Kari the Mortician and her man Josh- burial Vault installer, crematory operator, body removal, National cemetery caretaker…answer your questions live! @karithemortician
It’s so nice to have people like Kari and Josh to ask questions about death and the funeral industry. Stuff you can’t ask your friends without them running the other way when they see you.😊
I recently went to Arlington in Mt Heathy I stopped in one of the .Mosolium I noticed on some of the front plate was a short story of the person buried there. Keep up the good work
DANG Kari!!! Josh is sooooo good lookin'!!! BTW...I see you have two tattooed spots. Keep it at only a couple, and don't go crazy on us, getting more and more and more, as so many people do.
I have advised families to hold a private viewing for family only, then close the casket...good alternative, and as you suggest, they also cremate after they had had their closure.
Hey, Keri and Josh! Nice to see you folks again! The human compost thing sounds creepy! like from a horror movie. (1973 horror movie "Soylent Green") In this case: "SOILent" green. Whatever you do in the funeral industry I have total respect for the work you do! just call your show "Chewing the Grave Wax with Josh"? Peace to you both!
For some reason I couldn’t comment when you were live but I’ve wondered… I’ve noticed sometimes when I’m at the mausoleum where my mom is and also in some funeral homes…. I can’t get the smell out of my clothes. There’s always a smell but sometimes and some places are far more so. I sat by an ax vent once blowing on me for over an hour and nothing I did took the smell out of my suit jacket.
My question is do all caskets have the three springs under the thin mattress pad? Are there some that look a little more comfortable? If I choose burial over cremation, I'm gonna be in there for a long time. I know I won't feel it but, jeepers kraut!
Hey Guys! Happy to see you do a live together. Your content is always so interesting but I'm a hopeless romantic. I always want to know how couples are doing. Truth is i'm nosey AF! 😂Great time see you two!! Have a great evening
Kari I would like to get your viewpoint on the future of neighborhood funeral homes and them staying afloat. Do you think with cremation becoming more popular and people being more informed about costs such as being able to order caskets online it will greatly interfere with the survival of funeral homes as far as profit? Do you think that eventually it will only be the majority of funeral homes that are also attached to cemeteries that will survive since there is more of a balance of profit?
I'm disabled my current income as I'm led to believe is about 250.00 for cremation as I'm Catholic and I'm not sure if that includes buriel at a cemetery or not if it does not what do they do with your remains
I missed your live, and I hope you can answer thus question. There was a motorcycle accident near my home two days ago, I was in my way home, and I could see that the person was covered with a yellow covering. It was reported on the news that he had died on the scene. My question is, did the emt bring him to the hospital or did a coroner come and get him. This poor guy was only 24 and a truck pulled out infront of him.
Do you think a funeral home could benefit from a chaplain who is available for all staff and families that need support? I would like to volunteer and only accept payment if it is voluntarily offered; thanks.
I go boating cut the lawn on the zero turn and play guitar and anything with strings Kari do you play any instruments I live in buffalo NY my favorite music store in in Lansing elderly instruments do the kids play as well
Sorry to ask a dumb question but when someone has a closed casket funeral. Is the deceased in the casket in a plastic bag?? I don't feel closure if I don't get to see the person.
About that person who doesn't want to be buried OR cremated: What about donation to science? I realize they cremate whatever's left when they are finished with it.
I know it's probably too late to toss in a suggestion for this series but I have to throw this out there anyway. Porch-Mortem Chat with Kari & Josh ...well, at least while the weather is good. 😄Please don't block me for that one. LOL!
oh I forgot to mention I also have a 27 lb orange tabby he's a male just had two bladder stones removed and loves his 90.00 Purina ur dry food but he's a lover and a keeper there were these two scientists that mated a coho salmon and a muskie successfully and the named it a Kawalski the only problem with it is that there teaching it how to swim ha ha
He has two under his arm. One is sasquatch eyes lol and the other is a mountain range with five peaks and the coordinates to a special location for him
I've known FH owners throughout my life & have seen that this business had consumed their lives with no vacations & little time off for relaxation. Definitely no time to manage a YT channel like this. I think Kari & Josh might be happy where they are.
Kari I know you just washed your pretty clean face. You have lovely skin and please take care of it and alway employ a skin protection lotion so you don’t lose that good and clean and clear skin you have. Burned human flesh gets in your clothing your skin so that’s another factor for me and what has the worst smell to me. In fact that stopped me from wanting to become an Enbalmer. Bears have been terrible invaders this year and they’re not afraid to shake your nerves up.
Lord have mercy, I hope I never come across that smell. I have a seriously weak stomach. And that's why this field, is not for me. Not only that, i hate bugs! I cannot eat plain white rice, without gravy bc of course it reminds me of mags. But as my mother used to say: somebody's gotta do it. But mom, it won't be me.😊
when I worked at the cemetery I took a turn for the hearse ha ha love hearses the Soo friggin Kool an undead led sled doubles as a motorhome great grocery grabber even at the drag strip hey hearse races ya baby hee haw yee haw
Here is some unadulterated truth for you. You should never appear on camera without make up. You have more wrinkles and look older than Josh, and he’s not wearing any make up either. He must like older women.
What a RUDE thing to say! My guess is that your parents taught you ZERO about TACT. You would never be in my small circle of friends, as I am very discriminating. Who needs someone like you as a friend? I wouldn't even want to be an acquaintance of yours. MOVE ON, and be miserable with those of your lowly, sorry ilk. My "Gay-dar" is screaming, and it's homed in on you.
