🕊Sending love and condolences to anyone that has lost a loved one. 🕊 This is a positive space of love and healing 💗
Greetings and welcome to my channel Ms. Mortuary where we will explore the Funeral Home industry and more. This channel gives insight to families and licensed beauty professionals or barber stylists regarding final preparations for deceased loved ones. I will also share helpful hair and makeup tips for embalmers, or funeral directors who serve through preparation and presenting decedents to their loved ones. I will also share information about entering the field and working behind the scenes at a funeral home.

You made this video very fun, realistic, honest and relatable. I have a relative who was hired to drive a hearse in the early 90's: they made him get three suits in different colors. He was cool with the gig, until he had to go to the funeral home one night...............alone! He went in the prop room, the body was sitting up (either from gas trapped inside or being positioned for the casket), and he quit soon after. He never saw any embalming, but from other graphic videos I've watched on here, the trocar process is what seems to traumatize most people who are not in the industry. For me, I already have my burial plan in place and I want direct cremation. I know that many people need the final viewing as closure, but I don't like the whole embalming process and then rotting in the ground: that's money wasted to me. But I truly appreciate what you do, and how you take time to explain the process to families and people interested in the industry. We must all pass this way.
you are such a beautiful person, i wish i could hug you! i've always wanted to become a funeral director and sadly that did not happen, but i feel like a mortuary cosmetologist is a calling for me, thank you for sharing your story and being a voice for the dead <3
This was very helpful, I am a full time cosmetologist , my specialty is hair and I’m not really into makeup but I can apply it well. I’m going to do my granny hair and makeup and I’ve been preparing myself and I found you. Thank you for your helpful advice and tips. God Bless you!!!
Thank you so much my grandma passed on 6/22/24 I have the pleasure of doing her hair makeup and nails I’m nervous not scared I just hope I’m able to make her look like herself as much as possible thank you for this video I definitely learned a lot she raised me I feel like it’s an honor to do this for her
I just got asked to do my best friend and chosen sisters makeup - I don’t think I can comprehend how hard this is going to be. But I will try to take your advice and get through this for her

It is typically used for extreme discoloration. It is helpful to set the makeup after application to keep it from coming off and may require another application but I only use it when absolutely necessary.
Your videos has helped me as I prepare to my mom hair, I have so many feelings and emotions about actually doing her hair. I do have a question: how to do someone hair that has dreadlocks?
Wow! She was beautiful! It’s crucial that it family members look as good as they can at this time. It helps people accept their death if they look good and like themselves!❤
Wow! Thank you for sharing such an intimate experience. Your mother was beautiful😍 She looked absolutely gorgeous for her home going service and so peaceful. I know she was smiling down on you. May you continue to be blessed and a blessing to others🙏🏽
@@MsMortuary thanks for your response. My mother in law passed and I’m doing her makeup on Wednesday . I’m confident because I binge watched your videos about 5 months ago, not realizing that I’d ever be led to do it. I’m grateful for you and your content beautiful 🙏🏽
I will be doing my mothers makeup for her service on Wednesday. I came to your page for tips totally not expecting to hear your story. Thank you for sharing your expertise as it has calmed some of my anxiety about what to expect. Your mother is beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
This video was cringy.. not because of the dead lady in it but because of the way she was explaining it lol.. idk 🤷♀️ that’s just my opinion.. if ykyk..
Hi! I’ve just really been enjoying your videos! You bring up such an important point about facial hair having certain significance. That’s where mindefullness you had mentioned comes into the picture. We truly don’t know if Grammas whiskers had emotional significance or Uncle so-and-so’s ear hair was something the kids in the family grew up giggling about affectionately. We have to completely suspend judgements and assumptions. Asking the family is key! I’ve had cases where I won’t get the facial hair confirmation I need until the day of a service. Shaving embalmed skin can be super tricky too! So what I started doing was using pure humectant (restorative) instead of shaving cream. It works great because it helps to lessen the potential for dehydration. Thanks again for another awesome video!
I’m so glad I found your channel! I’ve been a mortuary apprentice for a little over a year now. Hair and make-up are my biggest challenges but especially hair. The hardest cases (in terms of hair styling) are those that require curling and giving volume. I love your advice for starting at the back of the head when using a curling iron. I never thought of that and am totally gonna do that from now on because it makes complete sense! Luckily I haven’t burned anyone hair off yet! I’ve tried curling rolls (set over night) which worked pretty well but once I started styling they hair started to go flat on me again. Anyway, thanks for this channel. I’ll definitely be watching and rewatching!
This was helpful btw, like Nicky tutorials or j☆... thanks thankfully I have time ! My sister asked while she's doing chemo. Hopefully it wks and I have 4yrs and not 4 wks
Thank you. Sending my love to you and your sister. Let hope she has longevity while going through treatment and recovers completely so you won’t have to worry about doing her makeup for a long time 🫶🏼
