A New Device to Remove the Dead: A Bodypod Transfer Mattress 

BIG SHOUT OUT to Kari's Mom👍🙂

Your mom is such a good sport. I would have been giggling too much to complete it 😂

I love that your mom kept her eyes closed the whole time!.... I think she deserves a prize!

Also I love how you told your mom happy mother's day while she was in the pod! She seems so sweet! I guess now we know where you get your sweetness!

Mom's a trouper-Academy Award performance! Good video.

The concept of the bag is a pretty good idea.

Moving a decedent is very similar to moving one of a kind priceless furniture. A cot weighs approx. 100 lbs, the pod should weigh no more than 10. Tight turns & stairs have always been a challenge & I have walked out of houses after making such removals dressed in shirt, tie & suit drenched in sweat. Great product if FH's are willing to buy them. Great mom for being your model during the production.

Kari's mom is such a good sport. There's nothing I could do to get my mom to agree to use her. Looks like a durable transfer, easy to carry w/you anywhere vs the cot. Thanks, have a great weekend all!

The things moms will do for their kids!!!!!! Great job mom, you are a real trouper.

The things our Mammies do for us! Your mum is far too sweet Kari. Little face peeking out from the pod, bless her ❤❤

Your mom was a trooper! 🤗 LOL “Happy Mother’s Day” I’ve witnessed a close family member being carried out in a body bag and this device would have made me feel better than seeing the actual body bag. It looks sturdy and protects the deceased from being jumbled around. It’s also nice that you can leave the face uncovered. I’m sure that makes it a bit easier for the family.

We used similar device called a SKED Rescue device on the fire department. Mainly for confined space rescue but great for tight areas where a cot or stair chair was difficult or unwieldy. Ours was a rigid hard plastic sled type that unrolled and wrapped around the body and victim was strapped in. Could remove person in any position including vertical while maintaining spinal protocol.

Love the sarcophagus in the corner there! Your mum is awesome for helping you demonstrate this new device 👍🏻

Not every home is “cot friendly “ and people aren’t getting any lighter, so the haters need to get over it.

TOTALLY LOVING the body pod. I work in the Armed Security industry and recently tested and ordered one of these myself for usage during rescue/building emergency evacuation scenarios where safe transport and stabilizing any injured personnel is key. I have two security contracts that are between 7 and 10 stories high and also love the sense of control that I have and the cushioned mattress to help mitigate against and avoid exacerbating any possible head/neck or spinal injury since I'm always the first responder and have to quickly descend multiple flights of stairs and the multiple straps allows me the needed leverage and control to navigate tight hallways or corridors that'd been otherwise difficult or risky and with it's thick material, it's great to help keep the patient dry and keep them warm if they should go into shock.

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Way to go mom! I wanted to see this in action and you delivered! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

This is so cool getting your mum n dad's support. Three cheers for Kari! Thank you 😊💓

Great and informative video Kari. 'Lifetime' award for your mum. I like all your videos but really feel videos like these , seeing your roles explained and demonstrated practically really brings something extra to your channel. Obviously nothing should be demonstrated using a real deceased so hopefully your friends and family may volunteer more often to help you in similar content.

Your mom gets the “Playing Dead “ Oscar award 2021. 🤩

Ur mother is a good sport. I'm glad ur parents are still with us👍🏽

A big thank you to your parents in demonstrating how this device work.

Brava Kari's Mum! I'm pleased to see that you uncovered her face to allow her to breathe after showing us the body pod in its fully closed state.

That device would be helpful for other businesses too! This would work for evacuating living people unable to walk from hospitals.

Go Aunt Wynne!!! 😁

What an interesting device. I (and my back) wish we had one when I was working at the FH. Home removals always worried me when we got in a situation that was not cot friendly. An enjoyable video, as always!

Good morning Kari , Kari's mother and everyone . Have impeccable days ahead . Be safe and always blessed ☕

All of a sudden the song plays "The things we do for love"...Like walking in the rain and the snow and you're slid down the stairs..... You are brilliant. Keep doing what you are doing. This is a brilliant tool and now I need to find out if this is being used in the UK. I'm still quite new in the scheme of things in the industry. XOXO Thank you!

This device is a Godsend! Ive encountered some very sticky situations using cots in close quarters with narrow turns. I think this device is wonderful and look forward to seeing more funeral home use it. Your mom was a great sport! Very nice seeing you actually use the device. Thanks so much for sharing this!

Your Mom is such a trooper... I love her. 😘 Kari your videos are so informative, I love watching them. You take away the mystery and make it plain for all to see. Thanks, we appreciate you. ❤

Oh my goodness, your mom is so sweet.

What a trooper,your Mom!!!!!!! The best, Kari.

And the award goes to....Kari's Mom🥳🥳🥳👍

Your mom is a sweetheart! ❤

High end ultra light backpacking tents are made from the same material. It's tough stuff, great video Kari, your mom is awesome.

Kudos to mom. She did great!

Yay for Mom. What a good sport.

In EMS, we have a Reeve's Sleeve. Basically the same thing. Meant for the living, has been used on the dead. So you should be able to use your body pod. I've had to do many questionable things to extract people from houses. For bodies, we would often use those black 6 handle body bags and pull them out. BTW your Mom is a gem.

Your mom did an awesome job at acting like a deceased body. People are inclined to try to be super stiff or "helpful" when playing a dead person but she was nice and floppy like a real deceased person.

I have no idea how you did this without laughing! Your mom is fantastic.

Good idea to practice. That was very nice of you to donate the pod. That would have come in handy for my aunts removal. We had to take off the porch railing and lower her vertically like standing up. It took the 2 funeral home employee's and my dad and husband. I enjoy all your videos. And thanks to your mom for the demo.

Your mom is ADORABLE!!!

Bless you, Mom!

Favorite video of the year!!! This is such an informative video on new equipment and I can see how useful it could be to more than just funeral homes.

Oh , the things Mom’s will do for their kids!!

What a sweet mom you have! ❤️❤️😘

I love the videos. My mom, dad & son died & (not at the same time)when they came to pick them up they were so gentle & put a sheet over the bag which was a comfort for me.

Thank you Kari for the demonstration big shout out to your mom ❤

Your mother is a REALLY good sport! This was a fascinating video. If I didn't know better I'd have thought she was an actual corpse.... great acting!

Awww , Poor Mom ! She’s so precious ❤️

Your mom is so sweet , glad you have such a giving family.

Hats off to your Mum. 🙏🙏🙏👍🇬🇧🇺🇸

Your Mom is a good sport That is a first a LIVE review on the comfort inside a body removal device You are great and i love your channel

Your Mom is so great to help you out. What a wonderful concept to help with removal of a deceased person.💕💕

"Happy mothers day" 🙈😂 I love seeing a sense of humor in this industry. Makes my day .

and the Oscar goes to …. Kari’s mom for best supporting actress!!!!

Mom you are a TRUE sport! You wouldn’t catch me in there!

God bless that woman. Thank you for the demonstration

Mom is such a trooper! Good for her! I'd have freaked out once we got to the stairs if I was in that device (assuming I was testing it while living, of course).

Kari, your mom was a real trooper!

Your mom is such a trooper! ❤️

Hi Kari! Pretty much a whole lifetime ago I was an active member of a volunteer fire department rescue squad. On occasion, we would be asked by a doctor or family member to do a removal. In tight spaces, and we had many a house with small stair ways and landings. We used a Reeves stretcher. At the time ('70's-80's) it was two thick pieces of canvas, usually aluminized, with long wood stringers sandwiched in between. It was great as we also used it for patient immobilization. I know the Reeves company is still around and making stretchers. Have you used a Reeves before?

Kari, this has got to be among one of your best videos! 💚 First of all, shout out to your mom!!! She is the BEST! Second, your passion for this industry just shines as you demonstrate this product and I can clearly see how it could be very useful in your line of work. Third, your compassion in donating the item to Worsham is just one shining example of why your peeps hold you on such high esteem and why I myself had a fangirl moment when we did the North Carolina questions video. You are truly amazing! I continue to wish you much success, health, love, and peace. ❤️

It's so awesome your mom was down to help. I love that.❤

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️’s for your Mom playing dead on this video! She sure is a trooper! I love your videos! Keep them coming!!!🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

Your mom is adorable.☺️

I’ve been helping my daughter as a patient for her in nursing school. I don’t know how your mom kept it together. I’d have been laughing and cracking jokes! She’s a great sport!

God bless your mom!

Your mom is awesome!

Your mom is a champ! That seemed interesting. Thanks for reviewing.

Thanks mom

What a sport mom is 💗

God Bless your Mama!! 😊

Kari, tell your Mom, I think she was a “total ROCK STAR!”

Your family is the best!!!

I love it! your mom is a trooper. :)

Your mom is awesome for helping with this. My great uncle worked as a funeral director/ embalmer for all of his adult life (50+) years. He was never married and lived alone. As kids we used to loved going to his house to play. He had a casket in his spare bedroom. (It was the one he used when he passed per his instructions) We loved to play in it. He played “funeral home music” on an 8 track player all the time. At one point he drove a long black limousine. He woke up every morning at 4 AM and placed call to all the local funeral home to “see who they brought in” the night before. Perhaps this is why he never married? LOL. We loved Uncle George. He taught us to really respect death and to never be afraid of it. As a preacher it has really helped in life in dealing with the terminally ill and often the families of the deceased. Thank you for your channel. Great information

I never really thought about tight and tricky spaces, in terms of maneuverability, before. This is such a great tool.

so generous of you to donate the pod to the college 👍🏻

Your mom did so good. I watched this because the funeral home that picked up my father in law's body dropped him going from a small bedroom in a mobile home, by a washing machine down a narrow hallway. They just wrapped him up tight in the bedsheet he was lying on. By the way, tell us about ol'King tut standing back in the room in the corner behind you.

Bless your sweet mother. My mother would do that for me too. I just had to laugh she wasn’t helping either, more reality I was an EMT so I really liked this device. Great videos! You’re very sweet..

Thanks Kari for demonstrating this pod. We use an almost identical item in London,UK to evacuate care home residents in case of fire. Not in the area of fire but in the building. Great for easily moving bed bound disabled and easy to use on stairs and in tight corners. I agree with your mum it is a smooth ride even on stairs. During training I have been the body.

Momma is such a good support!!! And you two look alike!!!

What an awesome family you have to help you review the body pad. We needed that for my mum. It was so difficult getting her out of the house on such a big clunky stretcher. When we bought her home after the autopsy, embalming etc we had to bring her in through the bedroom window and then back out the window on the day of the funeral. Having access to something like this would of been so much better.

I genuinely have a back injury from when I did care work, so to see something like this is Awesome 👍

Ty Kari's family..I love u Kari i learned alot from u 😘😘

Your mom and dad are awesome

Kudos to your mom for being such a good sport for the demonstration.

Very great idea. Your mom is a great sport.

Thank you for showing this to see what it looks like with a removal!!

Mom is so dope!! Such a soldier...so adorable...bless you guys...awesome video Kar ☀️💕

Kari- Your mom is awesome to agree to be Corpse DuJour for your demonstration...Major kudos and a big high five to her! :)

Your home is beautiful Kari , lovely

God bless you and your mother

Your mom is such a good sport 😎

I think this is great. Have been at home care expected death call in older homes in New England, narrow doors and staircases, with snow and ice leading to the door. This looks so much more gentle and safer for all involved. One thing about about your parents, have you thought of aging in place and accommodating mobility needs in the future while still alive? Walkers and wheelchairs need wider doorways and turn around space. (don't get me started on bathroom access). Your mom is such a good sport, what a lovely lady.❤

That was a cool video.

Mom being moved in the bag is a mood. Its like the effort my family has to make to get me to go anywhere

Kudos to your mom Kari! 😄👍

Hey Mum, early present! But bless your Mum for being a good sport 👏👏 But very similar to a device used by ambulance staff to move people from their homes

Your mom is a great sport. Cool new product
