Elizabeth Short, aka the Black Dahlia. Strangled, drained of blood, and surgically severed in half in 1947. I’d love your take on that case
Please Caitlin? Please??!!
YES I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THAT
Please do this !
YUS
Yes!!!
Man, I hate when my corpses have dermal collapse and desiccation #justgirlythings #relatable
alyssa waisner
Ikr??? It’s so annoying...
girl problems
Forget that. The problems with solidified joints, acres of adipose tissue, and fungal infection are much, much worse...especially if you are trying to dissect out the deep and superfical palmar arches of the hand, or if the tendons of the ankle have turned to biltong before you can visualize the tarsal tunnel. Don't get me started on the shock it elicits when a careless lab tech has not properly secured the top of the cranium back in place after removing the brain, and somebody inadvertently bumps the head, sending the top of the calvaria crashing to the floor with the sound of several empty coconut shells knocking together.... these are REAL cadaver problems ;-)

#annoyingthings 🙄✨💅🏽
I couldn't do your job, bc I can't handle dead babies /children. Good on you and others who can separate yourself from the pain of it. What a beautiful baby... I cannot imagine the pain of losing a child. I would surely die from heartbreak.
Yeah, I nearly did. There's no words 😥
@@jackiebrown7229 I'm so sorry.
@@haleydoe2279 thank you. It was a long time ago now. He would have been 20 on June 23. But the pain never leaves. You learn to live with it. 🙂
The smells would get me.
Cobb Knobbler people aren’t as used to death as they were back then, mortality rate is lower for children and it’s unusual for one to die in a family. Don’t be such a heartless prick
I checked, and apparently Rosalia died exactly a week before her second birthday. I'm not a mother, but I have baby cousins- to imagine them dying so young is just absolutely heartbreaking. Rest in peace, Rosie.
Rosalia has always intrigued and saddened me greatly. Such a sad life and one that was all too common at the time to end so short. Its hard to watch any of these with kids but I'm so fascinated by the topic. There is also a Inuit baby that is well preserved and looking into its eyeless face is so heartbreaking.
I agree its heartbreaking
Is the Inuit baby you mention the one that was on the cover of National Geographic many years ago? Maybe it's been featured elsewhere in the meantime, butt hat's where I saw it, and yes, it is heartbreaking. The child looks as if it could look at you and coo.
@Aiswarya Venugopal you have to understand their belief system. That was the only way for the mother and child to be together in the afterlife. Yes, I think the child should have been killed first, but death is death, and one can only hope the weight of the soil suffocated it quickly.
As for killing it ahead of time, there was no real way to do that quickly and effectively back then, so it would have had to have its neck broken, or be smothered, or something else where there is still awareness for awhile as they die, so why would that be any better?
Edited to add... aside from bashing its head in, that is, and there may have been a reason that, in their belief system, that would also have been unacceptable.
I just Googled the Inuit baby... He is so cute, but of course it is very upsetting to know that he was likely buried alive with his mother, after her death, as a kindness, because starvation would be longer and more painful.
Stay safe,
Win Xx
@peacenow42 newborns can pass in like 2 days but even that wouldve been excruciating for a baby
She's so beautiful. The way she was preserved was perfect I can't believe how lively she looks for a corpse.
When I was about 8yo, my family took a trip to Sicily. My parents knew I was fascinated with Egyptian mummies, and so thinking they were doing me a great favor, they told me we were going to "a museum."
It was the capuchin catacombs.
After the shock & trauma faded, gratitude set in; it truly is one of the most remarkable, unique places to visit on Earth! Now, as an adult, going back is a one of the top spots on my personal bucket list.
(Still, I wouldn't recommend taking your young children there. Especially without a prior warning.)
Oh my word....she and my niece are absolute spitting mirror images of each other. Too creepy. But neat I suppose too....in a way.
LonelyDinoDude wtf are you talking about?
MrBgreen88 I was replying to someone else and ig it went under someone else’s comment, I’m sorry
Here's a creepy tale for you... I googled my own name under images just to see what pictures people were rudely posting with no warning and I came across a police sketch of a Jane Doe who looked JUST LIKE ME at age forty seven BUT the body had been found and sketch made the year I was born!!! No one ever stepped forward to identify her or claim her remains. I wondered... Would they let ME claim her and buy her a proper burial lot but I'm sure she's long since been lost in an unmarked pauper's grave. So sad and SOOOO FREAKING CREEPY. My skin still crawls. Her hair was same color, same length and EXACT SAME way I wear my hair up in a band every day and it was CERTAINLY my face, my height and weight and age. WHO WAS SHE?????? And WHY WHY WHY did her picture appear under a search of just my NAME!!?
@@MisplacedPixie well, obviously she's calling you to get hypnotgerapy to go back into your past lives and solve her case. Let us know how that goes
@@MinatheRaichu LOL my particular comment appears to have been too controversial as it is no longer showing. Gotta love those freedoms
I think it's kind of beautiful that she's so famous now, because her father had her embalmed to preserve her out of their and it's kinda like she's still alive in peoples minds.
watching this broke my heart. the loss of a child is such a painful thing and wanting to keep them with you in any form is understandable. i hope this gave her father some peace
sorsaria Yeah, me too.
Same. Her poor dad was probably heartbroken.
I had the pleasure to "meet" little Rosalia a couple years ago, as the Catacombes Dei Cappuccini was on my bucket list (no pun intended). Lauren and I made our way through the back streets of Palermo, enjoying many diversions along the way. To her credit, she made it as far into the underground as the first intersection, when she said: "I've gotta get outta here". It wasn't so much the high hanging mummies on the walls, but rather the stacks of windowed caskets below them lining the corridors. I was on my own to peruse the well kept hallways of this incredible place. I urge anyone to add this to your must visit list.
did the museum smell?
@@goopgab Hi,
No; actually the catacombs are very well kept. Definitely not the dark and dusty caverns one might see in a horror movie.
Ya know what? I might do that for real. I dreamed of being an archeologist when I was young and it's time I get a little rid of my fear of dead bodies.
@@yunamchill9169 Hello Yuna, I think you might actually find a visit liberating. I spent a good bit of time there, and I found the longer I visited, the less I thought of them as dead bodies, and more as people. To stand before someone who lived in the 1600's, I felt an authenticity I've known nowhere else. Should you get to the Catacombes, do share your experience here. I'd love to hear what you think.
@@daveh9521 Will definitely do. Now we have to wait when they open again. I hope it's not too long in the future.
Sophia: LET ME TELL YOU A STORY!! PICTURE IT! SICILY! DECEMBER 1920
Marcus Zyker That little girl in the casket was me! Lol 😆 love golden girls
Amberielle T me too
Amberielle T Dorothy: MAAA!!
Lmaoo! Love the Golden Girls!!! My dad is from Sicily. I love when she says those stories. I still watch the show on TV Land, and Logo channel! 😁😁💜
Shady Pines, Ma!
I'm going to mortuary school and you've been such a huge inspiration for me :)
Katelyn Ellingson me too!!!
If only I were 28 instead of 58. This would be the career path for me. This or an anthropologist.
I wanna go to a good mortuary school too alas I am stuck in a developing country that has few reliable morticians.
Katelyn Ellingson i hope you don't mind me asking, but why do you want to be a mortician? :)
Tamara Sorbo oh I don't mind at all. :) Death has always intrigued me ever since i was a child and I really want to be able to help familys in one of their hardest times of life. it's not easy and I like a challenge. people always get grossed out when I say I'm going to school to be a mortician but I always tell them that someone has to do it! most people are uncomfortable with it, but it's really not as odd as people make it out to be :)
please do what really happened to Walt Disney's body
Many years ago I heard some rumours that his body had been frozen etc. but that is not true. In fact, he was cremated right after he had died of lung cancer. No sensation there.
3katrin3 The rumors started in the early 70's when Bob Nelson (Cryonics society of California) told the LA times that Disney had wanted to be frozen. Folks apparently latched onto that line and made the assumption. Side note: Nelson's own life/career story is really interesting.
I've been to his grave site at Forest Lawn, but of course you can't tell anything about the body from looking at the plot. But I think the whole freezing thing was just a rumor.
Shari Welch I bet seeing the grave site was neat though!
Jack Jack Pie Face He was cremated
So you work as a mortician, you are a TH-camr, podcaster, and have a salon...when do you have time for it all?
Apparently she doesn't sleep. As the old saying goes; you can sleep when you're dead.
And she is an author
I dont think she works as a mortician anymore..I thought she said that in another video of hers but I could be wrong...
I don't believe she's a practicing mortician anymore. I think she owns a funeral service though
Watch a day in her life video
That room full of corpses looks so friendly and nice! I love all their facial expressions and I'm glad they have such fun company in death.
Alternative Rosalia theory? She mastered the lifestyle of the desert frog that desicates itself and hibernates without a heartbeat to wait out the drought years. Next time rain gets down to the catacombs, she'll wake up.
The iconic Keith Richards please. How does his corpse walk and play guitar???
Omg!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂
Lmaoooooo stop 😩
They shucked him of his organs and have a puppeteer shove their arm up his ass and use him like a puppet. His face has been rigged with animatronics for his facial expressions and they use a voice actor to mimic his voice.
AHAHA
"We follow eachother on Twitter---haaaaaiii!!!"
Rosalia’s story made me cry, because she was just a baby! 😭😭😭😭
Your channel for me is an escape, I have really bad anxiety about life in general but this just relaxes me, because you’re so transparent, it’s death and it’s coming and we can’t do anything about that and that’s oddly, comforting? I mean it could also be your intellect and your voice who knows, but I love your channel thanks for opening conversations! 💜
GABJAB also, death doesn’t have to be bad (: it’s just a part of life, and it’s just the body dying not us(:
I read this and wasnt even thinking about dying and immediately thought about it and had a anxiety attack, again.
Thank you 😌🤘❤
Same! This helps my anxiety quite a lot too!
@@nora5710 sorry about that, that’s not what I wanted :( hope that doesn’t happen again!
@@gabjab8444 it’s my fault for blaming you for my anxiety attack- I’m sorry
Your videos have calmed me in such a strange way. Anytime anyone would mention death I would freak out. Something about it just scares me, but I learned it was the fear of the unknown. By you teaching about bodies and having a funeral your own way it really helped me. Obviously I still don't like the idea of death, but I'm not as worried and nervous about it.
Also I didn't think I would ever be able to go to a funeral or gravesite because of my fear but I have overcame that.
I hope this makes sense. Just know that I appreciate you and your videos. Xoxo
Ariana Y - yes, my dear like-minded souls, confirm my thoughts.
Ariana Y please explain what you mean by that
Ariana Y death is more amazing then scary I’m wanting to do embalming but my parents probably won’t talk to me anymore so I might put that aside lol
Ariana Y
I have a bad heart and have my whole life, so I've always been very open and not afraid of the inevitable. I even worked for a pet cremation service for many years until my health stopped that. I'm getting heart surgery next month and even though I know this stuff, I know exactly what you mean. She has a way of saying everything in such a calming way, even the most gruesome of details. I'm glad you are no longer afraid, hun and I hope you have a wonderful and long life of many fabulous adventures. ✌❤
The way she explains the topic is just so calming, her voice is so steady. It’s very interesting in its own way.
the Iceman!! please do the Iceman!! best part of this moms day is watching your channel.
Ötzi, mah homeboi! (I live close to where he was discovered)
Yes, do Otzi and maybe the intact baby wooly mammoth.
I requested Ötzi some time ago, too!
Check out the History on Fire podcast, he did a really great episode on the history and discovery of Ötzi. It's a pretty long and complicated story!
Agreed! I'd love to learn more about Otzi, as I recently learned he & I are cousins!
1:45 "We follow each other on Twitter...HIIII-EEE!"
That's hilarious. Totally something I would do. Lmao
“Does your corpse look like this when you wished it looked like this?”
Salicylic acid? None of those pesky after death acne flare ups!
Not to mention that it cures headaches in the corpses. I've never heard any corpse embalmed using salicylic acid (aspirin) complaining of a headache.
Tortoise of Doom I thought exactly the same thing...nobody wants Zombie Zits!
That’s what I thought!
rudra62 corpse. headache..?
@@wahmanwahman386 You must be the hit on every party.
I have a suggestion for Iconic Corpses, the strange story of Lincoln's body and those who tried to steal it and what happened after that.
Yes! Lincoln's body has quite a story! We definitely need an episode on him.
sailorstarlightmoon Yeeeessss!!! Lincoln, pretty please Caitlin!!
I'm so glad I found your channel! Fits my weird and slightly horrible personality. Plus I found another Doughty ( my maiden name)!! Yippee!
I know this is random, but your energy and enthusiasm reminds me of Steve Irwin. You can tell you have real passion for this. It's a breath of fresh air in 2022 to see real passion and not just fame chasing and clickbaiting. Subscribed!
Wait. Two thirds of these ingredients are in our current skincare products.
GIRL WE’LL BE YOUNG FOREVER!!!!😂
so why don't we use this technique anymore? especially on public figures.
It's probably pretty time/effort-intensive. It's not a technique for amateurs.
people are a lot more scared of corpses now :/
they never gave out the secret
Because it's not only extremely expensive and dangerous to do because of all the chemicals that would have to be used, but also, there are other ways to see and preserve your loved ones after they've died. Way back when, this was the only way to see them because people didn't have cameras readily available in an instant.
The secret was released awhile back now.
I know she's not exactly iconic but, I would love to see the diva mummy from han dynasty China.
I agree. That would be very interesting.
To me she is iconic - I'm an art historian, and we studied her tomb in one of my Asian art history classes, because so many textiles and objects were preserved with her! I think since she is studied in colleges and universities, she counts as iconic :)
They actually had to put Rosalia into a new casket because her old one became worthless in preserving her..
D G No, they built a hermetic vessel to hold the entire casket. The casket itself has never been opened, never mind replaced!
@@tookitogo The glass lid had a cracking. So Rosalia started to decompose.
But since the Monks promised her father never allow anybody to disturb her slumber, they did not allow Signore Pirombino and Albert Zink ( who was NOT mentioned here! Though he is Pirombino's chief and in fact was the one who cared for Rosalia's body!) to take her out of the casket for preservation. Not for the x-rays, too, by the way.
So they took that new glass lid over the old, cracked one away, wiped away the humidity and the mold, then gassed it for destroying the bacterias, etc, and THEN put it into the new coffin. All stuff, the old casket, etc.
There is an empty bottle under Rosalia's pillow. They think there was something inside, a fluid or so which gassed into the coffin while/after the embalming.
But I think he, Salafia, just took it to put pillow and head higher for a better display.
He was not happy with the result after ending the embalming and making the 'bed', thought '... it could look better.... hm....what *could* I take to put under her head...-hm hm hm... uuuum... *HEY!* ' (loud:)" Does anybody still need that bottle over there?"
winterweib Ummm... didn’t they explain most of that in the video??
The glass that cover the casket broke up, and Rosalia became to decay. Plus her sister complained that the rmn in a way "coocked" the body, making the tissues change in colour. But I trust in work of dario piombino Mascali and I wish Rosalia will stay with us for serveral years to come...
Without the replacement lid, her body would still not enter a state of decomposition by God, the best of preservers!
The wave of tenderness I felt towards this little girl when I saw her body was so powerful I was very nearly brought to tears. I would love to be able to hold her.
"Offer not valid in Montana." 😆
Chelsea Church I live in Montana... guess I’m screwed 😂
Guess you'll have to rot. 😅
I live there too haha
Chelsea Church I read ballad of Mona Lisa
I’ll go home
Steven Manning omg do you live in Washington you’re subbed to the Seahawks and the mariners, i live in Washington
caitlin, i just read an article in my local paper, somewhere in philadelphia a new jersey funeral director dropped a casket full of an embalmed baby's organs
Just saw that. My head is permanently slammed into my desk.
Ask A Mortician what the actual hell. So maybe a new video idea 💡 cuz that is wow just horrifying
jackie palmieri A video on that would be very interesting.
* exaggerated wink *
jackie palmieri I saw that earlier and immediately wanted a video from this channel on how the actual hell that can happen. That poor family...
that's was it? I followed the case!
She would be over a hundred years ago today… yet she’s forever ageless
So now she’s preserved over 100 yrs. :O
Caitlin, I am eleven and have been watching you for about a year. So I was around ten when I started watching you. But to say the least, I got some issues, and I am too young to understand everything you're saying and love it. I used to be absolutely afraid of death because of my OCD and anxiety issues. Since watching you I have, you could say calmed about death. Now I am considering going to mortuary school. And I'd like to thank you! I am currently going to an advanced school and the anxiety of everything even gets me there. I feel pressured to be great because I go a school like that and that is definitely apart of the anxiety. To have this fear of death lifted with your death positive videos is great and helpful in a way. Keep on doing what your doing!
You're 11???? You write better than most adults you see on social media (or anywhere for that matter). You are clearly very intelligent and I have no doubt you will succeed at whatever you attempt. Best of luck to you. You have renewed my hope for the future of society! Keep doing what you're doing.
Rowynne Crowley She has definitely restored my faith in the next generation.
Ginxed Ginger You aren't alone! I've suffered with OCD and anxiety on and off my whole life. (I'm bipolar and have Borderline Personality Disorder as well. I have problems w mental obsessions. Some have dealt w death in the past) I'm not going into detail so as not to be triggering, but suffice it to say that things can keep continuing to get better. Your comment made me so happy!
A lot of us believe in you, Ginger! :)
This is such a wholesome comment, it genuinely made me smile. Good luck and I wish you all the best :)
One cool corpse is the Lady of Dai... or also known as the Diva Mummy. A 3000 year old corpse from China who is so well preserved, it could be autopsied and her blood could still be drawn.
Chibi Neko Have you seen Caitlin’s video about her?
You made me laugh out loud when you were doing your commercial stint. I was in a pissy mood until I turned on your channel. I love you
Caitlin makes me laugh out loud at least once in every video. You just know it'd be a stone cold blast to hang out with her.
@@jerichothedrifter60 let’s do it ! Let’s meet on Beale Street in Memphis and dance 💃 the night away. Or people watch 😂😂😂
YES! Black Dahlia! PLEASE Caitlin?
I just discovered your channel last night!been watching all your videos,and just want to say thanks for sharing what you do!
Thanks Jessica!
Do one for Xin Zhui. She wasn't as well preserved as others, but for her bodies age, she was remarkable.
omg yes! recently watched a doc about her O:
holy crap, she died in 168 BC?!? just looked her up
She was such a beautiful girl. So sad that she died so young :(
"Offer not valid in Montana" :( damn i really wanted to get in on that
I'm about 1/2 way through your book, and I keep telling all my friends about all your encounters in the crematorium. They may not appreciate it (especially at dinner), but I do! :)
xingcat I MUST get her book, wow, I'm sure I would love it. Would u mind telling me the name of it?? ❤️
Yes! It's called "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes." I just finished it, and I can't recommend it highly enough. Just a great story and really thought-provoking about how we approach death nowadays.
xingcat lol I wouldn't mind talking about that during dinner...unless my food can somehow make me picture nasty stuff...which is odd. lol you need new friends
xingcat I just ordered that book on Amazon I can't wait to read it
It's SO GOOD. I've talked about it with so many people in my life.
oooh ooh ooh! I got one! Tell us what happened to Pope Pius XII's corpse! A lesson in embalming failure.
she really looks great, I've seen her live.. well not a live.
i see myself out
Thank you for this! I've wondered about her preservation for ages and I was told the recipe was lost. This is awesome
George Mallory's body on Mt. Everest 👀
Marisa Tallulah or even maybe green boots?
Yes, please
i dunno, he looks a little under dressed and dehydrated nowadays XD
Green Boots body has been missing since 2014, meaning he is no longer at that cave.
No. He was just pushed down the mountain so people wouldn't gawk at him anymore.
the Iceman (or "Ötzi"), found in the alps
Leah Fagottien aw HELL yes
I watched a documentary on him too, really interesting story
I've been binge watching these iconic corpse videos and honestly this little girl is by far my favorite. She was the cutest and most precious little girl
Thank you so much for this video. I got a chance to see her when I was stationed in Sicily. I was so in awe of her I had never seen anything that in my life. I stood watching her for 30 minutes. She is so beautiful looking like a doll. Thank you so much☺
I just came across your channel tonight .. love it! I feel a binge sesh coming up! xx
Lenin! Lenin ... pleeeeeease! I'm fascinated by the fact that he gets frequent baths and tune-ups!
From a few days I’m totally hooked to your videos. It’s so interesting, I just can’t stop watching
I still remember learning about Rosalia for the first time while watching the Ripleys believe it or not show with Dean Cain. I still remember a time where the "secret" was still as secret. I kinda understand how my parents feel now when someone says Pluto isn't a planet, lol.
I learned in school several decades ago that Pluto was a planet, but the thing about science is, we learn new stuff that sometimes changes the old stuff. And those who understand science accept that. When we learned there are asteroids that are as big as Pluto, it was only a matter of time before it was reclassified. It's not that big a deal. _~shrug~_
[edit due to a typo]
Mummies and the Iceman=the opening band for an Echo and the Bunnymen gig in an alternate universe?
YESSSSSSSSS! Best day of the week! New Ask A Mortician :)
Encore! Caitlyn Doughety nevers fails to present subjects as five-star presentations. Sincere thank you for this ingenius series!
Right when the "commercial" started I was like SOLD and subscribed:) you have such awesome positive energy !
offer not valid in Montana 😂😂😂 well shit, I live in Montana!!!
That part was sooo funny
“Offer not valid in Montana” 😂😂😂
I had to pause the video to come say your voice is so lovely and soft. I could listen to it forever.
You’re so passionate about what you speak about and you’re so colorful with your words and your voice is so beautiful and soft
You’re easily my new favorite channel! I’m so glad i stumbled onto you!
This Make an ITALIAN follower happy and satisfied !! Caithlin DOCET! LuV From italy 🇮🇹
SAINT BERNADETTE!!!
for the next iconic corpse please. The lady doesn't appear to have decomposed in any way.... is it because she prayed enough? apparently she's not embalmed.
Cat Gilfillan good one!
Cat Gilfillan I can reply for Caitlin on this one! She looks so pretty because what you see is just a wax mask that was made before WWII by a French artist!
Caitlin has already talked about Saint Bernadette in the video about incorrupt corpses.
unusualInfern. Are you serious? Please tell me more. Is there anything about this on TH-cam? I'm really curious.
unusualInferno I've always heard the story that years after she had a normal burial, she was dug up and looked like she had just died. Even her organs were all intact and plump.
Omg! You are hilarious! You have made death way less scary for me when my time comes! Thank you!
I love your humor. Your videos are not just informative, but very entertaining. They are really interesting. Thank you for answering the questions that we are uncomfortable asking, but really want to know the answers to.
Dario needs his own TH-cam channel. I watched all of the footage of him trying to protect and preserve those mummies and the dedication is just breathtaking
For the next iconic corpses you should do Lenin Stalin 👌🏻🎉
not to be rude or anything, but do you mean Vladimir Lenin or Joseph Stalin? These are two different people.. Maybe you're talking about someone named like that? Correct me if I'm wrong.
Inmerk Saldusisteveli Obviously a typo.
He probably means Lenin/Stalin
+cyberlucy I don't really see how Stalin's corpse would be iconic, bc it was embalmed, but on display next to Lenin for not long.
Wasn't it then cremated?
i love your sense of humor, it's tasteful but light, your presentation of the subject is in a way that keeps your audiences attention. i wish you had been my psychology professor when i was getting my thanatology certificate, he spoke in a monotone and no matter how much you tried he'd make you zone out, i tried taping his lectures and everything, i couldn't trandfer to another professor since he was the only one who taught the class
First: Love your hair short!! Looks fantastic.
Second: thank you for this video. Rosalia has always been a mystery to me. Seen many videos about this but you have by far provided the most info.
So happy I found this channel! 🙏❤️
The iceman is interesting and I'd like to learn about him.
OMG I’m so sorry!!! I should have known you have already covered her!! Thank you!!❤️🙏🏽
LMBO!!! You are without a doubt my favorite Mortician/ Comedian ever! Love it! Love you!!
I SWEAR IVE BEEN WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS NON STOP FOR THE LAST DAY
One of your videos showed up a few days ago on my recommended page, which given i watch a combination of beauty videos and politics (including the political satire of Stephen Colbert et al) was a strange thing to see pop up.... Ask a Mortician??? What??? Has TH-cam completely changed their system for recommendations? So as it kept appearing there i figured i HAD to see what this crazy sounding "goth" channel was. Three days later i have watched at least 50 of your videos, purchased your audiobook, watched your TED talk and posted about you on social media. You are also about to become my first and only content provider supported via Patreon. So for whatever reason youtube thinks you are a left leaning (ok ...they got that part right)....beauty guru/Anderson Cooper/late night talk show host ...I thank them! As someone who even through my 20s would lay in bed terrified by thoughts of death and dying until i was a sobbing, hysterical mess, youve made the subject instead interesting, humorous and anything but terrifying. THANK YOU!
That is how I was sucked in too
Same here. I watch some beauty videos and some Colbert-type videos and up pops one of your videos in the recommended section. You’re delightfully wicked, Caitlin!! I enjoy your sense of humor!! 💗
Sarah Kalnajs same happened to mee ! And I watch the kind of politic satire videos , some beauty channels too. As well as a bunch of german stuff :D I was surprised to see it.... But I loved it from the beginning
I have found my kindred spirits! Love beauty vids, love Stephen Colbert. I got sucked in too, and find all of this fascinating. Although I have already given some thought to what I want done to my body when I die. I'd love to be buried in the woods somewhere, after my organs have been donated, and whatever is left over I want to be left alone, no embalming for me please! I like the idea of my body feeding other creatures and going back into the earth.
This is how I arrived too! John Oliver also featured :p Caitlin is incredible!!
Such a good watch!
Thank you for enlightening me.
I love your videos and really appreciate your candid discussions regarding the death industry.
I just found this channel and I'm already obsessed! By the way the Institute where Piombino-Mascali works has that weird name because it studies the mummy of Ötzi, a caveman from 3000 B.C. preserved in the ice of the Alps! You probably already know this and here in Italy it was a HUGE deal, but perhaps it'll be interesting for some of your followers (if you haven't already done a video on it)!! Keep up the good work!
I heard that caveman is cursed because everyone involved with his discovery died not long after.
@@jerricaleonard2123 There were dozens of people involved and a maybe 5 prople died within 2-3 years. I think it looks more like a coincidence.
I have a book about Ötzi in one of my book cases.
avid viewer from, guess where? Italy! I'm so happy you uploaded, always makes my day
Grazie! Sorry for the botched words.
Ask A Mortician I'm from Italy too! My mother always talks me about Rosalia's corpse lol
I just came upon your channel and.... you’re in my top 3 favorite. Intelligence, experience, sense of humor- winning combination. 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🖤🖤🖤
I really can't get enough of your stories Caitlin
I learned about her from a book when I was a kid. Didn’t know the location, then saw her on a end-of-school trip when I was 18. I don’t want to say it was amazing because, well, you’re walking in between dozens of someone’s ancestors, but it was pretty special.
Just heard about the Mayan sleeping maiden that is well preserved by the nature.
Did you mean Incan?
I really love the way you make death, for lack of better words funny. Thank you.
My favorite episode yet! She is adorable but heart breaking at the same time. Just amazing!

IM DEAD 😂😂😂💀
Your videos are the best!
I love this stuff!! And your sense of humor is hilarious! Keep up the good work.😁😁😁
This cracked me up so bad. Not only that but also it is very informative. Thank you!
Note: I found out about you from a comment at ObsoleteOddity. Two great channels!
I laughed so hard at the infomercial! 😂 thanks for brightening my day
Amazing videos! Love from Canada!
You are so amazing and I love the comedy/couth you have absolutely nailed down! Not like a coffin nail, but just a nail. Ok off to no more nails!
Thanks for all your help
Caitlin, enjoyed the video as always. This seems to be best case scenario video, how about a video on worst case scenario for example, when things went horribly wrong. What's your gut feeling, Rosalia has been that way for 96 years, will she still look the same say in another 40 years?
I have been on an ask a mortician marathon :3 been a great few days at work!
Must be a great job if you're actually getting paid for not working.
M. Utley well, this show doesn't require my constant attention and I can just listen. But yes, data entry for 9 hours in a cube does give me time to listen to books music and ask a mortician lol.

Fair enough.
I'm glad I found this channel, it's so fascinating
I don't know how I stumbled across your channel but I did and I love it!
