Hi dear @USMarshmallow, what a lovely thing to wish for your beloved Mother after you probably grieved her slowly "leaving" for 9 long years. I hope everything went as you all planned and hoped for, surrounding the farewell of your Mother. Their Passing can come with such mixed feelings of deep grief & relief, when a Loved One who suffered from any form of Dementia for many years dies. (My sweet Mom Passed away from Alzheimer's in Feb. 2017 & my dear Dad died of Vascular Dementia in May 2019). It was such a strange and lovely sight, for my Dad and me, to see my Mother's facial features return to her old familiar shape. After the tortured Dementia grimace, that had plagued Mom, for the last 2 years, had left her face. It once again "was her" ☺️🕊️.

Thank you for this video. I lost my mom during the height of COVID. I was in bed sick, she was in the hospital and died alone. (Did get to FaceTime her about 2 hours before she passed). The funeral parlor advised that she could not be embalmed and it had to be a closed casket. I have been emotionally tormented over that for nearly 2 years. This video actually gave me some peace. She didn’t need to be embalmed. I’m glad she didn’t have to go through that. Thank you for your professionalism and compassion

Claudia Pozzuolo, I’m so sorry about your mom! I lost my son and we opted out of embalming his body because it felt like abuse of a corpse. I also have a friend who lost her mom, during COVID high point, and the funeral parlor made everyone sit in their cars as they buried her mother. Her mom did not have COVID and they still did this! My friend, like you and me are all still traumatized, but knowing we can talk to other people who’ve been through similar losses, temporarily does help. - Terri Kendall, Nashville, TN

I work at a coroner's office and I investigate deaths and I actively participate in autopsies from a forensic perspective. I appreciate these videos and explanations because I can learn and appreciate the expertise, skills, and compassion that those in the embalming and funeral professions possess. I tie off the neck arteries at autopsies so embalming is easier. I have never witnessed the embalming process or a cremation. The reason that I searched and found this series is because I had a lady who was mummified last week and I was curious about the physiology. The only insects were "coffin flies" (Megaselia scalaris) and a slight decomp odor. I am a career police officer since 1973 and have been doing medicolegal death investigtions for 12 years and I have yet to puke. I approach decomposition from the attitude that everything that is organic dies and that decomposition is a natural process. Further, I do an investigation or assist in an autopsy, it is to provide answers to the families and friends. Monica Torres, who embalms and attempts to present decomposed bodies for viewing, is a saint! Thank your for sharing. Your videos are enlightening and educational for me. Not morbid curiosity.

As a hospice nurse my work can involve post-mortem care. As I wait for the funeral home to arrive the post-mortem care can involve bathing, addressing odors, applying simple cosmetic, and dressing the body, especially in situations when the body is going to a direct cremation provider. In other words, this will be the last time loved ones see the body. Thank you for providing better understanding of funeral director services.

@SouthCountyGal
@SouthCountyGal 7 месяцев назад
I was a nursing assistant in a full-care facility. We always honored our patients by lovingly washing them, dressing their hair, and changing them into fresh clothing before the mortician arrived. Of the several deaths I attended over the years, no family members were present, but if they had been, I would have asked if they wanted to participate. There is something deeply spiritual about taking care of a body after its soul has peacefully departed. On the other hand, despite having been present for dozens of human and animal deaths, when I found my brother's body following his suicide, I could not bring myself to even get close enough to verify that he was truly deceased and not revivable. The person who had searched with me did it instead. My daughter, who had also searched with us, protected and honored his body by throwing rocks at people who showed up to rubberneck when the emergency personnel arrived.

Since it says "not clickbait", for a fleeting second I thought Caitlin had pre-recorded an intro so when she died her embalming would be filmed, thus, this video. First, I'm relieved that Caitlin is thankfully still amongst the living, and then I remembered that she wouldn't be embalmed in the first place if she were dead. My bad.

The trocar was after the blood replacement with the embalming fluids in the arteries, wasn't it? After the massage to ease the rigor mortis and the cleaning. They make the cut by the neck and place the little bomb to extract the blood. THEN, it's the trocar action, if I'm not mistaken. But I get it.

@@annieinwonderland694 Damn.. I can actually say that it's being going really good here in Norway. It's not long ago at all we got out of lockdown, and especially in the capitol of Norway where I live, Oslo, ad well as the other big cities, and a few small ones, lockdown have lasted just about almost two straight years now, leaving out a few reopening periods that never lasted more than a couple of weeks (except summer of 2020 for about 2 months or so..). So we've had HARD restrictions from early on, way before it even reached the US and started spreading there, so... yup. Fun times. Now tho, only young people are left to be vacvinated and it's going good, I had my 1st Phizer-shot just about a week ago. Now finally, we've actually reopened most places to at least near full capacity or even full capacity, depending on how many people are gathering. Mask mandates have finally dropped as well! As long as our young population continues getting vaxxed, it really does seem like it's as close to over as we can get.. ***knock on wood, holy smokes..*** the Delta variant is scary tho, considering both young people and vaccinated people gets much more easily infected by that variant.. sheesh. Let's just hope that our young population continues being highly willing to cooperate as we've been really good at the entire time, this can turn out great for us! This is the FIRST TIME I've felt even a glimmer of hope, and I'm actually seeing a light at the end of the tunnel now. We're so close, and it's so incredibly great! I've gotta say, I'm really proud of how we've all managed to stick this through, despite having such huge lockdowns for 2 years now. Truly. We managed so well to be selfless enough, (almost) each and every one of us to work hard to get to where we are now. Taking this as seriously as we did, especially us in Oslo who's had THE WORST outbreak and restrictions from the very beginning is such a good accomplishment. Each and every one of us really stepping up to the plate without making a fuzz about it, just knowing that we're doing this as a community service; all for one, one for all really made the fight so much easier. Gosh, I'm proud of you Oslo!! And the rest of the country of Norway as well, tho lol.. just think that we, the people of Oslo, have done the most hard and sufficient work, allowing me to give myself and the rest of my city's people extra credit. That credit surely is as due as it gets. Well done to us, and to everyone else still doing our part for our city, our country, and all of our globe. We're not done and out of the trenches until we all are, united. We can't forget that.

Not sure how this popped up in my feed but this was interesting. I've had the unfortunate experience of attending a lot of funerals during my lifetime, as I have a very large family. I've also lost some friends along the way. One thing I've noticed is that the friends I've lost... their faces looked very flat, after the embalming process and when a friend of mine passed most recently , it almost didn't look like her at all in the casket. On the other hand, the vast majority of my family have been taken care of by the same funeral home, and even after the embalming process they still looked very much like themselves, as if they were just sleeping. My family lives in a different state than I do, and I don't think that matters much, but it's just something I observed at the funerals I've been where I live, versus how my family members have looked where they lived at. Is this a "skill thing"? What do you think they are doing differently from each other that creates such a marked difference? Just curious.

Being reminded that everything dies is never a comfort and thought but it's not about death It's about the life that you have before the death. It's about the life that you live now because even if they're truly is a afterlife that doesn't matter. Death is inevitable. Someday everyone will die. But I think people's fear of death and losing their loved ones comes from the fact that people are actually scared of dying. People aren't scared of death they're scared of dying. They're scared of not having any more time. But the thing is you can refocus that fear and that anxiety into making sure that you make time.

Thank you, ladies for taking the time to do 4 videos that explain what goes on "behind the scenes". My grandmother is in the end stages of Alzheimer's and we are starting to look at funeral planning. Watching this series as really helped me in understanding the process so that I feel better informed for our upcoming conversations.

Thank you for explaining this so detailed. Our granddaughter works in a funeral home--she just graduated from law school and does not want to use her degree--she really likes doing what she is doing. She likes helping families plan the funeral services. She thinks when she wants to leave she will and not until then--SO for now she will be doing this. I think it takes certain people for certain jobs. Thank you for ALL you do to help us understand DEATH like you do.

Joe, I'm so sorry to hear about your loss, and that it was to suicide. I've been in the same terrible pit as your brother. I managed to crawl out, but so many do not. Please know, it's not your fault or anyone else's he took his life. It wasn't out of selfishness or loathing. It was out of his own demons getting the better of him. Do not blame yourself, and do not blame him. Sometimes, the invisible wounds get the better of us, and with the way mental health is stigmatized, especially for men, it can be unbearable. It's okay to cry, to grieve, to mourn however you need to. I can't imagine the pain it must be like, knowing your brother is gone, but please know I am sure he loved you and his family as much as you loved him. He was battling a terrible battle from within, one that it's difficult to conceive of if you haven't dealt with it. Just please know it was not, WAS NOT, your fault - and no, no matter what your thoughts tell you, there may not have been a way to stop it. He would have had to reach out and get the help himself. I'd suggest you talk with someone yourself. Not only are you grieving, there is a higher risk that loved ones of a suicide casualty may end up becoming a statistic, too, falling into depression. It also does tend to run in families. I assume you are, but just in case, I would reach out to someone. Lean on your family. You will need it in this difficult time.

My father couldn’t talk the final year of his life due to oral cancer. He had printed pencils with his name….his hands just looked so empty in the casket….I just had to do it. He would have approved. I could here his voice in my head saying, “good god so much makeup I look like a street walker”. A card to the end and beyond.

That’s a great story. My grandma passed away with oral cancer & I did her makeup at her funeral. She looked beautiful. All of my great aunts, and older ladies at the funeral were standing around talking about how great she looked. My mom blurted out that I was actually the one who did her makeup. All I heard was a bunch of gasping then they walked up to me and were like “Mija, will you do me? Please? You have to do me when I die!” I guess I’m obligated now.

@@liz5773 We buried my dad with the urn containing his feline "grandson" Mac's ashes tucked into his arm, and I brought homemade chocolate chip oatmeal cookies and some of the catnip that he grew for Mac in separate baggies that were put in his pockets--it occurred to me while I was running around packing to go home and deal with things that the two of them ought to each have a snack along the way. He also got to wear his favorite official Red Sox hat (bought at the official souvenir store); sometimes I wish we'd kept it, but he did love that hat that I got him so much that it just seemed like the right thing to do.

I'm sorry you lost your father. 😞 My mother just passed a few weeks ago and same here. I've learned so much from Catlin. We donated my mom because they can learn from her body and due to pandemic we had no money for cremation. With the donation program it is free and they will cremate her and send her home when they finish.

@SteamCraven
@SteamCraven 3 года назад
This is interesting to think about, when I was a vet tech I'd assist the veterinarian during euthanasia which is most often a lethally high dose of pentobarbitol or phenytoin, which weirdly enough are seizure meds but can cause issues if the animal is not buried properly as it can also be toxic to wildlife that might consume the animal after death (including insects and other decomposers) so we'd always push for cremation. I wonder for those receiving lethal injection would be the procedure for that too?

So I showed him this video. We both agree Mom's gonna fillet us in the afterlife for having her embalmed. Sorry Mom!
