What a great series! Question: do you ever feel deeply sad or anxious when working with corpses? I mean, I feel sad when I work with file folders sometimes, but that's not what I mean. I think you get it...
@TasteofKay You're not alone, it doesn't make total sense to me either! "The majority of bone is made of the bone matrix. It has inorganic and organic parts. Bone is formed by the hardening of this matrix entrapping the cells. When these cells become entrapped from osteoblasts they become osteocytes."
Question(s): I heard that gasses inside the brain build up when in the cremation chamber while being burned and your head can explode. does this actually happen?
And I am thinking of becoming a mortician myself. I was curious as to what you do not like about being a mortician?
and lastly, what do you do with all of the organs after removing them from the body?
@thechaoscat1123 I wanna answer 2 of your questions: #1 No, your head doesn't explode, however your body can if you're not found soon after death, (can happen pretty fast in hot weather) #3 You don't remove organs (unless they're donated), they get buried or cremated with the decedent, right where they were when the person was alive. Autopsy cases are a real pain to prepare though as the circulatory system is no longer intact& all sorts of additional things need to be done.
These are brilliant. YOU are brilliant! Thank you SO much for doing these! I'm a huge fan of Mary Roach's book, "Stiff", and I think you capture that same.... energy? Cheeriness? I don't know. But like peas in a pod :)
I have a question and I always wanted to know this if I died and lets say I had a very prominent perma frown do you or can you sew the sides of the mouth so the person doesn't look so upset in a viewing?
Hello, me and my fiancee love the show, and we have some questions. What possessed you to become a mortician? Were you a goth kid in high school? Do you have relatives that were morticians before you? Keep up the good work!
I wouldn't have a problem working with dead bodies but the mourners would be tough for me to handle. Are you as comfortable with the living as with the dead? I would be a bad mortician...I'd be like...get over it, they're dead.
How exactly do you "repair" damage done to a body that is the result of a serious accident or an autopsy? Also, when a body is autopsied, what is done with the organs when the sew it back up. The coroner probably doesn't put everything back the way they found it, do they. Also, I can't believe you live in LA and have never been to Disneyworld. I think you will love it. I've spent most of my life on the East Coast and have been to both Disneyland and Disneyworld. Hope you keep the videos coming!
Question: Did/Do you get any gnarly nightmares or dreams when you started working on bodies? and/or What made up your mind to pursue being a Mortician?
The physical remain and the care and disposal of said remains is wonderfully interesting. I do have one question, however I would guess that you might avoid answering it for (un)popular(ity) reasons.
What, in your opinion, is the reality on transitioning between life and death?
Me me ! I have a question. In the movie Final Destination (part one) one of the bodies in the morgue has some muscle spasms many hours before death. Can this happen in real life? Can a body "twitch" in a visible and scary way? Thank you.
I would absolutely love to go into this field. What advice do you have for someone interested in being a mortician? Also- if a person requests to be cremated with an object, do you generally fulfill those kinds of requests?
How did you encounter this job as a career path? you sounds very enthusiastic about it and I can't say that about myself with death and I'm sure many other people feels the same.
how long do u wait before cremation? ive heard a lot of ppl say that they are scared of being "burned" before they are fully dead. its kinda a scary thought and made me wonder as well. like how long do u give to assure that the person is not going to "wake up" by some miracle or whatnot? might sound stupid, but im serious lol. hope u get a chance to get to my question. thanks!
I found your channel today and I've been scouring your website and I can't wait for more episodes. Thank you for doing what you're doing, I think it's great to get this, something natural yet taboo, out into the open. Even my mom digs you, she's the one who told me to ask you.
Why do I see Lenore cosplay in your future? Probably because you approach the finality of life with a sense of humor. Like the lady said, "It's going to happen anyway. Might as well try to enjoy it!" LOL (BTW, cremated and dumped in the headwaters of my favorite trout stream in Washington state for moi')
What are some accurate representations of the Death industry you've seen represented in the media? The most prominent (not Six Feet Under) tv show/movieI can think of is the Japanese film "Departures" (but tends to focus on the ceremony)
This is my new favorite thing on Youtube!! I have a question-- Does anyone request to be mummified anymore? And if so, how does that work as a modern process?
What is the weirdest request you've had for a body? Erm. Like how some people want to be cremated, or buried... do you ever get any requests to do other things?
This is really fascinating. I guess, since I'm currently working on my degree in Biomedical Engineering, (and since you already answered my first question (well, mostly) which would have been, "what happens to subdermal hardware such as titanium plates and the like") what kind of tools do you use most often in your day to day? I'm guessing (considering what you said about the paperwork) that pen is easily in the top 10, but anything a little more... exotic?
THANK YOU! It has been a personal mission of mine to get people talking about thanatalogical things, since I think our culture has divorced us from this topic for too long, and it is damaging. Also, thank you for not using the word "cremains".
My sister used to work in a crematorium in the rural south. She had some odd stories about the place. For example at this place they used a -washing machine- to grind the bones. She also said that fat people burned a lot faster than thin ones because all the fat in their body worked like cooking oil.
When you start making some big dick player money from Youtube ads, don't let it control you. I've seen too many good Youtubers turn to shit because of the cash.
These are incredibly interesting videos, and incredibly helpful.It's interesting to look back on how death and dying was once considered as much less dismal but more as an accepted part of life then it is now..
My question is; even after so many years in the business of death, do you ever become troubled/upset/nervous working with the dead( especially when young people are involved),Or is it something that becomes so second nature you just learn to get over the 'shock'?
Question: Can a person actually get stuck in a facial expression when they die, like in movies? If so, what is most common and whats the most expressive you've seen?
To become a mortician, did you have to complete an undergraduate degree with specialized science training, etc? Or is it more of a trade where you learn by doing? Or both? Thank you. You're doing a great thing with this channel.
Is it possible to have a cremation company NOT grind up your bones, or is there a regulation against it? Because personally I'd rather be a jar of bone chucks then a jar of powder.
is it true that cremains make poor fertilizer? i wanted to go for tibetan sky burial when i die, but my daughter rolled her eyes & wanted to know who was going to pay the airfare to get to tibet. such a killjoy.
Caitlyn... RobbiJames... SanFransisco Pride 08... Love you!!! Amazing concept! Good luck I can already see it launching!

Oh yeah... I did ask this question back then maybe you can answer it on an episode: What trypes of burial rituals do you have to prepare for? what type are there?
Thanks for doing these shows. I was an embalmer in California for twenty years until being laid off and now am switching careers to Pastry Chef (still have the stainless steel, sharp tools and walk in coolers). Did you go to Cypress? I saw you have an FD number but no EMB. Are you still in your apprenticeship? I digress. It is nice that someone is answering questions for the general public and educating them that we are normal (relatively) and dispelling the wives tells.
@TheSkullroller Pastry chef will bring that masses much joy! Death is sorry to lose you, though. I did graduate from Cypress but decided not to pursue an apprenticeship to focus on natural burial, home funerals, and cremation.
@TheSkullroller Thank you! It's inspiring to see people who have been in the field for many years who are still open to change, whether it be pastries or natural burial.
What did you have to do to become a mortician? Was it a long process? Can you wear piercings, or dye your hair any color of the rainbow?
Now for some stranger questions... If you fill up a dead body with uncooked pop-corn, and then have it cremated... Is the result the same as Orville Redenbachers?
What's your opinion on Six Feet Under or shows like it? Though, I haven't encountered any shows quite like it. I'm a big fan of the show and it's obviously not real but it presents everything in sort of a light, but morbid sort of way. Like, all of the other morticians are fans of Rico's work and they're all incredibly impressed by what he can do. He also uses unconventional items like soup cans in a womans breasts.
@AllUsernamesTaken100 Yes, when I worked in a cemetery, I did bury a leg. The woman's husband was already dead, so we put her leg on top of his casket/vault. The leg was in a styrofoam baby casket. I suppose you can burn them too but this lady opted for burial.
Morbidly enjoying these videos. QUESTION: If a person asks for their relative to be presented in an open casket, but aforesaid relative is slightly... messed up in the face department... what do you do?
@TaylorMadeFlicks It's a delicate balance because there is really only so much you can do, since the dead can't heal (alas!) Sometimes you have to warn the family as much as you can and prepare them for what they are going to see. "Just so you are fully aware...etc." And then do the best you can to make the deceased look presentable and hope everyone leaves in a thoughtful mood.
What a great series! Question: do you ever feel deeply sad or anxious when working with corpses? I mean, I feel sad when I work with file folders sometimes, but that's not what I mean. I think you get it...
