The mortuary thread

canadianmusician · 05-10-2010, 01:12 AM

I'm about to start a Foundations course so I can become an Embalmer & Funeral Directors apprentice. I've done quite a bit of research and spoken to other embalmers. The embalming process is so much more than I thought it was....some people find it gruesome. I find it fascinating....

Bu tmost of all, I want to make sure the family can see thier loved one the way they remembered them from when they were well, if possible. There's hours of reconstruction that can take lpace depending on cause of death.

If people want to donate thier body to science/frozen, they need to be embalmed to preserve the body because it begins to decompose almost immediately.

I've been considering donating my body to Body Worlds for plastination.
