I have been very ill for sometime until major weight Loss of over a 100 pounds so far. I was terrified of dying because I was afraid of the funeral home process. Today because of your awesome videos I am no longer afraid. It just seemed so barbaric to be only because I didn't know what you all do. The level of respect and care even after death is amazing. Thank you for being so kind and educating the world with these amazing videos. I seriously could do this for a career I think. Very intriguing.
You are welcome
Yet after you die , you have no ideal what goes on . Yr comment is kinda stupid .God takes you when he's ready !
@@KaritheMorticianI just love your videos,and the most amazing thing is I love you so much and I don't know why,😊❤❤
@@KaritheMorticianI think you are morbid and enjoy your work to much this is scary how so you sleep at night I'd be terrified 😢
Larry I hope you're doing better man!
Kari, that was the most real and detailed explanation. Good job to both of you. When I was in my undergrad, I had to take communications. Big grade was on demonstration speech. I used freezer paper and drew a 6 foot body, added all the systems to it, laminated it and EMBALMED it. The class was huge and frightened. The professor was a small Franciscan Nun. I had needles with different color yarns for different fluids, etc. When I got to the trocar part, the nun fainted. I DID get an A!
Haha! Too funny!
@@KaritheMortician Yes, that was definitely a great one and a funny one!
That was very imaginative! Sounds like you got your point across very well!
Sounds like a super creative set of visual aids and a great speech but I find it hard to believe the professor/nun fainted. 🤨
That was very creative!! Love it. Glad you got an A!
Takes a very special person to be able to embalm the deceased. I was accepted to a mortuary science school in 1992. I did not pursue the career after all due to having a life changing event that caused anxiety and panic attacks.
This profession takes an absolute angel. Thank you for being a blessing to so many families.
I majored general studies and ended up pursuing mortuary science. I threw up and fainted multiple times but I’m building tolerance and I just remind myself that I am doing this because I give the most respect and honors to the dead.
I was also the youngest amongst my class
@@evanm6739what did you see that made you faint or vomit.
@@evanm6739i’m thinking about pursuing something in this industry myself, i was curious on how they’d react to you fainting or feeling ill, i’m guessing it’s quite common after all? i don’t want to be disrespectful to any of the deceased so it was a worry.
I couldn’t agree more. Nothing but respect for these people! I couldn’t do it.
My daughter, 25yrs old, is a funeral director and licensed embalmer. Through college and job, she tells me so much. Some may not want to hear, I find it fascinating, as I love science and the human body. She explains things, but seeing thi video helps me to fully understand. I love your candor and honesty, yet discreetness for the deceased and their families. ❤
Btw, my daughter never shares with me details or names of the deceased til after it’s gone public. She is a true professional, like you.
More torture to my broken body for these reasons I am heading towards cremation. I do no want my body to go through all these horrible pocking and sticking huge needles going through me. I believe in the old Greek customs set 2 gold counting my eyes and cremated me. I'll be at peace to😢😢😢😢😢
I am 72 years old, and it is past time that I make my final death plans. I am compiling a file called "Disposition" that includes many of your videos. Thank you so much for clarifying and simplifying the after death process. You have enabled many to make informed decisions
Thinking ahead, you might not want to provide links to the videos. What if she takes her channel down? What if TH-cam goes away? You don't want your family to rely on a video that may not be there.
When we get older we make retirement plans here on earth, but it seems no one thinks about making retirement plans after death on where they want to spend eternity. Today is the day of Salvation in JESUS. No one can get to HEAVEN without him. So everyone needs to be making eternal retirement plans with Jesus before we get to this embalming process.
@@kittymistique6117 I agree let’s worry more about our soul.
@@kittymistique6117 Read the old testament. If the people there can get to heaven without praying to Jesus, then we can. If genocidal warlocks in there can get into heaven then we can as well.
@@doyoulikedags3534
First off…I have read the entire Bible. God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit are all the same person. God can down in the flesh as Jesus. So of course God forgave sins in the Old Testament. Now about this genocide mess…NO SIN will enter into the kingdom of Heaven unless they FIRST must get forgiveness of sins from JESUS CHRIST.. read The New Testament… especially John3:16: for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life.
Wow Kari, this is probably one of your best videos. Not that all of your other videos aren't great, but the thought and detail both you and Chris gave in this one was amazing. I haven't seen a video like this done before here on TH-cam. I hope you realize how much the hard work you put into these videos really helps students like me and those who might be interested in entering the field. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and I hope to see more video's like this in the future!
Very excellent presentation. Us old school practioners didn't use a drain tube very much. We preferred the forceps inserted into the jugular vein to get the drainage going and that was sufficient. Great instructional video!
This was freaking FASCINATING!! Love your creativity with showing detailed steps without using a body.
Mouth closure: eventually I'll get that septum piercing, I'll just be dead when it happens.
Not me, cremation is my choice.
Thank you for doing this.
I will say it has sealed the deal on a full natural/green burial for me.
I have finally received my acceptance letter for funeral director here in Canada. I start September 2020. You provide such valuable information that will be so beneficial when I start school and , I hope to carry this information throughout my program. I also recently sent a join request to your Facebook group. I am so excited for this new chapter in my life. Thank you for your inspiration
Wonderful!!
Kari also kudo's to the " embalmer" he did a great job in explaining in an easy to understand format:)
No one is looking forward to having this done to them however this has taken a lot of the mystery out of what goes on. Kari you're the prettiest corpse Ive ever seen. LOL. Thanks
I'll be in HEAVEN and won't care what they do to my temporary vehicle. This is a time killed because the mystery to get serious about us what is going to happen to you, the real you not your flesh body, your eternal soul after you go because most of your time occurs afterwards so much more this life is like getting in line but you'll spend a long long long long long long long time somewhere.
I found proof JESUS CHRIST was real and HE paid my way into HEAVEN, I accepted and submit to HIM and saw a vision of my eternal home in HEAVEN and I'm excited!
Don't make the wrong decision listening to the popular fools of the world because you determine now, by then it's to late to deal with. A fool says I'll deal with it then, deal with what it's now or never.
@@Smitty-op4ld Do you wear a cotton-polyester blend? You're going to hell. Do you have a slave that doesn't obey you? Pierce his ear, otherwise, you're both going to hell.
If you have a flat nose or are blind or lame, you can't go to the altar of God and so, you're almost definitely going to hell.
If someone in your family is an atheist or believes in some other God, you have to stone them to death, otherwise you're going to hell.
If you find out a city worships a different god, destroy the city and kill all of its inhabitants, even the animals. Otherwise you're going to hell.
Kill anyone with a different religion, otherwise you're going to hell.
This is all from the Bible and if this is what it takes to go to heaven, I'd rather go to hell.
Titanic Enthusiast u are one of the fools he is typing about smh
That was so interesting and the professionalism is notorious. Thank you so much Kari and Chris for taking the time to create this quality content!
I’m 25 and want to be a mortician! This video is one of the best I’ve seen! Thank you so much for this!
Thank you!!
Kari this whole process , shows how vitally important math and science is .
Thank you Ma'am for sharing , this is very educational 👏
Wow, this is quite a process. Now I understand why the costs of funerals are Soo high. You are fabulous.
Thanks so much!
I just keep coming back to this video I am just absolutely thrilled you guys did this for us. Beyond fascinating and you guys really did such a great job!! I am probably over commenting on everything I am just so excited and I cannot wait to start my studies and get my career going in this line of work & may God bless me (I am hoping) with the abilities that Kari has! She is an inspiration and just a hero!! An amazing strong woman who I just hope one day to imitate & follow to help others also. I just can't say thank you enough Kari ❤
Wow! You are a great teacher! I love your teachings. Have always been scared of embalming and also think that some parts of the deceased's body parts are removed but know I understand better. More grace and blessings to you, ma'am.
thank you
This was a really great idea! I’m so glad that you are bringing this information out because people are curious, but it’s always been considered a morbid curiosity by society. Can hardly wait until the next one! Thank you both for your professionalism and your humor for making it fun.👍🏻
Thank you for such a detailed and specific demonstration of the embalming process. This is the first video I've seen that shows and explains thing so thoroughly. The photographs really helped to actually see what you were conveying. Embalmers have to be scientists, biologists, chemists, anatomists, cosmetologists, as well as artists!!! It takes very special people to do this essential work and I commend those who are able to do such skilled tasks. I am also pleased to know that so many women have chosen this career path that for many years was dominated by males. The mortician my family worked with when our mother passed away was a young lady who did an amazing job. She was kind, sensitive and respectful, yet not morbid nor foreboding and then carried out the actual embalming and preparation of our beloved mother and presented her in such a beautiful, regal manner for our last visual memory of her. We will be forever grateful to her.
ABSOLUTELY MOST PROFESSIONAL, RESPECTABLE TEACHING VIDEO
You’re braver than I am to lay on that table. I think this is the best one on TH-cam. Very tastefully done.
Why are we so afraid of a table that a deceased person was once on? I don't get it. Spend so time with a corpse and you will see there is nothing to be afraid of.
@@David49305 maybe he means he wouldn't be brave enough to trust that the mortician would only show the instruments and wouldn't actually just embalm him alive 🤣
That is a lot of work, wow I never imagined how involved it was. Neither of my parents were embalmed and my husband and I are going to be cremated. Thank you.
Thank you!
Kari you and the gentleman gave the best demonstration of embalming I have seen. I guess you can tell this was my dream job I was already and my wife couldn’t handle me embalming. I was more attracted to the funeral directors position, I was blessed with the ears to listen closely and get a family to a compromise that was acceptable to everyone. I settled for Funeral Florist this brought a lot of comfort and harmony to the family. I sent single roses to the FH for the burial complimentary when I did any family flowers. Enough to cover the folks mentioned in the obituary. Was a nice touch. I saw the roses in peoples homes years later.
Thank you so much!!
My grandad died three days ago and this evening I suddenly got very confused with the thought of what has been done to preserve his body and it made me really sad. Your video has been very helpful for me in processing his death. Thank you.
Thank you
Kari this was wonderful. I'm two classes away from getting my degree in FSE and I'm currently in Lab and Theory one, (I'll be in lab/theory 2 in a couple months). We embalm one body a week at school and this video was very well done and respectful. Obviously anyone not in the real thing can't see the "harder" side of things, but to help shed light on the over-all process this was wonderful. I also learned quite a bit myself watching this. (I honestly didn't know, nor have heard about the upper female anatomy part), but I will be asking about it this week in school. (So far we've only embalmed males as we haven't received a female yet). Anyway, just wanted to say thank you very much. This was informative and very well done. :)
I am 71 and have learned so much watching you the last year.
I'm glad you've found it informative. Thanks for watching.
Kari this was magnificent! Everything was explained so perfectly and respectfully. Lots of interesting material here. I really loved this! Thank you for the education.
Fascinating video. Very informative. Both of you are skilled professionals.
So, basically I am going to have the breasts I always wanted...I just have to die first. Great video Kari! You are always so informative and it's so appreciative.
You know I’m a retired Firefighter/Paramedic I’ve worked on all kinds of bad trauma. But being a coward of death I couldn’t finish watching you always amaze me with your videos and your knowledge and professionalism
Kari Northey about half way then my hair started too stand
@@richcarnaggio1525 -- I think your reaction is completely normal for a healthy, vibrant person. It takes a certain kind of personality to distance yourself from what is being done. No criticism or insult implied at all to you, sir. As a retired Surgical RN your reaction is something I saw frequently among folks coming into the OR. My eyes used to water when we did eye surgery. After some time it stopped happening. Just a bit of information to help you understand. Hope this makes sense. Thank you for your service to people who were in desperate need. You guys and gals are awesome!
OceanSwimmer thank you for the compliment and thanks for not judging my phobia
Kari Northey I will finish it today hey what’s to fear where all going to meet in another 🌎 world hopefully it will be kinder and beautiful
@@richcarnaggio1525 well said, my dear! May our creator (I was raised to call God) Give you & yours, many blessings!🙏💖🌹
I have been curious about what goes on in funeral homes during embalming since I was a child. Thank you for sharing a video of how everything works.
OMG! This video was awesome!! I loved how you and Chris actually showed us what exactly has to be done and why it is needed.This is the first time I have heard about the breasts, I never realized that. Thank you both so much for doing this excellent video for us! :)
Great video Kari, Guess I am 1 of those people that wants to know what is going to happen to my body once I die, and you're video really goes into detail. My thanks to you both.
Very educational for those of us who are considering work in the field of death care.
I just found this video. It helped me come a long way in getting rid of my fear of death. Thank you for that. Now if I can only get over my fear of cremation!
You are so welcome!
Wow...
What a great video!
I knew about a lot of these steps but not all!
It definitely takes a very special person to do this job. ❤️ Thankful for you all!
thank you!
The pain that I have as a hospice nurse is not being able to close the mouth which was very disturbing to the family and myself. I can’t forget the pain it caused the family. Unfortunately I am left forever with my patients image left to myself and the family. I always wanted to leave peace and beauty on my family’s
Its alot of work! My biggest fear would be the body turning green or blue or some wild color on me! I am highly considering this line of work. Thanks for the video! Well done guys.
My sister and I have a pact that when either of us pass first we'll go to the nursing home and pluck all our chin and nose hairs! Nice to know we won t have to! This was very good at showing the process. I always thought I'd love to see an autopsy. After seeing the arteries lifted, well let's just say I'm so glad I never did!!
As a 35 year old that had decided years ago I wanted to be cremated, as does my husband, I still appreciate your informative and superbly professional videos. So fascinating! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so very much! Yes,it was tearful for me because I lost my mother over a year ago but wanted and had to know what they did for her. Also saw just before this one your answer to the question how long it takes an embalmed person to decompose. I know that in addition to her casket she(and my dad) were placed inside a cement- like box so it might help.
Thank you again.
You are so welcome
Very VERY interesting!! I have had an interest in this type of subject for a very long time!!! Learning about the pulse mode was VERY INTERESTING!!!
This is probably my favorite video you've made so far! Creative and interesting!!! Thanks for the work you put in your channel .
WARNING! 1:36 Video time. I think people’s greatest fear happened during the video at 1:36! I am a hospice nurse and families frequently ask, “do you think he/she will wake up?” Or “I think I see his/her chest moving”. Great video! I learned so much!
thank you
Absolutely fascinating! From the very first visitation/funeral I can consciously remember, this field has intrigued me... I think I'm a bit old to start now but a funeral assistant would be something I'd be very interested in pursuing.
thank you!
Very very well done. Thanks for making a nice clean presentation of this procedure. Thank you thank u
You are very welcome
This is so interesting my grandfather passed last week and I was wondering how this worked
this brought back memories of my first embalming lab! i can't wait to complete my second lab in October! thanks Kari!
Great way to respectfully direct us through the embalming process. Fascinating to me. I was eating a tuna sandwich while I was watching and got tickled at myself wondering if I could manage that in real life. Lol. I love all of your videos. I’m realizing more and more that this should have been my profession. I’m going to start looking around for any jobs in the funeral industry around here that wouldn’t require me to go to school. We only have one school in Louisiana and that’s in New Orleans. I live in the top northwest corner of the state. Not possible.
Hello Susan! If you are thinking about going to school. There is schools that offer online classes. I start mine in April of 2019.
Da Real Dj Rob what school are you going to be using? I’ve tried looking around some, but haven’t really found anything yet.
@@susancaroline927 hello!.. so sorry for late reply. The school is called. Commonwealth Institute of Funeral Service. It's in Houston , TX.
Da Real Dj Rob thank you so much. I will certainly be looking it up and checking it out.
@@KaritheMortician Thank you so much, I will be more than honored to join.
This is very fascinating. I appreciate you taking the time to make these videos to shed some light on the mystery of what happens to the body after one passes on. I find it very therapeutic.
Glad you enjoyed it!
My son is looking to enter the field of being a mortician. Needless to say I will be forwarding him a link to this incredibly comprehensive video. Thank you from extreme upstate New York. If he finds this interesting, I am sure that he will have picked a great career field.
Awesome!! He can email me if he needs help!
Such an amazing video the work you’ve two put into this really shows thanks so much!
Way back in 1986
my girlfriend at that time
told me that her aunt and her cousins
All work in the funeral business
also did full embalming services from A to Z
a funeral home located in the island of Puerto Rico
they were doing very well financially in the mid 1980s
I truly believe that this is extremely honorable vocation
it's also to some extent inflation proof employment
Way back in 1983 when my grandmother passed away the funeral director was so polite and so professional
The funeral director such a blessing in the whole family's time of grief
I was impressed but his demeanor
his knowledge
his natural down mannerisms
I was extremely impressed by him
his profession
sparked a lot of curiosity in me as a Young Man
I truly curious and knowledge hungry
In my mind
I even think as of today
what if
I had an apprenticeship with intentions to achieve an education
a Associates in this vocation
Under this wise funeral director
but I was too young I just turned 18
I was always fascinated by different types of odd Sciences
As well as embalming
Nice I was enlighten as I has a fear of seeing or being around a dead body. Give me a better understanding and eased my fear.
Thanks so much!!
Right side the money side ! I know I work in funeral homes as well . Great job !
Thank you
Wow! That was really eye opening, very informative, but somewhat disturbing! I had no idea that the process was so intense with so much being done. Will you do a video from that process on as to how the body is dressed? Thank you for sharing!
The family brings in clothes, and we put a diaper on the body to stop leaking. Then 2 people put the underwear on them, to get the underwear and pants all the way on, we lift the legs up high. Then we cut the shirt down the back, slide it over both arms, tuck it under the body, and stitch the back of the collar together.
Susan Callahan yes they cover it with a modesty cloth
Thank you for this informative video! I’ve never really been that curious about this process until the recent passing of my father. I had only ever seen a human corpse one other time in an open casket funeral prior to that and I was only 2 years old and do not remember much about it and did not feel the need to physically touch or hold my passed on loved one the same way until my fathers viewing. I was so shocked at how hard and cold the skin was and was overall curious of the process so this was an interesting video for me to see now that I’ve been able to process some of my feelings and try and learn and understand more about the process. Thank you for the informative video. Definitely something I could never do as a job but I greatly commend those who do this to help honour and respect the deceased and their loved ones
thank you
Wonderful video!! There are so many details to think of! Thank you for all of the info! God Bless!
Thanks Kari. Seeing this done for the first time I found it quite a shock but you have educated me and I’m very grateful. You are just the prettiest model body x
Thank you Kari. This gave me even more insight as to what the process was like for mom. I'm really grateful that you put yourself on the table for us(me).whey to do a wonderful demo lol! You go.
I lost my parents 10 mts apart, Hardest 2 funerals I had to ever make decisions for, I was with my dad when he past and he past with his mouth opened, my momma she past at home, I was on my way when she past, when I got there she past with her mouth open also and her hands was already laying the way you put the hands 😭😭, my question is, why was their mouths open for? Is it where you relax?
I cried on this cause my Momma hated needles or anything Surgical that had to happen at the doctor or surgery, I didn't know they did all this to my parents but they looked so good at their viewing, the director who embalmed them both did an amazing job.
I also thought I would pass out cause I can't handle this kind of stuff, but you 2 did an amazing job at showing how this process goes. Thank you both so much.
And I have one question, when you go to the funeral and see a person, what is the smell? It's not a bad smell just a smell you can't explain. Not sure if it's just the funeral home setting or the makeup..
I am so sorry for so much heartbreak in a short time! Yes your mouth is naturally opened so most people have an open mouth when they die. The smell could be chemicals, powders, cosmetics, or a number of other things.
Thank you, It has made me a stronger person and I think of them everyday, I got to be strong for my son cause they was such a big part of his life.. His 12 now and we talk about them all the time. It helps.
I dread funerals cause of that smell, but everyone tells me they don't smell it..
Kari, I am a first semester mortuary student and I have spent the past few nights binge watching your videos and this one is my absolute FAVORITE so far! You & chris are both so informative and detailed in your explanations. I just love your videos and cannot wait to be doing this one day! thanks for the great content!!!
Kari Northey no I’m not but I will go join!!
😃 Happy embalming to you ! 🌾
This was fascinating, but if more people saw it, and knew how invasive embalming actually is, they wouldn't want this for themselves or their loved ones. I'm so glad my mother refused embalming. The thought of her being put through this would make me sick. I'm going with green burial for myself.
@@KaritheMortician No disrespect to you personally, Kari. But organ donation saves lives. Embalming and viewing, to me, is just selfish and done for the living. People can say goodbye to a closed casket. The person is still dead. I'd rather remember my loved one as they were than pumped full of toxic chemicals and made up. When my ex's grandma passed away, they had a huge Catholic funeral and she had a rosary and viewing and this expensive looking copper casket. All I could think was "What a waste!". So many flowers came from people who never bothered to visit her when she was alive. It seemed like the funeral was more for show than anything else. I was horrified because I had no way of getting out of going (it was my first funeral) and granny didn't look like herself. She looked at least 20 years younger and was covered with orange makeup. It was hideous.
I understand what your saying. I don't like the idea of me getting embalmed when I pass away. I want a direct cremation, was just wondering if you have to be embalmed if you get cremated?
I am too, Caroline. Viewing has to be done quicker so gases in the body don't bloat the person - one draw back to not embalming. I want to be gently laid on cloth and covered with a shroud at a natural preserve location that my remains help fertilize the earth. I think the more we are educated, the more comfortable we can feel about the process and concentrate on living our lives with our families and friends, knowing that one day we will all be in this position. We are not alone - mainly, I know that God is with me and my spirit. I am relieved and impressed by the respect the embalmers are as they treat the bodies with dignity. Thank you very much.
Personally, I'd have no problem embalming my mother or father. I know it's invasive, but seeing the looks of closure, and hearing them talk about how good they look is worth it for me. And even though I'm comfortable with the thought of being embalmed, I'd rather have a green burial. I don't know why, I guess I'm just a hippie who loves nature too much to be buried with chemicals.
@@shelleyannrittinger7984 No, when we pick up someone who is a cremation, we just stick you into a big fridge until we can run you to the crematory.
Extremely educational and thorough thank you
Happy New Year 2023 from Central Florida💗
Happy new year!
Thank you so much for this! I'm going to school for this soon after working as a body removal attendant for almost a year and this was very informative.
You're so welcome!
LIke others, I found this informative and most professionally and respectfully presented. Thanks for making a mysterious and scary practice much more relatable. Thanks for your time and devotion to helping families come to informed decisions about pre-need and at-need care.
Thank you
This was helpful, I've just made burial arrangements, and I wasn't quite sure which choice to make btwn burial or cremation. Scary, but thank you 😊
I've been watching your videos for years. I've never seen this one. So interesting!
Thanks, Kari for removing the mystery for those of us who always wanted to know. I appreciate this; it was Very well done!👍🏾
A star indeed. Your humour made it even more personal. Great Thankyou. Your best video so far I think indeed.
Guys that was GREAT!!!!!
Thank you so much
Great video. It helps when the deceased can hold the hose and look amazingly beautiful while doing it.
So informative! Love the creativity and how well everything was explained! Just love your channel!
This stuff have the body so hard🥺I will never forget that feeling when I touched my baby bro,,riip Joseph ♥️💔💔💔
thank you for sharing
Your video was getting right to the point. I am want to start taking classes very soon so I can get my licenses to be able to embom I have always been very intrigued about the anatomy of the body
Thank you!
Kari and Chris, this was such an excellent video; tastefully and professionally done. Once again Kari, you have demystified what happens behind closed doors. The lay person's mind probably imagines far worse things. I hope sometime you will do a video of facial reconstruction with the wax or plastic compounds.
Excellent presentation! Thank you so much!
Thank you!
I love the way you brokedown the process its very informative and i didn't feel scared
Thank you for doing this video! I’m a FD student and love learning everything I can!
You are so welcome!
Amazing! I had no idea of the total procedure!
All questions answered. You’re a good sport , Kari. Who knows how many future morticians were once your subscribers.
Thanks so much and thanks for watching.
What an intriguing concept for a video. Awesome
Glad you liked it
This was fantastic! I would be super interested in another video where the irregularities are discussed. Such as autopsy or even how do you color correct jaundice? Also when Chris was talking about the pressure and flow rate, he mentioned that it could puff out features, could that be used almost like tissue builder? Also is there a way to remove tissue builder if you do too much?
Because I heard of embalming in the home. I am fascinated by the information regarding such
I hope I live forever; you’re one lady I hope I never meet in person. Happy to subscribe 😊
Very interesting. Liked the way he showed all of the steps to embalming.
Thank you
What a beautiful array of Champion Fluids..... Kudos to this embalmer.. Point of reference, Champion's has no 100% Glutaraldehyde fluids, anymore(not since the 50's)... all of the 2nd gen fluids are lower exposure HCHO with a base.
Great info!
Great video. While this process is hard there is a need for is in a lot of cases. You made a great “body” it was helpful seeing it from the table and not just pic or a dummy.
This was such a great way to illustrate the process. Thanks so much for sharing. Very interesting!
Hello Kari, can you please show us or tell us some more about cosmetics on the deceased
There's not much to tell, we just use makeup and wax to cover some of the bad looking spots.
I too hope she does a in depth video of cosmetics on the deceased! Thanks for requesting this
Thank you for making this video!
Very informative video,you discussed things that I would not have ever thought about.thanks again and kee the videos coming.
In the year 2012, I took a tour of a Funeral home nearby, a month after my sister passed away. All my life, I've had a massive interest in the funeral business, ESPECIALLY EMBALMING! On the 9th of January 2012, which was a cold, but Sunny Monday morning, I went to our local funeral home, and stepped into the embalming room. I held the hose of a Pierce embalming machine. It was a yellow hose. We placed a cannula onto the hose, and I injected water into the sink, imagining that I was embalming a body. I also held a Trocar in my hands, whilst it was connected to suction. I took as a Suvenere, the short tubing that connects the cavity fluid to the Trocar home with me. I had that Suvenere with me for quite a while until something happened to it. I think Mom threw it away. I carried it around with me everywhere. LOL! I LOVE the study of embalming!
So cool you got to experience that!
Very interesting Kari you did an amazing job and thank you for sharing you answered a lot of my Questions
Thank you Kari for the videos you are awesome
thank you
So informative. I have been a fan for quite a while. I think I have seen most if not all of their videos. This is my favorite one by far. Great job!! Brave chick climbing up on that table. With my big mouth I wouldn't have been able to just lay there and be quiet. 😏. Looking forward to more videos!
Watching ur videos have made me fear death a little less🥰
Oh Kari, your head does not look comfortable. Thanks to the two of you for an informative video.
Thank you both,from the Netherlands 🙏
