EricaX. You should be in this career !! Pays good..
As someone who have been through a lot of death like him. I do really want to become a mortician for some reason.
Death is just a normal part of nature
I just love this guy, he’s a honest, humble, and very professional ❤
I’d rather have a ‘sky burial’’.
Predation burial doesn’t bother me at all. I’d rather have my body feed the other life on Earth and return directly to the Earth.
It might seem weird according to modern Western norms and taboos, but it just seems right to me.
Just push my body shaped meat and bones out of a plane deep in the woods and I’m fine with it.
I suppose burial at sea would be another good option. Let the fish and crabs have a good meal.
Learn something new everyday, thankyou! Idk why I was under the impression everybody had the organs removed
Do morticians get employee discounts?
Most media portrays morticians as socially unapproachable, but every real mortician I’ve seen either in person or on YouTube (Caitlyn Doughty, for example) are just the coolest people I could only hope to hang out with
If someone shot in between the eyes, and their head is still there. I had to rewind that 💩 bro. Wicked.
There was no covid-19 it was all a lie and a pretext to jab people for population reduction agenda that is still going on.
I’d love to be able to help any family through the heartbreak of loss. This would be a fulfilling duty i think
Do you know the cocoman
I had a friend who was 6’8” tall and he died. At his funeral, the casket was clearly not over 7 feet long. I want to know what they do in a case like that and if they break the legs and fold them up. Does anybody know the answer question mark
I had a guy that was near 7’0. We got the longest casket we could find, but I one thing I did preemptively was bend his knees up a little before embalming. That saved us a few inches and we got him to fit just fine.
@victormsweeneyThank you for attending to my query. It’s always bothered me.
Why would you remove someone’s implants?🤦🏻♀️
Iim glad he didn’t became the next Fyodor dostoevsky
“First generation morticians”. They’re “going in cold”. I saw what you did there.
stupid questions
We have to dig the graves for our family members and that’s the last thing we can do for them. He is right about helping people. He’s definitely a good guy.
“Asking out of curiosity” questioner needs to be investigated. Unnecessarily stating “asking out of curiosity” implies there is more than curiosity there.
He kinda looks like Erik menendez to me
