When I was 6, my maternal grandfather died. I was truly amazed by how great he looked, I started following the funeral director around asking so many questions. I wanted his job. It was the 70s and my mom used to tell me that most women don't choose this career, it was morbid, and other discouraging and hurtful comments. I went to college for nursing. I worked in oncology and palliative care and I hated every day of it. Cincinnati Mortuary College is maybe 3 miles of my residence. I'm looking at 50 soon, but am I too old to pursue my dream career? You are a true inspiration, and I always learn something from your videos. Thank you.
My daughtet is starting the pre mortuary science program at UC Blue Ash. Then she's going over to Cincinnati College of Mortuary Science. When she told me that's what she wanted to do I was elated. When I was in my early 20's I wanted to do go to school but my parents called me weird. Lol
Again Keri you hit a grand slam with this vioeo. When I retired from the U S Navy I tried to enroll in the Worsham school of mortuary sciences. Alas, no high school diploma, no enrollment! Keep up the great work
Great video! I love Wayne State. I wanted to transfer to there(I did my mortuary science classes at Macomb Community College). They also use cadavers there to test automobile safety. It's really fascinating.
Love your videos!! You always make your videos interesting and informative I have learned Soo much about the funeral industry both business and the technical side from you videos love it!! Your Soo amazing I'm not in school and I don't think I could do what you do but I do have a lot of respect for what you do and you are educating people who may want to go into this field and showing a lot of things that maybe they wouldn't be able to see before actually getting into it.. and you're also showing other people that are in the field things that they might not know you'd be such a good teacher..
Mrs.northey, Just want to said that you are so far out too. Always found out all the different types of school for funeral directors too. Kari I do understand about the love one in all y'all hand. Bath at the hospital and went yall getting to the funeral home too. It's a laws wait for 24 hours in can the body its went to them make. Thank you for all you do.you are a God angel too.god bless you.
Great video!! I really enjoyed watching it. Thank you for taking the time to drive to the Detroit area. It’s not always easy driving around in Detroit. I am about 15 minutes north of Detroit.
Hi Kari what an amazing place to go and study to study, I think for that kind of teaching and learning you need a small campis. Well done to all those students learning how to look after us when we pass on. Lot's of love from Nancy in Scotland x
Kari, loved this video. What an awesome program they have at Wayne State ! Thank you for all the interesting & educational videos . You make the Funeral Industry as a whole, look more compassionate. For that, I thank you . It's never easy dealing with death, but, you've brought such interesting insight, that is appreciated. Xx
Thanks Kari, I find the idea of mortuary schools fascinating and fabulous. I think I'd have loved it and possibly been good at it as an extension of life in the nursing profession.
Hi Kari I love your channel it is so informative in all areas of the funeral industry.I have a question,the part of this program terrifies me is the reconstructive portion only because I am no artists AT ALL!!!!how does one go about succeeding in the Mortuary Science program when you don’t have an artistic bone in your body.Thanks Kari👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
The Mortuary field owes you a tremendous debt to the services you provide! I may be contacting for for advice about changes creers myself! LOL Thank you Kari.
Hi Kari, I find these videos very interesting and informative to watch 👍 I have such a fear of death, because I am so afraid of dying 😢 the reason being because I do not know what happens in the afterlife that scares me 😞
@@KaritheMortician Wow hun I thought you would have gotten back with a reply stating that you had no fear what so ever of dying 😣 What you do for a living is amazing takes a certain type of person compassionate, caring, dedicated to caring for the deceased I commend you!! Love your videos it takes the edge off the fear that I have because you are so real, down to earth and compassionate it shows, thank you kindly!! God bless, well wishes, and many blessings sent your way 👍 Thanks for responding hoping you and I can find peace in the afterlife hoping to find our loved ones there 🙏🕯️✝❤️
@@KaritheMortician Hi Kari, Thank you, I agree with you 👍I enjoy your videos, you're such a sweet gal 👋😃☝️👌 God bless and thank you for all that you do to preserve the dearly departed 🙏✝❤️👌
Allow me to pin point a question asked by silentfades. Where do the bodies the students work on come from? Is this an extension of "donating a body to science" or can you request that your body be used for mortuary teaching exclusively? And jumping off another point silentfades raised are the bodies on loan from local funeral homes and will be returned after preparation?
gramps2matt I know there is an option here in Missouri, US to donate exclusively to mortuary science schools for students to practice on. Once you’ve had everything done to you that can be you are cremated and returned to the family. Or if you wish you can be used for medical students to dissect and study on as well before being cremated and returned.
Hi Kari! Thank you so much for doing these tour videos. I watched your tour of PIMS (i've been there and think it's great). Will you be touring more school's? Ranking them maybe?
Really interesting video...dnt have anything like this in UK...ppl have to get placements/volunteer in funeral homes.. there is no such school here! I wish there was..id love to see that museum!
Great informative video, but I found the room with the funeral home memorabilia especially interesting. If anyone is interested, there are several Funeral Home Museum videos on TH-cam. It appears that the largest Funeral Home Museum is in Houston.
I have to check that out. I heard that embalming started with in the Civil War era and Lincoln was the first president to get embalmed. I'm sure many here have seen that picture of an undertaker embalming someone on a battlefield during the Civil War. Here is a suggestion for a future video. Do a video presentation of a funeral home museum if you have one nearby. This might interest you or others on here. I found a blog site called "The Business of Black Death in Detroit The Place of Black Funeral Homes and Cemeteries in the City of Detroit" , just Google it if you want. I found it fascinating. Anyway, thanks again
Are they graded per course ? Do have too maintain a certain GPA - how can they grade for ie embalming when there is 4/5 students per cadaver ? do local funeral homes loan the bodies here for embalming then get them back for the showing ? How do does one grade on personality or interactions with others ? are the families informed that a student is involved ? Is there a discount since a student is doing the work ? are students on call for pick up ...does a funeral director need to be there for that ? Is there any programs that are a master degree in the funeral business ? if you think any of the questions should be answered by the school let me know and i will forward them. Have you ever thought f or have you ever been involed with teaching ? As always a sincere thank you for this video!!! PS As always thank you and I still have a bunch of questions coming real soon LOL
silentfades I would say that the cadavers are ones that have donated their bodies to science or that are maybe Jane or John Doe's (Usually homeless people) that no one has claimed their bodies in a certain amount of time maybe. I doubt that the bodies used in the school would be funeral home work. Most likely donated bodies.
Kari Northey That is very interesting as things are very very different in Australia. Most practice is done on unclaimed or donated cadavars. Also this course is only offered in certain States of Australia. Also you can do certain components of the course like to just learn imbalming for example but, each component of the course is very expensive. There is only one or two funeral homes close by where I live that I know of. There seems to be many more funeral homes in the U.S..
Carrie I just want to know do you have a cross stitch when you will have to us up somebody and thank you for what you did for another Wando I need to be scared dad but when I hear from you I know they are in heaven and thank God for somebody like you to teach us
It's probably handy to have a director who is also a lawyer to handlly all the sleazy funeral happenings that end up in court. What a perfect match. A lawyer, who is already lower than whale shit, and a sleazy funeral director trying to oversell a customer like a used car salesman.

Awesome video. When a student does embalming & etc, is the deceased someone who donated their body to research & science?
Interesting that he has a law degree as well. There is a shortage of death care lawyers in the country.
bright and .....lovely
Idea for another video would be old items used for death care... item/ what it was used for. The museum room looked interesting.
My hubby graduated from WSU with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree!!!
Very nice tour
