies with Lice.

[@KaritheMortician]

Yes we do!

[@edhartman5466]

I'M NOT REAL IMPRESSED WITH THESE STUDENTS. IT'S LIKE YOU WERE ASKING QUESTIONS OUT OF A DIFFERENT TEXT BOOK. IF ADRIANNA ASKED YOU TO REPEAT THE QUESTION,OR ANSWER ONCE MORE I WAS GOING TO SCREAM! I've SEEN IN YOUR OTHER VIDEOS OTHER COMMENTS THAT YOU SHOULD TEACH. GIVE THIS SOME THOUGHT. OUR FUTURE NEEDS YOU!

[@KaritheMortician]

A verbal test is quite hard to do

[@lisap3344]

Give them a break they are learning 🧐
