When my grandmother did her makeup, she would always smudge her mascara because she had tremors. So when she passed, the person who did her makeup must have smudged it on accident. It was very comforting to see.

@Karin-fj3eu 3 года назад

Someone painted my grandmother's nails a bright neon pink I could've never imagined her choosing to wear, it was quite jarring.

@christafurden 3 года назад

A good friend of mine passed away and they did her makeup all wrong... she never wore much aside from mascara, yet there she laid with pink lipstick on and rosy cheeks. It was a little upsetting.

@bleebleeblahblah 3 года назад

Exactly, I couldn't agree more. My aunt passed and when I went to the viewing she had her hair parted on the side. Parted was not the word, It was a comb over.( For those that don't know, it's a style mostly used by balding men to hide a balding spot. Men try to hide the balding, by taking the hair from the non-balding side and 'combing it over' to the other side, hopefully hiding the bald spot). It was attrouscious (sorry for the spelling) and it took away from the bereavement process and prolonged the closure of her being gone. I couldn't help but think why did her sons let her get buried looking like a totally different person. Everytime I thought of her, that comb over came back to my mind and intertwined with the good memories of her. Please don't let your loved ones be buried looking different than what they looked like in real life. thank you. and, sorry for long comment.

When my aunt died, my great aunt kept cracking jokes about how the funeral home director pronounced “diabetes” (my aunt died from complications due to diabetes) and of course, we laughed and cried and we got stares too but we always said this is what my aunt wanted. She never wanted us to cry and hurt, she always wanted us to laugh. So that’s what I say to you, your father would’ve wanted you to laugh instead of cry. ☺️

@jennifergonzales4230 3 года назад

My dad worked at the mortuary that ended up embalming and doing his funeral. So we knew they’d do a good job. But we kids actually, for my dad’s funeral, decided we wanted to remember him how he was. My dad was a funny guy who would transport a lot of the bodies to the mortuary in body bags. Sometimes if we were visiting and rode with him, we would go through a drive-thru for lunch and he would ask what I wanted to order and turn around and say, “excuse me, sir? Would you care for some lunch?” Or something like that just to make us smile. He did love that job.

@Cognitoman 3 года назад

Why did you get emotional because it was on wrong side?

@andinarizkia 3 года назад

@@Cognitoman people want to go to viewing remembering the person as how they remember them when they're still alive. Little signatures like always combing the hair to one side became an endearing memory of the person, hence if it's done wrong, it can give an "unfamiliar" look to the person. People want to say goodbye to the person they know, not the person they don't know; this includes how they dress, how they do their makeups, what type of color they usually cater to, styling quirks (wearing a LOT of rings, parting hair, faux beauty marks, etc etc), because at the end of the day we know someone not just due to their faces, but also their personality and choices.

Oh, I loved this video so much!! It reminded me of a chapter from one of my favorite manga series, "The Embalmer", about a goth girl who was obsessed with the idea of dying because she thought being embalmed would allow her to be beautiful forever. She snuck into an open casket viewing, and was disgusted when she saw the deceased wasn't wearing any makeup and just looked "normal". The titular embalmer explained to her that his job wasn't to make corpses "beautiful'- it was to make them look like their loved ones remembered, using makeup to make them look au natural if they didn't wear makeup when they were alive, or even painting on wrinkles and discoloration because "To the family, even the faults are dear".

@christy49534c 3 года назад

I'm really frustrated that these two women care so much. I wish I could have worked with them. So many people are NOT like them. I had to fight to be involved in the process of my son's death. My son had cuts on his face from the breathing equipment in ICU. The Care Center first made him completely tan face. My son was always pale due to his heart defects. We had them remove the makeup and make him look more pale, like normal. They never covered the cuts and I got judged from family members like it was MY fault. I wish more people would allow parents/family members to be involved in the death process. I would have been with my son through EVERYTHING if I would have been allowed. People in this line of work need to understand that we can't get these moments back. It's so upsetting.

@carabiner7999 3 года назад

I am so sorry for your terrible loss, and that your grief was compounded by what happened. It is the worst thing to lose a loved one, and more so, a child. I have not had that trauma in my life, but having been with beloved ones, during their final moments, and after, I know how difficult it is to have anything that went wrong keep playing in your head, which can seriously impede the journey through grief. I do not have anything that can help, but can only say my heart goes out to you and yours. (I basically tell my brain to STFU, when it wants to replay the negative crap it plays around a death, and make it focus toward the full and best life I shared with the beloved. Doesn't always work, but is something I do. Just an aside.)

My grandma was 79 when she was hit & killed instantly by a car while crossing the street to check her mail (she was 79, but still drove, went shopping, went to church, etc. on her own whenever we weren’t around) in Feb. 2015. At her funeral, they had to reconstruct her arms & torso area under her clothes because all of those bones were severely broken. My grandma was 5 feet, maybe 80-90 pounds & she was struck at about 65-70 mph. So her body flew over a 100 ft. It still hurts so much to think about it & that someone so full of life would have to go out that way. Her face had so much makeup on it to cover the bruising and everything from being hit. She looked beautiful & like a movie star, but my grandma never wore makeup other than lipstick so seeing her with foundation on was different, but I'm very grateful to be able to remember her looking like a movie star. The only thing I regret is I was in cosmetology school during this time & my grandma had been waiting for me to get out of the classroom part to the floor to start taking clients. She was so excited to be my first perm. I never got a chance to give her that perm. Sometimes I regret not offering to do her hair for the funeral. I'm so sorry Grandma. I miss you so much & I hope I get to give you that perm in heaven one day.

When my Grandma passed, I asked the funeral home if they would colour her hair for her. She always coloured her hair and didn't do so for the weeks/months leading up to her death. They were completely open to it and just asked me to buy the colour for them. She looked so good. They did a fantastic job on her.

When my abuela passed, I think it really helped my mom with grieving to be involved with how my abuela's makeup looked. My abuela also had her hairdresser, who she went to atleast once a week, do her hair for free. We wanted my abuela to be happy with how she would have looked and it helped us focus on her rather than ourselves.

Speaking about "it's uncomfortable to lie on the embalming table"... I will always remember how at med school when we had to take part in a few forensic pathology dissections, after our last practical the pathologist said "I hope I'll never see any of you on my table. " It might sound creepy to an outsider, but to many of us it felt like your general "take care, stay safe" wish.

I dunno if it'd sound creepy to me if I heard it in the wild without your explanation. It "sounds" like a tradition, something people in a somewhat-strange group of people with similar training/experiences would say, if that makes sense. Sort of a "break a leg" in theatre sort of thing. I think I'd pick up the meaning pretty quick.

I was an ICU nurse for 12 years in a public hospital, one of the charge nurses for 10 of those years. A nursing preceptor I had become good friends with worked there, too, and always told her group as they left on their last day not to be her patient. It made me chuckle a little the first time I heard it since I seemed to have gotten all the morose and sombre preceptors where I went to school. I also wish she had given me the same blessing as I did end up her patient there. Anyway, it is definitely a "take care, stay safe" kinda thing.

I love these videos . The embalming one helped me understand how they brought color back to my Mom. I went to see her right after bc she’d passed suddenly and been to the medical examiner’s office for autopsy. I was terrified of how she would look. But she was all pinked up - freshly washed hair- neatly trimmed nails and covered in a velvet blanket . Mind you - they had 10 min heads up to my visit and the accommodated me . They gave me time alone downstairs with my Mom looking like herself . They made her look natural for the viewing with her own makeup- but seeing her after embalming looked even more her . I’m forever grateful for the care and respect they showed her . Seeing her hair wet one final time and smelling the sweet shampoo .. They went the extra mile . I figured they’d just style her hair as is - but they rehydrated it and it looked so shiny and freshly blown out . The funeral director even reapplied her favorite lipgloss during the visitation. Details matter . TY for doing what y’all do 💗

Thank you so much for sharing this info. My granddad's mouth had a stretched expression that looked like a weird smile, and his skin was orange. We were left thinking this was the work of a dodgy mortician, who had maybe sewn the mouth together funny in an attempt to hide ageing or distress - and had maybe applied foundation in too dark a shade. To realise now that these were more likely natural effects of dying, and more so an absence of rejuvenating techniques rather than a botched job, is really really comforting.

She not only didn't look dead, but she looked beautiful and that wasn't a word that I had ever thought to describe her previously. The last time I saw her in full makeup was probably when I was in Jr. High in the mid 70's. But now my last memory of her was seeing her at her viewing and she was beautiful. I am still in awe on the work they did on her. Kudo's to Mulkey Mason in Denton, Texas for an absolute A+++ job.

@@aneesaali780 If you think a face of makeup is torture, I don't know what to tell you. And as for "to satisfy yourselves", what do you think funerals are for? You're there to celebrate and remember, and if someone feels comforted seeing her mom looking her best, there's nothing wrong with some makeup.

If there isn’t glitter somewhere on my post mortem face I’ll be coming back as a glitter-Geist to cause some problems. 🤷‍♀️ ✨ 🪦

My Dad passed at the end of November and it was the first time I’d witnessed the process of death through to viewing the body. I expected it to be a bit weird, which it obviously was, but they did such a good job. They styled his hair somewhat like Dracula which made me laugh and he also looked strangely like his best friend which was also hilarious. It’s a strange thing to process but content like this opens it up to people who haven’t gone through it yet, so thank you.
