Well, as I am sure that your “hunky” funeral director friend told you. I have seen this as well & it grossed me out. The worst part for me was the trocar thing. I wish to never see that again. However if you ever watch liposuction on TV, it will totally bring back embalming images to your mind. Number 2 grossest thing about it is the wiring shut of the mouth! But I will have to say he impresses me with his skills in cosmetics & embalming!!

Okay, I’m so glad that you enjoyed your experience! I can honestly say that I have had a lot of questions about this process in the past, but I have never, ever wanted to watch the process actually take place!! I know that it is something that must occur to all of us when we pass on but there is something about actually watching it that just gives me the willies.

It will stay with you forever. I’m a licensed mortician, but don’t work now since I’m playing stay-at-home mommy. I remember the very first one I observed and details from every one after that. The process is definitely not for everyone, but I truly enjoyed it, knowing that it really does make the deceased look better for their family to view! Glad you found the process educational and interesting!

When my husband was a youth pastor, he once took our group (I didn’t get to go because it was late at night and my kids were still babies) to a funeral home. It was a great learning experience for them and a visual of our mortality!

This has got to be the sickest post I’ve read on a blog, well at least lately. What is even sicker is that I read the whole thing! Love that T-shirt, “Support your funeral director: DROP DREAD”. Funny.
