there are a quite few errors in this video, coming from a morticians son, someone who is actually in this industry. Usually the Medical Examiner (autopsy specialist) does not take the time to wash hair because during the procedure they also remove the brain, which requires cutting into the skull, after this is done it'd be very hard to wash your hair especially because they leave the job of reattaching the skull cap and brain (along with arranging the organs that all get tossed in the abdominal cavity) to the embalmer. Also taking belongings from the dead (like a bus pass or money) is very illegal and frowned upon if the deceased has living family members. Second you typically would never get embalmed and cremated, it's one or the other, for the main purpose of embalming is to preserve the body and keep it from rotting in the ground after burial, if the family wanted to view and cremate, a simple washing and bathing, packing of orpheus's and setting of features is taken place, before the viewing not a full embalming although it is highly encouraged, because it does look better. (it would be really expensive to cremate and embalm as well.) When the family does choose to cremate, they would never be cremated in a full casket!! they are NOT made for that and there would be a lot of bolts, screws and handles to pick out of the remains (which who would want to do that?) caskets are heavy too not to mention and a lot are made out of metal which isn't very flammable. Instead the body is placed in a cremation tray which is basically a piece of plywood with your body on it and a cardboard box over it to be ignited by the flame. The embalming process is primarily done through the carotid artery as well because that is the best artery to drain all the blood from which this video also forgets to mention. PLEASE CONTACT A FUNERAL HOME FOR ACCURATE INFORMATION!!!!
^^^^^^^^^^^ THIS!!!! I’m a mortician’s daughter and we run a family owned funeral home. Honestly it kind of made me angry how this video depicted some aspects of the process (also when they called a casket a coffin 🙄). Also, sometimes the coroner puts the brain inside the abdomen and just leaves the scalp open. I walked in on my dad sewing up a woman’s skull stuffed with rags bc her brain wasn’t in there. I think that depends on the coroner that does the autopsy though. Anyway, this comment above is much better than the actual video. Please please PLEASE do NOT always take what you see on the internet for a fact. There are many funeral homes that treat your deceased loved ones with so much more respect and care than this video cares to admit.
Thank you Connor Slack for that very thorough and informative correction. Your words are very professional and made it more comforting! it was better than the actual video for me!
@ Robert, Maria, Pedro, and greo : So very sorry for your loss, but your loss is only temporary. There is the coming Resurrection of the dead, mentioned in the Bible. Stay strong, and have faith. You will see your loved ones again !
I just recently got a job as a body removal and will be helping at the funeral home, let’s just say everybody who went or is going to school for this type of career, does this because we want to help in some way. I want to help families at their lowest and decided to become a mortician. Though I’m starting out as someone who picks up the body, I’m still going to respect the loved one that passed and the family who is effected in the situation.
I do the same except mortician that is about all that I don't do and nobody from the hospital does anything in the funeral home unless the work for one
1. They do not use a saw for the first incision 2. They do not wash the body after an autopsy 3. Would NEVER steal from the deceased, everything is accounted for 4. Not all funeral homes have a freezer 5. At least in Canada it is mandatory to tell clients embalming is not necessary 6. Your whole embalming process is completely wrong, especially because you stated this person is an autopsy 7. Eyes don't usually need to be glued 8. Workplace harassment seems like a thing in your funeral home 9. Crematory operators cannot open caskets 10. Usually takes 3-4 hours for a cremation to take place From: a funeral director
Thank you for clarifying, just from watching ask a mortician I thought there were some things wrong. And the thing that annoyed me the most was the embalming process, thank you for letting me know I'm not the only one who wondered how they could pump the embalming fluid in after an autopsy 😂 why wouldn't they ask an embalmer if they were going to present how the body is prepared for viewing 😂 However I think that in USA you are not required to say that embalming isn't necessary, I just think that you can't lie about it if asked.
they didn’t mention the head being “opened” to examine the brain during autopsy, i have never heard of drying the eyes out, nor do most people get put into pampers, for certain cases they would use “plastics” which are like a plastic jogging suit... my 2 cent lol
I want to say, thank you to those who handled my friend Emily with respect And making her look beautiful at her funeral. Your family and friends love you Emily
I heard on the news that a lady donated her mothers body. Then found out the armed forces used the body to test the effects of some sort of bomb. She wasnt happy.
As a hospice nurse who regularly interacts with those in the funeral service and at the medical examiners office, thank you for what you do. This video misrepresented the field and the work that you all do to help families when they are grieving a loss. I've had so many interactions with people in the field and have never come across someone who didn't have a profound respect for both the deceased and the families that they work with. Every field has a few bad apples, but this is definitely never been my experience over many years as a hospice nurse.
I paid to watch my dad go in the cremator. I was so worried they would just throw together whoever and give us someone else's ashes, they explained the entire process and how the numbering works internationally as well as the respect taken, i watched his coffin go in and saw how clean it was before. Its done very respectfully, its the heart ache afterwards thats the difficult part. At least I know where my dad is now 🙏
@@STZNCCTXBecause this is South Africa, they charge you to make money off you in every aspect. There isn't much that is out of bounds when it comes to making a fast buck...sadly.
(Embalmer for 17 years) ... there’s so much wrong with this video. The order of things for one. Autopsied cases aren’t aspirated. Freezers aren’t used, coolers are. The incision locations are wrong. Scattered info, poorly arranged. This is why the public is so poorly informed of these processes
This hit home, my father wasn't cremated but a little over a year ago my mother in law passed away and was cremated. I'm still sensitive about her passing but I'm glad to know how the process was, I miss them both greatly so I'm glad to know how things are done. Thank you.
Considering most people dont die of just old age I imagine this process is probably a lot more gross then we are even thinking it is. Imagine cutting open a deceased dead animal on the side of the road. A lot different than something from the butcher. Anyone who has this job is taking one for the team.
When my sister died last Oct 2021, after 3 days of viewing she was cremated. The crematorium did not include the casket and asked us what to do on the casket. We just gave it to the Funeral Home. The body was put to the chamber including her dying clothes. After less than 2 hours, there are some bones not totally turned to ash. They were put in a grinder. The whole process was viewed by the family, thus some members don't want to be cremated when they die due to "painful" process. Told them that dead person will no longer feel the pain. Personally, I want to be cremated when my times come but to autopsy, I don't want it.
Dearest Arcaithe: I just happen to be your rotten, awful, mean boss.....who heard that giggle.....WHEN you should have been working! Be in my office first thing tomorrow!!
I’ve worked for a funeral home for 4 years now from pickup, assisting in the embalming process, all the way up to the end for services and burial. Some of this information is not accurate: 1. There are no “freezers”. The body is cold from refrigeration, but not frozen. 2. After an autopsy, the internal organs are not “repositioned,” but simply placed in a trash bag, then laid in the chest cavity before sowing up. 3. They completely left out the makeup part of preparation for a viewing after embalming and dressing. 4. Not every funeral home uses diapers. And lastly, 5. Caskets are reused if they are rental caskets.
@@braindrain1407 If you're going to be cremated you may have a viewing prior to and why pay thousands of dollars for a casket if you're going to be cremated.
You are right about all above, I did Autopsies, and everything else with the funeral business. Yes the speaker of this video was incorrect about lots of things.
How can you take anything with you or hide stuff in your body you can't take anything with you when you Die your dead for a reason when people are no longer with us here
I worked in a funeral home once and one thing this video missed was how they cut up the back of the clothing and literally drape it on top of the body. When you see a dead person in the casket you can pretty much assume that the back of their clothes have been cut up because it's not possible to dress them completely due to rigormortis
@Metal Scarif this video is suposed to be about America funerals most of the details are wrong I've never gotten a body from the medical examiner 'clean' nor do they replace your organs in there proper place. Thay get put in a plastic bag all together and all that gets put in the cavity. after you get to the funeral home if the family wants embalming we do it right away theres no need to wait for the autopsy report.
Hate to break it to you.. but postmortem examiners are not doctors, they are Forensic Pathologist. completely different field and career from Medical Doctors this is like calling Dentists Doctors.
My family has owned and operated multiple funeral homes since before I was born. My grandfather used to work late and listen to music on a old record player. Well one night I was there helping and my dad left to get something, I put a old record on and the corpse looked like it was smiling. My dad said sometimes temperature change or how the skin is pulled when handling them will make their faces do odd things. So when we got a elderly gentleman who was known for publicly shunning colored couples in town, I played 2Pac's "I get around" and the face was frowning so hard he was grinning in disgust.
The receptiacle that the body is placed into for cremation is called a retort and the ashes are called cremains. There was NEVER any theft from the deceased person when I was in funeral service and we treated the body with the respect it deserved.
Now, now.......I happen to be your nice funeral home embalmer (who will work on you) and I am very partial to "cutting up" as they say......besides, I have a nice new set of sharp knives I'm just "dying" to try out!
Embalming has never been required. Its recommended when transporting a corpse across state lines (to avoid decomposition), but never necessary. If you watch Ask A Mortician, she'll tell you all about it.
You don’t need embalming if you’re burying either. Some families like the results, but others don’t. For ‘woodland’ or ‘green’ burial it’s required that the body is not embalmed.
My uncle was a mortician back in the 60s and cremation was very unheard of back then. My uncle enjoyed his job and he worked in several funeral homes and when he got sick he was able to tell us (his family) which funeral home he wanted to be buried from and how he wanted his remains treated. He chose cremation as well, I too think that cremation is my way too!
@@buffalobillsfan2649 Same. I didn’t even get to know my great grandpa because he passed away years before I was born. Same with my great grandma. And to make up for it I’d like to give back to them by getting put in the same resting place.
When my mom passed away I was her makeup artist. I ask the funeral place if they have make supplies and they handed me bunch of filthy looking supplies. So I told my boyfriend to go out and buy all the NEW STUFFS I’m sure she’ll thank me for it from heaven🙏
I had my dad cremated in 2016 and when I got his remains there were curly wires that you were showing in them. In 1985 he had open heart surgery and they use those to close his ribs together and they were actually in the ashes sitting on top, but it’s funny my dad always talked about those things he would take my hand and put it on his chest and say “ son do you feel that that’s the wires they used to close my ribs.” so I was kind of weirded out.
Magnet can't pickup titanium and most medical fasteners . The crematory operator should done a better job removing by sight after the cremains cool down.
I will say that our local funeral home is amazing. When my dad died at the hospital, it took forever for them to release him. I had to wait for a phone call so i could tell them that No, they couldn't have my 76 year old dad's eyes or anything else for that matter. It was 10 pm before i finally got that call. Bridges and Cameron went straight to get him immediately, in the middle of the night. Once i got there the next morning, he was already embalmed. None of his organs were removed. I asked. He wasn't cut on at all. I asked. He had been cut on enough. I couldn't ask for any better treatment of my dad. They were amazing. I will never use anyone else.
Makes me glad I live in Sweden, where closed-coffin funerals are the default and you don't have all that embalming stuff. I never got what's the deal with embalming the dead if you aren't going to keep the mummies around forever to be put on display like Lenin, and open casket funerals just seemed needlessly ghoulish to me. I want to remember my loved ones as they were when they were alive, I don't want the last image I ever get to see of a loved one to be of their cold dead corpse.
Open coffin funerals are also about closure. Its definitely hard to see a loved one in there (even harder if you grab their hand and find it stiff and cold as ice) but the overwhelming sadness of the moment can help with the long term for some people.
@@jamesbarnes5769 Maybe for some, I know other people for whom such a moment would only make it all harder to handle. But it's not like closed casket funerals are sterile and emotion-free affairs, there's a portrait of the dead person and people are still crying and taking in the emotions and talking about their memories of them. When physically seeing and touching the deceased isn't an expected part of your culture, the vast majority of people in it simply don't feel they need to do that specific thing to process their emotions. Plus I've heard lot's of embalming chemicals are both dangerous for the environment as well as the people working with handling the dead bodies, so for me at least that's another reason I am uneasy about the idea of embalmings.
@@blondbraid7986 Oh definitely. Been to both kinds and either way tears are shed for sure. Different cultures have different ways to deal with the grief and service. Grandmother in law passed recently and her husband fell to the ground in tears once he saw her. That might sound terrible (and it was) but it did make the rest of the service easier with such an intince moment of emotion already had. Typically in a open casket funeral the family/close friends comes in 30min prior to the public so they may grieve in peace so as to better receive the visitors paying there respect. Again both types are fine but our family has always practiced open casket typical of most Southerners in America.
When I die before I leave this precious earth I would love to see everything that goes on with my earthly dead body and also I'm going to be checking up and in on all of my family members and love ones that are still alive on earth and let everybody know including my Beautiful Father and my Mother and to the rest of the family and everybody all around across the world it is okay to Cry
it is unfortunately children the end is inevitable, so enjoy every second of your life in the right way so as not to regret it later at the wrong time, for those who want to live a little longer I suggest you donate your organs and stay alive for a longer time on earth and in most of the time making another child happy for the time they should deserve 😁👍🏼
I worked in a funeral home and assisted a few embalming. And if anyone took any personal belongings of the deceased they were fired. That was number 1 rule No Taking Any Items unless specified by the family to do so like jewelry, or metal fillings like gold or silver, etc and give those to the family.
One correction and one addition. The eye caps have a kind of barb that hooks onto the inside of the eyelid, this is what keeps the eyes closed. Also, you skipped the mouth sewing to stop your jaw dropping open. Aside from that, great video!!
FYI, that's not a coffin, it's a casket. Coffins are "body shaped," wider at the shoulders than at the head and feet. They are also less flashy. Caskets are rectangular, have plush padding and are much more ornate.
I'm 46 years of life at 44 years of life I attended my very first funeral. At 23 years of life my son was laid to rest. I don't see anywhere the rest of my days on earth that I'll end my tears nor will my heart be mended but at least now I know what they did to my son from the hospital, funeral home and onto the crematory I'm absolutely devastated with an infinite broken heart. Thank you TH-cam for letting me share/comment
MAAM, IM SO SORRY FOR YOUR EXPERIENCE. THIS IS NOT THE BEST DEPICTION OF THE PROCESS. PLEASE BE WELL ASSURED THAT YOUR SON IS WITH YOU FOR LIFE!!! GOD LOVE YOU. HIS PRESENCE IS AMONG US ALL
Wow this was an interesting take on Death rites... I’m definitely going for a more natural Finale...I don’t want nasty chemicals pumped though my body-my temple!
Interesting, by law, I need to tell my clients all of these details when preparing a contract for disposition, so nothing is a secret. I worked in the removal end of the funeral business for over 10 years and never once did we help ourselves to the belongings of the deceased. The incision in the chest for an autopsy is made with a scalpel... the bone saw ( not a rusty hacksaw) is used to cut through the ribs only. And if this video is in any way true to your understanding of the funeral industry, you have been dealing with the wrong funeral home!
Thank you! Fellow licensed individual here and man. So much misinformation here haha. Little stuff but enough to get people thinking all the wrong things!!
Marilyn Willett, what do you mean “just trust Jesus”? There are many other religions to trust, or no religion at all. Telling people everything is fine as long as you pray is a bit close minded. That’s like telling an addict that their addiction will go away if they pray everyday, highly unlikely.
What I find interesting is they did an autopsy on his body so it would be different in the embalming process. Nothing to puncture. Also, my mother wanted to be cremated. My funeral director did not say she needed to be embalmed. Once the hospital released her, they took her body to the crematorium. Her funeral was her ashes in the urn. I have seen funeral homes not giving that option but it is there. No embalming necessary for direct cremation.
My lil 15 year old cousin was murdered june 10th 2021, yesterday was her open casket and i bawled my eyes out. as my aunt and i drove to the funeral what was sad and what made my stomach turn was the hurst that was carrying her was right behind us it hurt a lot and i got instant chills. than I saw her and it didnt even look like herself at all she looked older and gone. Then when we were leaving I saw her casket being carried back into the hurst and ready for cremation. A sad depressing process tbh and its horriying, tramautizing, and heartbreaking to see her body in person and to know that she was cremated.
They make bucks! and they basically go to med school like a doctor but a year or two less, so, to them, it's more like a hospital/medical environment which interests a lot of people. And again, they make big bucks and work alone and don't have to deal with annoying managers and creepy coworkers. They don't get any grief from their client so it's probably pretty cool except when there is a child involved or a really rotted body that stinks. Then it's all about Lysol and air freshener and cleaning that mess up to honor the dead person.
Alison B yeah I would much rather work around dead bodies over alive people anyday. The dead won’t hurt you. It’s the living that you should be worried about
Going to a funeral has destroyed me on how I feel about them. My wife and daughter passed away in 2013 and when I saw my wife after the funeral home fixed her up, she looked bloded but was still gorgeous. She looked peaceful. Which gave me some peace but ill never go to another one again. Thank God my mom and dad wants to be cremated and doesn't care about a funeral.
i am not getting cremated i want my body to be whole i want to to be sent to the bottom of the ocean only natural things for the coffin so that there is no pollution so i may see or become a part of whats down there
Cremation adds to air pollution . Ash is sterile, inorganic like plastic and harmful to marinelife. Greenburial better than cremation. Nontoxic and naturally decompose.
I’m the son of a mortician. Up until I was six years old, we lived inside of my father’s funeral home. All of the stuff on this video is true, and was vocabulary I was exposed to and surrounded with during my entire childhood. Quite a creepy childhood... we used to play hide and seek in the casket selection room, we would eat dinner while my dad was in the next room embalming a body, and I walked in on many autopsies by accident. I currently am typing this inside the office of the F.H as I spend many evenings studying here with our WiFi. I do not live in here anymore but my father continues to run our local funeral home to this day. I’d love to answer some questions if anyone has any.
Hey what's up? I'm thinking of working for a cemetery. This uh business had always been interesting to me. It is an important profession obviously. I guess if I had a question it would be this. What can you do in this field with no schooling or experience. Can you just start at a funeral home with no history in it? Thanks
"Body is put in a freezer" - How do you do a post-mortem on a frozen body? (The body goes into a refrigerator) I worked in a funeral home during my last two years in high school - the assertion that "They look on and laugh" is downright absurd. It might happen on very rare occasions in some funeral homes, but for a great percentage of employees, who consider this type of work a sacred trust, at some point the basics of the operation become routine. They don't have time to stand around and make special commentary about every single person brought in. Completely asinine. I stopped watching after this point.
Dear Joseph (Still around)......I AM your nice barber......BUT, cutting hair on the deceased is not my thing.......do this.....buy yourself a nice wig (in advance), and then you'll look super fab for your "viewing".......bye for now.....and It's time for your haircut right now!
I used to work in a funeral home. This is pretty spot on. The worse part is selling the funeral packages to the bereaved. Most of the time they are strong and reserved. other times they are a wailing mess that you need to try to comfort and sometimes you cant help but also feel for the families of the deceased.
I find death so disturbing. The part of your organs stopping, the fluids draining. Rigor mortis. leaving your body behind for someone else to care for. Knowing they'll be cutting you open. Imagining my body being tossed in a box thrown underground or burned. My name on an urn or tombstone is eerie. I guess I struggle with knowing such horrible things will happen and I cant control it or help myself outta it
Actually the medical examiner / coroner would have jurisdiction over unattended deaths. Such a death would go to the coroner or medical examiners office for an autopsy or death investigation, not the hospital for a doctor to deal with. I don't even want to start in on all the other things they got wrong. Such a shameful and false depiction of my work.
The wonderful lady who cut my family's hair was contracted out by a local funeral home to prepare the clients for their funeral. (She called them clients so I will too) She was in a room, alone, working on a client's hair when suddenly the body next to her, in it's casket, sat up. She remembered letting out this ghastly scream but she just froze. The mortician quickly came in, very calming told her, "Oh it happens all the time." Needless to say she was mortified, for weeks.
My uncle passed away suddenly. We came from a country where funeral is very family-oriented which mean family member do some of body cleaning. It's quite unsettling to not being able to see what's going on behind the close door. But at least they allow use to load the body into the burner. Thank you for letting us know.
I worked in a funeral directors for 18 months and it would be very difficult for someone to take something from a wallet as a proper trail is started from the very moment the body is collected, each time the body is moved the things are checked and logged so if anything went missing it would be obvious. Sometimes the family are there when the body is brought into care and the funeral director will check pockets and jewellery and give it straight back to the family so there is no finger pointing later on. Also the part where the man jumps out of the coffin, if anybody did do this they would not be in the business very long as working in the industry is not a joking matter and requires upmost respect and care for the deceased and their families.
I agree my grandpa has been working Miss dead bodies are either a funeral director or other sorts of that person he's also a verified license mortician he agrees with you it is very hard to steal anything from a body when when it's going through processes
@@DonnyDougherty I’m not scared of death it’s gonna happen what about my comment said anything about worrying I said age 65+ it gets closer and closer because it does

As a hospice nurse who regularly interacts with those in the funeral service and at the medical examiners office, thank you for what you do. This video misrepresented the field and the work that you all do to help families when they are grieving a loss. I've had so many interactions with people in the field and have never come across someone who didn't have a profound respect for both the deceased and the families that they work with. Every field has a few bad apples, but this is definitely never been my experience over many years as a hospice nurse.

Considering most people dont die of just old age I imagine this process is probably a lot more gross then we are even thinking it is. Imagine cutting open a deceased dead animal on the side of the road. A lot different than something from the butcher. Anyone who has this job is taking one for the team.
esp. if the body has been decomposing for a while, not everyone is found dead right away

When my sister died last Oct 2021, after 3 days of viewing she was cremated. The crematorium did not include the casket and asked us what to do on the casket. We just gave it to the Funeral Home. The body was put to the chamber including her dying clothes. After less than 2 hours, there are some bones not totally turned to ash. They were put in a grinder. The whole process was viewed by the family, thus some members don't want to be cremated when they die due to "painful" process. Told them that dead person will no longer feel the pain. Personally, I want to be cremated when my times come but to autopsy, I don't want it.

I’ve worked for a funeral home for 4 years now from pickup, assisting in the embalming process, all the way up to the end for services and burial. Some of this information is not accurate: 1. There are no “freezers”. The body is cold from refrigeration, but not frozen. 2. After an autopsy, the internal organs are not “repositioned,” but simply placed in a trash bag, then laid in the chest cavity before sowing up. 3. They completely left out the makeup part of preparation for a viewing after embalming and dressing. 4. Not every funeral home uses diapers. And lastly, 5. Caskets are reused if they are rental caskets.
yep lots wrong with the process here lol but it was fun!!
Rental caskets?!

How can you take anything with you or hide stuff in your body you can't take anything with you when you Die your dead for a reason when people are no longer with us here
I worked in a funeral home once and one thing this video missed was how they cut up the back of the clothing and literally drape it on top of the body. When you see a dead person in the casket you can pretty much assume that the back of their clothes have been cut up because it's not possible to dress them completely due to rigormortis
The detailed way he describes this entire process makes me wonder if he actually did this in the past... 🤔🤔
The details are completely false! I’m a mortician. This video is wrong .
@Metal Scarif this video is suposed to be about America funerals most of the details are wrong I've never gotten a body from the medical examiner 'clean' nor do they replace your organs in there proper place. Thay get put in a plastic bag all together and all that gets put in the cavity. after you get to the funeral home if the family wants embalming we do it right away theres no need to wait for the autopsy report.

My family has owned and operated multiple funeral homes since before I was born. My grandfather used to work late and listen to music on a old record player. Well one night I was there helping and my dad left to get something, I put a old record on and the corpse looked like it was smiling. My dad said sometimes temperature change or how the skin is pulled when handling them will make their faces do odd things. So when we got a elderly gentleman who was known for publicly shunning colored couples in town, I played 2Pac's "I get around" and the face was frowning so hard he was grinning in disgust.

The receptiacle that the body is placed into for cremation is called a retort and the ashes are called cremains. There was NEVER any theft from the deceased person when I was in funeral service and we treated the body with the respect it deserved.

I learned that a person do not have to get embalmed when they are going to be cremated and it is cheaper for the cost. Thank You.
Embalming has never been required. Its recommended when transporting a corpse across state lines (to avoid decomposition), but never necessary. If you watch Ask A Mortician, she'll tell you all about it.
Chinquita Lewis my mom requested no embalming. ( regular cemetery burial) They make it sound required cuz of $
You don’t need embalming if you’re burying either. Some families like the results, but others don’t. For ‘woodland’ or ‘green’ burial it’s required that the body is not embalmed.
Unless there is foul pray why is autopsy necessary.
What's the point being embalmed at all ...wether buried or cremated ...? You are not Toutanhamum
I am getting cremated like mom and dad. My dad worked in a morgue. That’s why he chose cremation! 😩
My uncle was a mortician back in the 60s and cremation was very unheard of back then. My uncle enjoyed his job and he worked in several funeral homes and when he got sick he was able to tell us (his family) which funeral home he wanted to be buried from and how he wanted his remains treated. He chose cremation as well, I too think that cremation is my way too!

I had my dad cremated in 2016 and when I got his remains there were curly wires that you were showing in them. In 1985 he had open heart surgery and they use those to close his ribs together and they were actually in the ashes sitting on top, but it’s funny my dad always talked about those things he would take my hand and put it on his chest and say “ son do you feel that that’s the wires they used to close my ribs.” so I was kind of weirded out.

Facts
I will say that our local funeral home is amazing. When my dad died at the hospital, it took forever for them to release him. I had to wait for a phone call so i could tell them that No, they couldn't have my 76 year old dad's eyes or anything else for that matter. It was 10 pm before i finally got that call. Bridges and Cameron went straight to get him immediately, in the middle of the night. Once i got there the next morning, he was already embalmed. None of his organs were removed. I asked. He wasn't cut on at all. I asked. He had been cut on enough. I couldn't ask for any better treatment of my dad. They were amazing. I will never use anyone else.
embalming is an ancient egyptian ritual and I doubt we know what is really done to the body and why. They seem to want to get at the blood.
Makes me glad I live in Sweden, where closed-coffin funerals are the default and you don't have all that embalming stuff. I never got what's the deal with embalming the dead if you aren't going to keep the mummies around forever to be put on display like Lenin, and open casket funerals just seemed needlessly ghoulish to me. I want to remember my loved ones as they were when they were alive, I don't want the last image I ever get to see of a loved one to be of their cold dead corpse.
Open coffin funerals are also about closure. Its definitely hard to see a loved one in there (even harder if you grab their hand and find it stiff and cold as ice) but the overwhelming sadness of the moment can help with the long term for some people.
@@jamesbarnes5769 Maybe for some, I know other people for whom such a moment would only make it all harder to handle. But it's not like closed casket funerals are sterile and emotion-free affairs, there's a portrait of the dead person and people are still crying and taking in the emotions and talking about their memories of them. When physically seeing and touching the deceased isn't an expected part of your culture, the vast majority of people in it simply don't feel they need to do that specific thing to process their emotions.
Plus I've heard lot's of embalming chemicals are both dangerous for the environment as well as the people working with handling the dead bodies, so for me at least that's another reason I am uneasy about the idea of embalmings.
That’s the point. They’ll fix your loved ones so they gonna look just like you remembered them.
@@blondbraid7986 Oh definitely. Been to both kinds and either way tears are shed for sure. Different cultures have different ways to deal with the grief and service. Grandmother in law passed recently and her husband fell to the ground in tears once he saw her. That might sound terrible (and it was) but it did make the rest of the service easier with such an intince moment of emotion already had. Typically in a open casket funeral the family/close friends comes in 30min prior to the public so they may grieve in peace so as to better receive the visitors paying there respect. Again both types are fine but our family has always practiced open casket typical of most Southerners in America.
I still want the coffin open, at least get a quick peek to make sure that they have the right person.
When I die before I leave this precious earth I would love to see everything that goes on with my earthly dead body and also I'm going to be checking up and in on all of my family members and love ones that are still alive on earth and let everybody know including my Beautiful Father and my Mother and to the rest of the family and everybody all around across the world it is okay to Cry

it is unfortunately children the end is inevitable, so enjoy every second of your life in the right way so as not to regret it later at the wrong time, for those who want to live a little longer I suggest you donate your organs and stay alive for a longer time on earth and in most of the time making another child happy for the time they should deserve 😁👍🏼

How will donating your organs help you stay alive longer ? 🤨
I got an oculys quest today!
Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Yes donate your organs so doctors have a reason to not save you and harvest your organs before you die.
I worked in a funeral home and assisted a few embalming. And if anyone took any personal belongings of the deceased they were fired. That was number 1 rule No Taking Any Items unless specified by the family to do so like jewelry, or metal fillings like gold or silver, etc and give those to the family.
I agree no decent human being would do something like that

Interesting, by law, I need to tell my clients all of these details when preparing a contract for disposition, so nothing is a secret. I worked in the removal end of the funeral business for over 10 years and never once did we help ourselves to the belongings of the deceased. The incision in the chest for an autopsy is made with a scalpel... the bone saw ( not a rusty hacksaw) is used to cut through the ribs only.

What I find interesting is they did an autopsy on his body so it would be different in the embalming process. Nothing to puncture. Also, my mother wanted to be cremated. My funeral director did not say she needed to be embalmed. Once the hospital released her, they took her body to the crematorium. Her funeral was her ashes in the urn. I have seen funeral homes not giving that option but it is there. No embalming necessary for direct cremation.
Embalming is not mandatory.

My lil 15 year old cousin was murdered june 10th 2021, yesterday was her open casket and i bawled my eyes out. as my aunt and i drove to the funeral what was sad and what made my stomach turn was the hurst that was carrying her was right behind us it hurt a lot and i got instant chills. than I saw her and it didnt even look like herself at all she looked older and gone. Then when we were leaving I saw her casket being carried back into the hurst and ready for cremation. A sad depressing process tbh and its horriying, tramautizing, and heartbreaking to see her body in person and to know that she was cremated.

LuminaryPrism75 Me too...
How do these embalmers have the guts to work with dead people, that is one of my biggest fears
They make bucks! and they basically go to med school like a doctor but a year or two less, so, to them, it's more like a hospital/medical environment which interests a lot of people. And again, they make big bucks and work alone and don't have to deal with annoying managers and creepy coworkers. They don't get any grief from their client so it's probably pretty cool except when there is a child involved or a really rotted body that stinks. Then it's all about Lysol and air freshener and cleaning that mess up to honor the dead person.
Alison B yeah I would much rather work around dead bodies over alive people anyday. The dead won’t hurt you. It’s the living that you should be worried about
Alison B embalmers don’t go to medical school, they go to mortuary school. You’re probably thinking of medical examiners, who do go to medical school.
Compare to a surgeon only thing after surgery patient usually wakes up the surgeon mortician doesn't worry about his patients waking up!!!..
My mom used to say, "The dead won't hurt you, but they can make you hurt yourself! "
This is for the people who died during the "worst punishments," isn't it.
This happens at most funeral homes
Going to a funeral has destroyed me on how I feel about them. My wife and daughter passed away in 2013 and when I saw my wife after the funeral home fixed her up, she looked bloded but was still gorgeous. She looked peaceful. Which gave me some peace but ill never go to another one again. Thank God my mom and dad wants to be cremated and doesn't care about a funeral.

All of the stuff on this video is true, and was vocabulary I was exposed to and surrounded with during my entire childhood. Quite a creepy childhood... we used to play hide and seek in the casket selection room, we would eat dinner while my dad was in the next room embalming a body, and I walked in on many autopsies by accident. I currently am typing this inside the office of the F.H as I spend many evenings studying here with our WiFi. I do not live in here anymore but my father continues to run our local funeral home to this day. I’d love to answer some questions if anyone has any.
Hey what's up? I'm thinking of working for a cemetery. This uh business had always been interesting to me. It is an important profession obviously. I guess if I had a question it would be this. What can you do in this field with no schooling or experience. Can you just start at a funeral home with no history in it? Thanks
Any paranormal activity while living there?
Autopsies in a funeral home?
Once the body parts needed removed those that are not damaged what happens
As soon as you said autopsy in the funeral home I knew you were a liar.
"Body is put in a freezer" - How do you do a post-mortem on a frozen body? (The body goes into a refrigerator)
I worked in a funeral home during my last two years in high school - the assertion that "They look on and laugh" is downright absurd. It might happen on very rare occasions in some funeral homes, but for a great percentage of employees, who consider this type of work a sacred trust, at some point the basics of the operation become routine. They don't have time to stand around and make special commentary about every single person brought in. Completely asinine.
I stopped watching after this point.
It I know got worse from there. My husband is a funeral home director and ranted this entire video.
"You died, B U M M E R."
**coffin dance plays at a distance**
Imagine liking your comment
Stop the comment
Rigor is gone in 24 hrs. He already had the autopsy when you said " your body has rigormortis ". No. Long gone by then.
Me: "Do you mind if I say a word?"
Widow: "Please do."
Me: clears throat "Plethora."
Widow: "Thank you. That means a lot."
Lol.
When I die, I want my barber to give me a fresh haircut.
most people are given a fresh haircut before the viewing :-)
@@emmib1388my hair would be hard to do
Dear Joseph (Still around)......I AM your nice barber......BUT, cutting hair on the deceased is not my thing.......do this.....buy yourself a nice wig (in advance), and then you'll look super fab for your "viewing".......bye for now.....and It's time for your haircut right now!
I used to work in a funeral home. This is pretty spot on. The worse part is selling the funeral packages to the bereaved. Most of the time they are strong and reserved. other times they are a wailing mess that you need to try to comfort and sometimes you cant help but also feel for the families of the deceased.
I stuffed myself with popcorn kernels before I died
Same
How are you commenting this when you are dead? Are you a ghost?
@@goosemann2389 i don't even know if i can whoosh your comment
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nah, I'm gonna insist my pockets are filled with firecrackers before I go up in smoke.
Unknown Secret: They dance with your coffin
Yes, my whole room is a river full of tears because of this. At least now I know that my father didn't get any last harm from all of the staff.
Here is a note for myself: Never ever die!
I find death so disturbing. The part of your organs stopping, the fluids draining. Rigor mortis. leaving your body behind for someone else to care for. Knowing they'll be cutting you open. Imagining my body being tossed in a box thrown underground or burned. My name on an urn or tombstone is eerie. I guess I struggle with knowing such horrible things will happen and I cant control it or help myself outta it
Whell, they won't be your ashes in the urn they will be the coffins ashes insteed. DO NOT HAVE A COFFIN WASTED
Remember this comment when your time has come you’ll be at peace
Trust me, your not the only one.
This is not the funeral home. This would be the pathologist.
Exactly Kari.. I hate how things like this misinform people 🤦🏻♀️
They said an autopsy would have been done before transferring to funeral home
Actually the medical examiner / coroner would have jurisdiction over unattended deaths. Such a death would go to the coroner or medical examiners office for an autopsy or death investigation, not the hospital for a doctor to deal with. I don't even want to start in on all the other things they got wrong. Such a shameful and false depiction of my work.
mortygal they seem to get a lot of info wrong on many subjects then need to get it straight if they are putting it to the masses
The wonderful lady who cut my family's hair was contracted out by a local funeral home to prepare the clients for their funeral. (She called them clients so I will too) She was in a room, alone, working on a client's hair when suddenly the body next to her, in it's casket, sat up. She remembered letting out this ghastly scream but she just froze. The mortician quickly came in, very calming told her, "Oh it happens all the time." Needless to say she was mortified, for weeks.
My uncle passed away suddenly. We came from a country where funeral is very family-oriented which mean family member do some of body cleaning. It's quite unsettling to not being able to see what's going on behind the close door. But at least they allow use to load the body into the burner. Thank you for letting us know.
I worked in a funeral directors for 18 months and it would be very difficult for someone to take something from a wallet as a proper trail is started from the very moment the body is collected, each time the body is moved the things are checked and logged so if anything went missing it would be obvious. Sometimes the family are there when the body is brought into care and the funeral director will check pockets and jewellery and give it straight back to the family so there is no finger pointing later on. Also the part where the man jumps out of the coffin, if anybody did do this they would not be in the business very long as working in the industry is not a joking matter and requires upmost respect and care for the deceased and their families.
But not for a loaded metrocard: Who's going to interested for a metrocard, it won't be that obvious than other items.
I agree my grandpa has been working Miss dead bodies are either a funeral director or other sorts of that person he's also a verified license mortician he agrees with you it is very hard to steal anything from a body when when it's going through processes
That’s it. I’m not going to die. I didn’t give consent for them to be invading my body
Once you reach ages 65+ it just gets closer and closer
@@StockTurboN20 You're not going to feel anything because you're dead, so why worry. Just because this video showed this, doesn't mean it's true.
@@DonnyDougherty I’m not scared of death it’s gonna happen what about my comment said anything about worrying I said age 65+ it gets closer and closer because it does
@@StockTurboN20 Death can come at any age. You are not guaranteed to live a full life
@NoOneCares I’m well aware it can come at any age I’m not scared of death you won’t know when it happens anyway
“you died. bummer!”
is such a funny line for some reason. all the depression, pain, and grieving from loved ones and all that’s just wrapped up in, “bummer”
and this is coming from someone who almost lost her mom
