No the vault does not have a drawer

Yeah! Thanks!!

Glad you liked it!

Thank you! You too!

Very nice thanks

I had to go on a class field trip to a well known large funeral home in our area for a Senior Course called "Death and Dying" Personally, I didn't look forward to that class trip, even though we held two viewings of my Grandparents in our own home back in the 70s. They were embalmed at the Funeral Home and brought to the house. Everything turned out well. It was hard to sleep at night knowing there was a casket and a deceased Grandparent downstairs. And some idiot in the family really gave me an adrenaline surge when they dropped something heavy downstairs in the early morning. All I could envision was the casket tipped off the pedestal. Aside from that, the field trip introduced the class to the Preparation Room, drainage table, assorted scalpels, aneurism hooks, eye caps and trocar buttons and of course, the big old trocar itself. The kids afraid of needles didn't stop talking about that trocar all the way back to school on the bus. But my spidey senses were tingling on that field trip. I knew somehow, they had a case in one of the viewing rooms, and so, I had a personal policy not to attend viewings or funerals or visit cemeteries well into adulthood until I figured things out.

Not really the same but kinda maybe a little bit. So i was kinda a wild teenager and got caught drinking at a party when I was 16 and the courts made us go to a class every friday night for almost a year. And part of that class was we had to go to a funeral home and tour it but also plan our own funeral as if we had been killed due to our underage drinking. It was pretty intense to say the least.

Wow, thank you!

Yes they are!

I appreciate that!

Glad you enjoyed it

Yeah!!

Good morning!

Thank you for sharing

You are so welcome!

Me,wanting to know what goes on in a funeral home ... NEVER! nothing much I used to think ... wow was I wrong ... Questions I had about my son's body I looked on the internet ... Thank you so much for being you with that Respirator on ... drew me to look at what you had to say about it ... 👍

Thanks!

Thank you

You are so welcome!

Thanks for watching!

Happy Tuesday!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Awesome!

Yes correct

Sort of like a tupperware burp maybe

The metal ones are a bit sturdier

It depends on the requests of the family and such

I believe they all lock, but I'll want to double check that. Thanks for asking.

I did receive the video about it

Today at 4 PM est I will be live

Thanks for sharing!!

They may

Thank you kindly

Yes you could

It's basically an Allen wrench with a bigger handle ergonomically designed for easier turning.

Nope

They can purchase or rent, and it usually falls in the same price range

Susan, I’ll buy one, then you can use it after I’m cremated.

Thanks!

Happy Tuesday!

prevent an accident

No accidents during the transport

THere really is no reasoning. When flying we do not tighten all the way for pressure reasons

Yes I always put pressure on it to make sure it seals tight

No it does not

I had that same question

I can imagine you'd have a whole room full of used keys if each casket came with a key.

either screws or a lid that screws on

Yes :)

It may not have been sealed for it

@@KaritheMortician Oh ok, thanks

any accidents from happening

Nothing is full proof

:)

Both maybe...

Okay thanks

@@KaritheMortician Have you had any requests that the Case be enclosed in the casket with an extra casket key just in case??

Greg Diamond You should have been able to stay and witnessed that casket being closed and locked...They may have the immediate family leave if someone requested not to witness that, sometimes family feels its too hard to watch that being done.

Some places do that. I encourage families to stay with me

If they made You leave, that sounds very suspect to me.

@@KaritheMortician I knew when they asked us to leave the room, I remembered thinking, "that will be the last time the light hits my mother's face...." I don't think I could have watched it.

My daughter and I stayed and watched the casket of my father-in-law be locked. We were not asked to leave. I appreciated that.

It was scheduled to post :)

Alleycat The same caket key is used on a hole which is positioned at the head and footend of side piece of the casket ( it is near the back of the casket lid). I think this is correct for a metal casket, on a wood casket it would be found at the same head and footend piece, but to the front of the lid of the casket.

In some caskets there are

Do those caskets costs more?

:)

In case it drops so they don't roll out

Thank you

Ok - we'll just dump you in the hole? Not sure what the lock is all about anyway. If someone wanted to dig up a 250 pound casket that's locked in a 500 pound vault (or however much they weigh) - then they could get in the casket if they wanted to. That lock's not going to stop them.....

@@stevejarrettnc no don’t just dump my body in the hole: I don’t want my body to not be restricted. Seems too cramped to be in a casket or In the dirt. Let me rot out in the open somewhere for eternity

Terrified of it!

@@KaritheMortician wow ,you really are honestly terrified of dying? Why I am curious. Please share why and I can tell you I'm afraid only because I think, who will teach my kids. Who will watch out for them. I must say I do not like cremation. The reason is just like when the angels went and protected Moses body from Satan. We ,our bodies go through so much in our lives. Our body is a testament to our existence.

Locking is more so that they don't fall out

@@KaritheMortician fall out? U mean if they were dropped some how? That just sounds funny to me 😂 How will they fall out?

@@kimglass4851 basically when they are being moved. Either by human or lift. If something happens. The body would stay in. Verse it falling out. If your carrying a casket up hill. And you fall and lose gurp. If not looked. The body could fall out.

@@D38401 Gotcha! Thank u very much 😀

Perfect example of why locking is done. My father was being moved out of the Funeral home into the hearse by pall bearers and the had to go down 5 steps. Well 1 guy fell and dropped his side then the casket slid down the steps. Thankfully he didn't fall out but it could have happened

:)

avoids a possible situation if the casket falls

It is the casket paperwork like the warranty and pricing

@@KaritheMortician “Your loved ones chances of coming back to life are only guaranteed for one year from date of embalming.” Lol

lol

:)

I thought that too kari

Thanks!

Avoid an accident

I think mostly in case it drops it won't open and have the deceased roll out

no it is more in case of an accident

lol thanks!!

You can seal an urn with glue

prevent an accident

ok

Always

?

I have always been wondering hey..I am glad someone asked. Thanks Kari..

Oops

To seal the casket. Also so it doesn't pop open when being moved.

To seal it or to keep any accidents from happening

No its more for transport in case of falling

Interesting question...

Thanks for the view
