Just amazing. What a huge amount of knowledge you need in your work, Tracey, and you always speak with such compassion and care for the deceased. I had no idea of what’s involved in your work with all the different situations you encounter. Trish and Tracey, thank you once again for such an interesting clip. ❤️🌺❤️
I honestly think you don’t get paid enough for what goes in preparing our loved ones! Love the dignity you show for the deceased and their family. Hats off to you beautiful ladies… ❤️❤️
Thank you so much 🤗 Yes it is a very poorly paid industry here in Australia. People that do this line of work definitely don't do it for the money. Big hugs 🤗❤️❤️
@@Areyoudyingtoknow I wish you were in Adelaide to prepare my 35 year old son 4 years ago! It took almost 5 weeks to get him back from the coroner’s,he didn’t look good for the viewing but thank God we did get to view him at all at the very hight of Covid. So much love for you. I’m forever changed by his untimely death! 💔💔💔
A wealth of information as always. I have family members who ask me questions about what will happen to the person they are associated with. I answer depending on who they are and what their mental state is at that time. Through your videos, I am able to give them a more knowledgeable explanation which I have been thanked for both then and meeting them months down the road. I used to do body removals from all scenes in the 80's and 90's, retired and I am now in the EMS field again. Thank you Ladies for giving me more insight on the amazing work being done!!! 👍💯😊❤❤
Oh wow that's amazing work you are doing and we are so very happy we help play a little part in this, that's so special. Keep up the great work and thank you so much for your kind words ❤️❤️
Got to agree with others! Amazing! Thank you for your professionalism and dedication to your craft. I’m sure your full but sensitive explanation will bring much comfort to many people. Keep up the great work you two! Love and best wishes from the UK xx
Good morning ladies. Love your jacket styling. I would have never thought about skin. That is quite the process to dry the body. Just when I think that I understand the basic process, there is another component. Thank-you so much for teaching us! Have a lovely day. ❤😊
I assume your organ donation in Aus is the same as in the States. All the useful standard organs, eyes, femurs and other large bones, etc are taken, and then all skin except head and hands as those would be visible for presentation in a casket. Here, bones are generally replaced with PVC pipe to maintain shape for the viewing.
As a science fan, am curious how many years of education & clinical practice does the UK require for your profession? Listening to your videos it seems a thorough grasp of anatomy is needed 🧐
Hi, I don't know about the education needed in the UK. Yes I am from the UK but have only worked in the funeral industry in Australia and yes a good grasp on anatomy is preferred here in Australia. ❤️
Hello lovely ladies! what an interesting question! I never thought about that scenario. I have a question: Let's say that a family of the deceased wants to handle the body (they want to clean the body at home, dress it and have no embalming process) or be with you when you apply the make up (because they want to do grandma's makeup for example, or dyeing their hair... ), as a mortician, are you allowed to have this family member in the prep room with you, once the embalming is done? and do you provide any assistance to the families that want to clean, dress and "prepare" for the viewing their loved ones? Thank you so much!
Yes of course.. we do family dressings etc all the time. Sometimes we assist other times we just leave them to it. Some cultures do this all the time and are totally comfortable with dressing and caring for their own dead. Its abbeautiful thing to witness. Plus remember not everyone is embalmed 🙂 thanks for the question.
Greetings from California. I love your channel. I would like to know what policies are in place in Australia to protect transgender bodies. Can families who do not affirm the decedent’s gender identity dress their loved one in clothing that conflicts with their identity? Should transgender people take that extra step to include this information in their advanced directive to protect their bodies if they are to be placed on display? Much love from the U.S.A.
Stupid question for comic relief...what would happen if you put fruit/ veg in embalming chemicals? (Clearly not edible!) But would they be "displayable" for longer 😂? (Also probably a bad idea to try this 😂 )
A question what is the quickest time you have had a body delivered for you to prepare and it's burial or creamationl after.? Say on religious grounds or other scenerios. Take care 👍
That makes total sense, thank you so much for your reply and thank you so very much for what you do. I am so very grateful for the work you do with our loved ones and with such care
@@Areyoudyingtoknow As you both know I commented before about my friend who was a mortician. What I wanted to ask a question of Tracy and that is does she feel a different energy when you're dealing with a case of a natural death or accident vs someone whose life was taken by another person. My friend had actually told me that when he got in a person who had been shot versus someone who had passed that a nursing facility or car accident it was just a different energy. He said it was very hard to put in the words. That's my question you guys are wonderful and amazing.
As she says in the video a bluey is an absorbent pad, used in hospital and other health care to keep leaks and fluids from spilling. Sort of like the disposable puppy training pads and baby change mats. They are usually blue on the waterproof side and cotton wool like period pad material or disposable nappy material on the side closest to the body. Blessings, Dot
@@dotcassilles1488 ok thanks and you do knw other countries call exactly what you described differently what you described in the us there called chucks

Challenge accepted sarah.. leave it with us.. we will do a vid. 🙂
hi tracy what do they look like in terms of organs?
Love to thrift!❤
💕💕
❤
🥰❤️❤️
A question what is the quickest time you have had a body delivered for you to prepare and it's burial or creamationl after.?
Say on religious grounds or other scenerios.
Take care 👍
Within 24 hours for cultural reasons. ❤️❤️
I'm going to be cremated , i didn't know you still have to do all that . I'm from Canada, so do they still do that here ?
Hi, I don't know what the process is in Canada sorry. ❤️❤️
I’m just curious, what is the reason for washing the body??
Hi, it's an antibacterial wash needed so the body is clean for treatment and for viewing and services. And just respect and dignity too ❤️❤️
That makes total sense, thank you so much for your reply and thank you so very much for what you do. I am so very grateful for the work you do with our loved ones and with such care
Sorry I didn’t mean to sound like an idiot asking a question like that
Thank you ❤️
Definitely don't sound like an idiot. Good question thanks 😊
Hello ladies been a minute. I have a question if I have a subject that I want to submit to you how do I do that.
