Many of your videos have helped me because the funeral company that dealt with my daughter didn’t think telling me what i needed to know because they didn’t think it would help me. I can’t thank you enough for helping me after so many years. Bless you for helping so many of us.

Just more unnecessary expense stickin a dead body inside a plastic bag. When your in the ground or in a museum, you'll still be worm food as once the decomposition process begins, which happens immediately after the person has passed, it isn't going to make a difference for dust you are, dust you'll return to, it's that simple. My mother had once told me while she was yet alive, and she herself cashed in since March of 2007, just leave a piece of baloney out for a few days and you'll see worms begin to eat away of the baloney. So it is the same with each of us, no matter how much you really don't want to deal with this stuff, your still gonna go back to what your originally made of, and that is, dust.

It’s cheaper and you can rent a casket like we did for both my parents due to a Catholic funeral. As long as the cremains are buried in a “holy place” like a Cemetary, Catholics do believe in cremation. I’m all for it...of course only when that time comes. 😬😳

When I did the hair and makeup for my mother in law she was in the unionalls. I knew she had donated her skin and long bones but was not prepared for the amount of leakage in the bag. I was panicked because I had picked out a white pantsuit for her viewing. My friends own the funeral home and assured me the clothes would be fine. They ended up adding additional absorbent materials between the suit and her clothing but there were still comments about how she felt crinkly under her clothes when people touched her. I never told anyone about it. She looked beautiful and that's all I wanted them to remember.

Yes. At my sister in law's funeral, my mother touched her arm in the casket and pulled back. "There's something crinkly in there." She was horrified, but we remembered the report that MOST of that arm was gone, it was only marginally still attached. I don't know if she expected the morticians to do miracles; they didn't have all of her to put back together. I pictured it wrapped in plastic wrap there under her sleeve; wasn't far from wrong. It was tragic, she was young, but they did a very good job of making her look normal. Considering the accident, it was a stellar job. She was as pretty as her wedding day. Thank you.

It is much better than years ago when someone died & was left to some old men at a funeral home to cover them up in make up. Times have changed. Much healthier to deal with our loved ones when they pass. You do such a beautiful job explaining everything. I think it makes a loss a little bit easier to deal with when you're involved. God Bless.

Hey Kari, thanks once again for making these videos as I am nowhere near as afraid of what happens to the body after death as I once was. A question I have though is-if someone does donate organs, tissues or has a lot of the abdominal/chest area missing from trauma...would you typically "stuff" (for lack of a better word) those cavities with a filler material so that it doesn't look all sunken in? Even with just clothes on, I wonder what type of material you would use to do that in spots that will be viewable with an open casket? I appreciate the answers and your time in advance.

Thank you Soo much, for this video. I lost my 31 yr old nephew to a heroin overdose on January 19th 2020. He was not found for 6 hrs. An autopsy was performed upon him due to certain circumstances. At his viewing, I touch his chest and I felt something that felt like plastic, and now, I know what it was.

Amber Armstrong Draining happens before the viewing not after. Most times after death, the body is drained then filled with embalming fluid, dressed up, viewed, then buried. Since the draining process can never remove 100% of all body fluids, there can be leakage for various reasons that Kari mentions in the video and in the comments. Hope this helps to clarify.

Love your channel btw. Always learn something new, keep them coming. Question, do you have to have special training or a degree to do makeup for the deceased?? My sister and I had a pact, whichever died first, the other would do the others makeup. Thus, I did hers. I'd appreciate any info on this.

Thank you ,my mom had passed away from copd and was filled with fluid, when I took her clothes to the funeral home the next day the funeral director asked if I had a long sleeved shirt for her at the time it didn't register why other than she was in the hospital before we brought her home on hospice and she had bruising from ivs and being poked and prodded ,however at the funeral I gave her arm an older area a rub and it felt like plastic under her shirt ,I didn't know why ,that's a very good way to be able to care for the body so family can have closure and view loved ones in a viewable manner the way they remember ,as my poor dear mother was 4 ft 9 and had swollen over 300 lbs we got some off her in the hospital but it resumed right back once she came home ,our funeral director did an amazing job on her with getting the extra fluid off her ,she looked like herself and grandma seen her as she was before her sickness not what she looked like when she passed .thanks again for your info

My Gram was hospitalized for a while prior to death. She did have plastic on her arms. I questioned it. And they told me they used plastic so nothing came through her outfit. For some reason I was thinking saran wrap and wrapping the arms, trunk or legs. I couldnt imagine struggling to get the deceased into a full platic suit. Hard work for sure.

It most likely was saran wrap - that's the same as Australia's Glad Wrap. Arms and legs I use wrap with bandages. Trunk I would use adhesive patches as needed. A full body suit if required. They can be horrid to put on. I have used 2 sheets of plastic, then custom fitted a body suit using lots of tape to water proof the seams.
