How does the cavity fluid get into a deceased body after the arterial embalming is done? Funeral director/embalmer Kari Northey explains. www.karinorthey.com kari@karinorthey.com
Ms. Northey, you really are an excellent teacher! I came upon your channel by accident about a year ago with little interest in death or how embalming works, etc. You take a very difficult subject and explain how and why things happen the way they do. Thank you for continuing to share with us.
Most people would think I’m morbid for watching this, but the information you provide is most fascinating. Thank you for sharing your knowledge! One never stops learning.
Hi Kari another really interesting video, it's still quite scary for me to think all this happens to you, but I find it fascinating and interesting at the same time. Hope you are well Kari and thank you for sharing the knowledge you have. Love from Nancy in Scotland x
Thank you so much just starting on my funeral career you are really helping me with school i take what i learn from you and it helps during my lessons because its helping me understand what there teaching.....
The cavity fluid applicator is genius! I always did it the gravity way, which as we know, is not easy. I had the hose slip off a few times and we know how powerful cavity fluid is, UGH! Always ready for new stuff Miss Kari, love it!
Good one Kari...😀 Most people I know would find this grizzly but this part of it very interesting to me ....that long trocar still a mean looking device 😀
Kind of reminds me of a liposuction tube. I'm finding these videos very interesting. I wanted to be a medical examiner when i was younger but life got in the way.
It is very interesting. All this makes me want to have a private viewing, and cremation, without embalming. It seems so invasive with all the poking and prodding, not to mention the stuffing and all the other stuff .. Thank You for explaining everything so we know what goes on in the death business..
As usual, your presentation was spot on. I hope people appreciate the kind way you explain things. Have you been busy? Things have slowed down on this end, but as usual, it won't be long before things are out of control with everyone tripping over each other..........LOL
If we watch all these mini-seminars, it seems we should be eligible to take the state test. Yes, that's right, I'm a graduate of the Kari Northey Internet School of Embalmin' & Gettin' Around.
Usually fascinated, but THOSE tools are the ones that get to me. Draining blood, understandable, sucking out the contents of the stomach and such..... Quivering..... Does it smell as bad as my mind is making it out to be?
Depends, I have experienced embalmings where you barely notice any smell, then some where you have to fumigate the room afterward because the stench is eye-watering, yet again I am only an apprentice right now and have witnessed only a handful of preparations.
Thanks Kari for great information, it’s good to know this stuff than hide the truth. There will be many wanting to go to mortuary school, so do good in your science and biology classes. I was almost there but the one thing that stopped me was the smell of human flesh.
Can you do a video on how you stuff holes to stop the leaking of fluid into the casket. On a woman i no your stuff her female part, booty, & nose or maybe you use a booty plug. Do they make a female part plug? What do you do with a male? Im not sure if folks think about these things.
Not to be offensive or anything, but I wonder if there is a product like "Fix-A-Flat" that they can use to close up the openings on a body so it won't leak.
@@donelleglatt They use all sorts of things but ive never heard of them fix a flatting an anal area. Im just thinking if gases build up in the abdomen and no way to move out the body would possibly swell like a dead dog in the hot sun after a few days. You wouldn't want a body to burst during a wake
Why are they so big? I've also heard, maybe not true, when embalming, the bottom of the feet ate sliced and the corpse tipped up to speed the blood drain?
Adam, I’m the same way! I happened upon Kari’s channel around the same time you did. I was basically looking for information, on funerals and what not, in preparing myself for when I will have to deal with the death of my mother. She will turn 92 at the end of October. While she is overall extremely healthy for a 91 year old, I am very fearful of what will happen, and what I will have to deal with on my own, when the time comes. Both of my siblings live out of State, and my brother has been going through Cancer treatments since the first of the year. So I’m IT! Watching Kari’s videos, has helped me “pregrieve” if you will, and helped me know a little bit what I need to do.
All of this stuff looks extremely painful if your not actually dead. I'll bet those chemicals would sting and burn too, especially the cavity formulas.
Cavity fluid is this a concentrated embalming fluid are you hitting major organs with the trocar. When I touched my friend on his chest is this why the chest feels rigid. Thanks for the video
This is all so invasive. Is it really necessary to delay the decomp if someone is buried 3 days after they die? I get doing it for someone whose funeral is delayed due to traveling. I just worry about the leakage into the environment.. I like that you are lifting the veil from the last taboo.
Kari, when aspirating does the trocar pierce the intestines to remove the physical matter/fluids? Does it remove everything or just most of it? Is there a smell when removing the hose to clean it? It’s very interesting. So many questions 🙋🏻♂️
Loving those videos! Question...what is the process after you have introduced the cavity fluid into the cavity? Do you suture the areas that have been pierced with the trocar?
Sure you can. Many Canadians are now practicing at home " Do it yourself " embalming. Only 19.95 for the kit and CD-ROM instructions. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TYUiZxDFi1c.html
After the flem, snot, sputum, dried blood and semi germinated poppy seeds are fully aspirated out of the back of the throat or larynx using the handy-dandy, nifty nasal trocar, through the nose... Where does, or how does the nasal trocar buttons stay embedded in each nostril?
Off suspect but I am curious. Have you ever had someone request that you bury themselves or loved ones standing and why aren't people burried standing regularly to save space?
Good morning Kari, thank you for another informative video. This one wasn't as queasy as the last one (about Tracars), but I do have a question. Why do you have to put that liquid stuff called "Champion" into the abdominal cavity? Is it for preservation of the body, like formaldehyde? Or is it to make the body look & smell better?
Yes it is like formaldehyde. You embalm the arterial areas but the abdominal section where the organs are needs fluid as well which is where the trocar comes in. Champion is the brand of cavity fluid they use.
Not trying to answer for Kari, but she has a great video that should answer your question. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MacBztGiDXs.html
Can regular people go out and buy all this stuff from a embalming supply company or do you need a special license? Aside from the chemicals? Are trocars and all the other tools regulated by the government?
@@KaritheMortician There was an article in the news a few years ago about those who buy these tools online used for occult " religious " reasons because they pierced the human body. They stopped selling them on Ebay. As for the chemicals, it's well known that some druggies spray the pot with formaldehyde. They call it "wet".
@@KaritheMortician That must make your job a little easier when they croak. I'm sure it does serious damage to the lungs and brain. Pre - embalming process kinda sorta.
@@KaritheMortician It's the spirit of pharmakia. You see the effects of legal drugs on your customers everyday. People get hooked on nicotine and continue to smoke even after they have cancer. I'm sure you've had to remove more than one trach tube from a neck and suture the hole. There's also the heads addicted to crank or Crystal Meth. Even the prescription drugs antidepressants , psychotropics perminantly alter the brain.
Good morning Kari! I know that my question is irrelevant but I had a question about mortuary school , if I am still in high school would I need to wait to apply to mortuary school until after I graduate ?
Simply Golden 19 Some states used to require a certain amount of college before you could go to mortuary school, but that's been eons ago, I'm sure the font that is Kari will know more. I think it varies state by state.
