Precious memories.True that in life you meet people through work you admire,then you think of them,then meet them in social occasions and talk ,talk,laugh,and afterwards realise that they thought of you the same way...bonding time without realising it...it's special. ❤️
Enjoy your videos, sorry the audio was cutting out. But helping us understand your earlier work. Being retired now, sometimes still recall the early days. So many experiences. I think as long as I have a good memory, will always remember so many details and circumstances. The clients, families, the deceased. Good and interesting remembrances.
What a great video !! Awesome job ! You are so right about retracing the brain / thought process in death and how you look at it . I so enjoy your videos and I have learned so much from watching . Please keep them coming !!!
This video was golden I wish audio would of been better but thus was a great video I loved it. I also took something from Chris even if your busy don't let the families your taking care of know how busy you are I think a multitude of industries would benefit frome that advice. Kari you truly are amazing im so glad I saw this I really feel like I know you now I know its crazy but your so cool 😎
Great video, just sad the sound kept cutting out. No wonder you have such a mild manner, I can see it in you and Chris also. Beautiful souls. You're both definitely in the right jobs! Really enjoyed this. 👍🏻🍀☘️⚰️
Very Nice .I remember my Firsts Patients and situations Death some 40 years Later .I can tell you Admire this Man .As a funny side note how many times did you twist your ring ? LOL. just a funny tease I use to twirl a pencil or tap my finger .You so Cool Kari love your work. Bless you.
I love the thumbnail. Did teenaged Kari have some late 90's angst? Was there an expectation for new business from Y2k? Great video! It was interesting to learn that apprentice Kari would notice splatters on the wall after working, learning the origin of the mini-winnie nickname, and the cardio benefits of setting up and taking down chairs in the chapel!
I so enjoyed this video. Though the audio kept breaking up I just couldn't bring myself to leave. I became a funeral director later in my life, but for all the same reasons you and Chris did. I keep my license current as I always have the hope that one day I may be able to return. I would most definitely like to be involved in Alkaline Hydrolysis. I like that you; Kari promote being option oriented. This a great service to families of deceased. Thanks for shedding such great light on all areas of funerals.
My Dad was a Freelance Mortician, he's been gone now for 20 years. I recall playing hide and go seek at Diamond Funeral Home with their kids. They had a casket room, the room where Dad embalmed the bodies & a waiting room for the up coming funeral. Long story short I thought I was in the casket room and jumped in to hide, as I jumped in I felt a very hard object and realized where I was. After belting out a good screen Dad walked in and flipped the light on and low and behold there I was face to face with a dead man in his casket 😱. After that I never played again. He also did Alot of Verheyden , Barksdale, Swanson & many more. I recall him getting calls and going to embalm at 3am. It definitely takes a special person to do this job ❤️
This dude seems like a real professional, I like his calm and soothing demeanor. It's so interesting to hear about your personal experiences as you began your career, you're so amazing! Love you Kari and God bless! ♥ :)
Good story on how to handle challenging cases/situations in general. Never look or sound the slightest bit fearful when presenting. Always start with the situational challenge , use a nicely worded transition such as "and", then present the solution and plan for action. Even if you're "britting shicks" inside. You'll present as the subject matter expert and gain buy-in from the key opinion leaders/decision makers.
Since folks before me brought up the sound/audio issue I won't! No "grace" before coffee! I really enjoyed meeting your mentor and learning a little more about you! "Klutz" have not heard that word in awhile! :)
Oh Keri the sound kept breaking up when I was watching this video unfortunately. Hope you are well and your family. Lot's of love from Nancy in Scotland x ❤
I'm from Eastern USA, like Kari. I just wanted to say that i visited East Kilbride and also Edinburgh, Scotland (25 years ago) and its one of the most majestic places I've ever seen. Absolutely lush greenery.....The people were absolutely kind as well. I wish and hope I can either take or send my son there one day.
It was so nice to see you and your mentor. I think this was really interesting and fascinating to know your beginnings. Its definitely a good thing to remember where we come from. It was great to see u 2 . Thank you for the video.😊
I really enjoyed seeing you talking with your mentor. I agree with what he said "You can learn skills but there are also natural talents and abilities". I was shocked to hear that in the 70's and 80's autopsies were done in the funeral home! Great video😊
Aww I'm really glad we got to see who helped train you! He seems very genuine. It was cute what you did with the gloves. You look so sweet in the old photo! Not much different to now just extra baby faced! It's interesting that he taught you to be calm and not show your own nerves and fears to families. I bet a lot of that rubbed off on you because to me you do seem very calm and soothing at all times even when discussing more difficult details about death and embalming etc. That's probably something that really helped with your own personal experience with your niece, I think your sister needed someone to be calm and not flustered at that point to help her get through things. I hope you never actually did fall down the stairs carrying the chairs 😂🙊. I feel the same as you, kari. I'm very keen and interested to work in Funeral homes and all that that involves, but I don't have any desire to ever try to own my own funeral home. I don't have an interest in starting a business, just being one of the cogs within one that does their bit to keep things going smoothly. It was really interesting to hear your perspective about going into someone's home and being there in their private space etc. I never really thought of that from the family's perspective that it's not only losing someone suddenly, it's also a big deal to have to allow strangers then in to your home and private rooms etc. I think that's why it's so important for the people caring for them to be so non-judgemental and reassuring. This was very interesting and helpful, thank you Kari and Chris 💜
@@KaritheMortician That was really nice of you to reply. I fully understand technical difficulty. It was just a friendly FYI, in case you were unaware.
@@KaritheMortician Actually yes I did. Yesterday I noticed it was in my junk folder. Thank you so much! Work has been crazy busy, I’ll reply in the next few days!
A video I saw that was about 3 years ago. You mentioned the loss of your niece (7) years old. Have you been able to talk about since.? I’m curious because I lost my 3 year old niece. There are sooo many feelings inside of me that I don’t understand along with the recent loss of my mother. I’ve had personal losses of my infants. I’ve had 8 pregnancies but I have 3 (sons) living. I don’t know what answers I’m looking for, I just know I’m looking or maybe hoping.
Wonderful video. The sound was a little messed up but really enjoyed the information and insight into your early days. Maybe you can add word captions to the video to compensate for sound. Don't know if that can be done after the fact but just a suggestion. Never the less, awesome video!!!!
@@KaritheMortician Good. I hope you can do it. I enjoyed it but I did miss some parts of the conversation. I would love to watch it again and catch the parts I missed. 😊
If you don't pick up your one of your family members ashes within a certain time frame, does the funeral home have the right to dispose of that family's ashes?

Such nice words coming from your mentor.He is so proud of you .
I am thankful for his friendship!
I can relate when you talk about your mom :) nice interview Kari!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I tried to watch but audio problems
Yes it was a hurdle for me
Having audio issues during video.
Yes we did
Enjoyed meeting your mentor. Having Audio consistent audio issues on this one.
Yes that was the blue tooth mic I was telling you about
Bluetooth mic’s are terrible. You need RF mic’s. Radio frequency.
@@KaritheMortician so I hear. Please Email me what you shoot on location with. I may have a trick or two you can try.
Sound breaking up.
Yes as stated in the description a new mic system was used and it was quickly returned when I found it kept dropping out.
Sorry, I didn't know this posted twice.
If only the sound was behaving itself!
Exactly!!

@@KaritheMortician he is and so are you 😊
Off the wall question for you. WHO decides the amount of commercials in one of your videos???
RUclips does it all. Some folks have been saying there are a lot lately.
What an interesting video however the audio is really bad.
Yes sadly a new mic set up malfunctioned
@@KaritheMortician That was really nice of you to reply. I fully understand technical difficulty. It was just a friendly FYI, in case you were unaware.
Audio problems...
Yes it was sad :(

Same to you!

Glad you like them!
Love this video! This is Jason who sent you the email about my mom! Have a great weekend!
Did you get my reply!
@@KaritheMortician Actually yes I did. Yesterday I noticed it was in my junk folder. Thank you so much! Work has been crazy busy, I’ll reply in the next few days!
A good mentor will give you that nudge to help you move forward.
So true!
Enjoyed this session! Only wish the audio was better but got most of what was being said
Me too I was bummed :(
almost 70k. what's the plan for 75k subs. 75 jumping jacks?
I will have to think of something fun!

Good morning kari how are you 2 day your videos are breaking up I can't her you when that does it
So sorry it was a new mic system which got returned after I heard this recording
How is your day going so far
Are you going to do another video soon
Hi kari how are you doing 2 night
GM Kari... Nice video as always... Sound jus little issue... Breaking up every once & while
Yes it was a bummer when I found that later on.
It's ok... We know it wasn't intentionally... Et least we understood & enjoy most of it... Thanks again... Keep em coming 👍💯
Breaking up in sound !!
Yes it was sad :(
@@KaritheMortician we understand you can’t control the electronic part and we all love you and forgive you dear friend !!
I turned on my CC since the sounds was in & out. Hope that helps some ppl.
Thank you for the suggestion!!
Could you add subtitles to this one? Really wanna hear the full convo
You can turn on CC with it. Someone else said that worked great
@@KaritheMortician It's autogenerated so it only works when the audio is clear...
If you don't pick up your one of your family members ashes within a certain time frame, does the funeral home have the right to dispose of that family's ashes?
Yes depending on what the authorization for says
Want to work
In a funeral home?
@@KaritheMortician yes mam
@@KaritheMortician god blessing your family always idol wow
I love your videos but this one kept fading in and out with the audio.
Yes sorry the recording device didn't work well so it got returned but I could not rerecord since he is far away.
@@KaritheMortician no worries.
Audio isssues are bad.
I know :( I could not rerecord because I was already back home and editing when I found them.
Working with ‘asmatics’? Do you embalm these folks differently?
😂
Not at all. It does not affect it
Sound breaking up.
:)
