Do you check if they are dead

- In this video Tracy talks about getting the heebie jeebies in the mortuary, and is asked if she ever feels the need to check if the bodies on the table are, in fact, deceased.
And her answers are comforting for anyone who may feel the fear of being wrongly pronounced dead, or being buried or cremated alive.
Thanks to all our new subscribers and those who have supported our channel long-term - we feel the love :)
Take care friends,
Til next time,

My Daddy always said .. "it's not the dead you need to be afraid of, it's the living"
I'm not afraid of no ghost. I welcome the spirits of relatives that have passed over and I've had many experiences with them.
So very true 🤗❤️❤️
I was at my father’s bedside when he passed, and was struck by how obvious it was that he was dead within minutes of his passing. He was there one moment and then the next he was gone. He just looked dead, and I’d struggle to explain exactly how. I think there are a lot of subtle signs of life that we just don’t consciously notice until they’re absent.
So true ❤️ Sorry for your loss 😔❤️❤️
SOMEONE SAID SOMETHING LIKE THAT TO YOU, TRISH?????? They better hope I never run into them, I hope the trolls aren't American....OMG that makes me so angry....OK, blood pressure's down! Great video T&T.....your fans love you both!
Awww 🥰 thanks you support 🤗 so lovely big hugs and love right back at you Susan.
Have a wonderful weekend ❤️🥰🥰
Love you channel. Very formative. You are a very compassionate person. God Bless you.
Thank you so much! ❤️❤️
Kal doesn't bother me at all either but I'm with you Trish, that little CPR fella really gives me the heebies. Maybe you should call him Heebie. Heebs for short 😅.
🤣🤣 love that Heebs 🤣 🥰❤️
Could do with you at my place of work because a lot of my co workers suffer from Rigor Mortis lol
Will you check them 😂😂😂
Take care
🤣🤣 I know that type of worker. I could pop around show them the trocar to aspirate that will make them jump 😜
Have a great day ❤️
I have a friend that is a mortician and he says the same thing about getting a body that is still warm. Here in the small towns like I live in the funeral home will pick bodies up within a couple of hours after death. On that note you beautiful ladies have a wonderful weekend.
I just can not get used to feeling the warmth 😬❤️❤️
Hiii ladies! My absolute favourite channel ever! 🩷🩷🩷🫶🏻
Yay! Thank you! 🥰 Hello 🤗❤️❤️
Interesting as always Tracy! Thanks to you both.❤
Our pleasure! Hope you are well 🥰❤️❤️
Trolls?! Tell them to get back underneath their bridges! You two lovely Ladies are awesome! Thank you for all of your wonderful information 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇬🇧
Awww thank you so much 🥰❤️❤️
Don’t listen to the trolls girls, you’re fab! Sending lots of love xxxx
Thank you so much for your kind words and support 🙏🥰❤️❤️
I really appreciate you taking the time out to talk with folks about this topic.

When my makuāka’nē (Daddy) passed in 2019 suddenly & unexpectedly in my home it was devastating. Whilst he had been dealing w/several illnesses for many years due to his time as a Combat Veteran; there were no warning signs (at least not that I can recall) of his transition. He wasn’t even on hospice.
•
The coroner was an absolute gentleman. He allowed myself & 2 closest friends to assist him in getting my makuāka’nē (Daddy) to his vehicle for transport to the mortuary. He even placed a US Flag over top him on his way out of the house, into the vehicle, and for his final ride. As he noticed that he was a USMC Veteran.
•
I did wrap him in a blanket & had been holding his hands. He had a DNR. The 1st responders clarified everything w/his doctor. I never thought about how you all would feel on your end. Something for me to think about for when it’s my time.
•
Mahalo Nui Lo A🇺🇸(Thank you very much) for checking to make sure that folks like my makuāka’nē (Daddy) have truly transitioned 💜
So very sorry to hear of the loss of your makuãka'nē 😞 and of course we salute an ex servicemen 🙏 we both send you our deepest condolences 🌹🌹
To work in a Mortuary caring for other people loved ones is truly an honour and privilege, all morticians and Embalmers should treat every single body that they care for should always be with care, respect and dignity. Thank you for sharing your story please take good care ❤️❤️
I admire your ethic Tracey. Weirdly I don't believe in the "afterlife" so the person you deal with is THE person. I feel you do it as much for them, as much as the family even though the deceased doesn't know it. ❤️
🤗 thank you 🥰❤️❤️
keep up the great work much respect
Much appreciated 🤗❤️❤️
Can you relate to this one Tracy ? I had just done a transfer at nignt and went through to the trim room , which was dimly lit to cut a new white plastic sheet to refurbish the stretcher . On the way back i had to pass a row of highly polished upright coffin lids . As i passed i unexpectedly saw the dim reflection of the white sheet and my face . And yes i " sheet" myself. 😂 love your educational channel ❤
🤣🤣 oh my goodness I can see it all happening 😜 funny how we scare ourselves and know it's all ok really.
Thank you for sharing ❤️❤️
You guys crack me up! I can hav3 the worst day and then y’all make me laugh out loud! And on a blog about death, no less! I love y’all!
Sorry you have had a few bad days 😕 But so happy we could cheer you up 🥰❤️❤️
I just love you ladies so much! It's nice to have a platform where we can learn and have some fun at the same time. Life is hard enough to not laugh and have a little fun. In America, our death industry is so vastly different and our laws are made to line the pockets of the funeral industry. I hope I have the courage to be involved and take care of my loved ones when they die, but it's so hard here with all the rules and pressure. Rant over...thanks again for all you do! 💜
Hi, thank you so much 🤗 so true life is hard enough and laughter is a good therapy 💚
Yes unfortunately lots of funeral business are all about the money 😞
Thank you again for your very kind words and have a wonderful weekend 😘 ❤️❤️
Aloha T&T, another great video❤
Thank you! 🤗 🥰❤️❤️
I have never feared death. I once read a quote that stated, " when your on your death bed and draw your last breath a man knows his troubles are over".
❤️❤️
Cheers from New York, I love your channel
Thank you very much! And hello out in New York 🤗❤️❤️
Love listening to your videos. ❤❤
Thank you so much! ❤️❤️
You guys are Class!
Thank you so much ❤️❤️
Great video ladies! I will say it again, you both need your own Netflix series!
If only 😉 ❤️💕
Y'all are a treasure...
Awww 🥰❤️❤️
Great video ladies! ❤
Thank you! 🤗 ❤️❤️
I admire you and the important work you do. Definitely not a job for everyone. My daughter is very interested in your love of work.
Wow, thank you ❤️❤️
Have you every got a body that is still alive
No never ever in my 11 years. ❤️
Glad to hear it, because I often suffer from 'surface coldness'!
I do too. ❤️
Great tans
Is it your own business Trish
Thanks again lovely to see you both ❤
Thanks lovely. Are you talking about Trish's business as she has here own, me Tracy I work for a family owned funeral home. Trish is an ex journalist ( that's why she so awesome keeping me right on the question and when to stop talking 🤣 because sometimes I need stopping 😉)
Trish is now a remedial sports massage therapist. Take care lovely 😍❤️❤️
Hi guys I wish you were in Melbourne so you can look after my mum cause I know that she will be in good care as she hasent got long to go due to dementia keep up the fantastic job xxxxx
Ooh 😞 sending you lots of positive thoughts and hope your mum is doing ok ❤️❤️
Love you guys!
Thank you 🥰❤️❤️
Thank you ladies. I was wondering about those same questions. I backed out of mortuary school because the thought of children or babies in the mortuary. Not just natural deaths but tragedies. I know it would affect me to my core. Have you ever had something like that affect you at a deep level mentally? Like any time but especially when you were in school or new to the job? Thank you for answering everyone's questions. Love the channel.
Yes I have 2 young children that were killed in a car accident 😔 I had them both in my Mortuary for nearly 4 months (the children were embalmed as well as reconstructed during to the trauma suffered) they mother was in a coma and the husband instead we didn't have a funeral for the children till mum woke up to say goodbye. She did wake up 4 months after the accident. Because I had the children so long and cared for them daily it was hard to actually let them go when the time came for the funeral. The mother of the children was so thankful she got to see her children one last time. This whole thing affected me greatly (of course nothing compares to the families loss) it was a difficult time. I have others that have affected me too. I do get lots of love and support from my husband.
Thank you for your question take care ❤️❤️
@@Areyoudyingtoknow Wow that would've been really tough to let go of two children you were caring for daily. I couldn't imagine after 4 months. Probably have to either already be strong or become stronger over time to handle situations like that. Very sad how that all happened. Rest in Peace to them and thank you for answering my question. ❤
Much love from Ireland as usual xoxo
Thanks so much 😊 ❤️❤️
You two are glowing as I freeze here in Boston😂 Tracy, have you seen the white rubbery clots in the veins that many embalmers are finding in young people? Fascinating. Watched an embalmer from the UK yesterday on RUclips. ♥️♥️🌹🌹
Hi Tracy, theses clots are nothing new been around for many many years, if you talk to embalmed from the 60's and 70's it was around then and before that. Hope it's starting to warm up over in Boston 🥰❤️❤️
The worst Heebie Jeebies I ever got was also around 4:00 AM. I was working on a deceased when I heard a loud noise that startled me. It was the large metal exhaust fan on the wall above the sink. As I jumped and turned around, I could swear I saw a human hand and finger withdraw from the blades. Who, in their right mind would do that? Still disturbing, at least 10 or more years ago! I enjoyed the video, as always!😁
Oooh my that's so bloody scary 😳 I would have popped my pants. Thank goodness nothing as scary as that has happened to me. Thank you for sharing and not surprised it still scary to this day. Take care ❤️❤️
That's my biggest fear, not being dead, but i don't think that happens now a days.
Hi, no chance don't worry about that at all. Forgot about and enjoy every moment of your life instead 🥰❤️❤️
One night after work I offered to drop a casket cover off. And yes, It was starting to storm. I called the mortuary and told them I was on my way. They told me to go ahead and place it on the casket. I walked in the back and nobody was there. Usually they are bustling around. I noticed the corridor had many people in their caskets ready for their upcoming services. Then the thunder was going off! I got the big time heebie jeebies. I did my job and tried not to run out past the gentlemen in his suit and the lady in her choir robe laying in their caskets. I have NEVER felt that way in the day.
Got in my car and laughed at myself ❤️🐩😄
😬😳
Thank you for sharing ❤️❤️
It’s like people say to me how can you be up the Cemetery at night usually for Christmas and New Year and other holidays when it’s left open all night I say don’t bother me at all even the bats in the trees going nuts up there, my late Auntie Millie said exactly what you said Tracy, it’s the living you need to be afraid of not the dead.
Yip agree none the deseased person in the cemetery are going to harm you. I find walking through cemetery very calming. Thank you for sharing 🤗❤️❤️
Thanks!
Thank you for your support!
At the risk of sounding REALLY stupid, is 'lividity' the same as what may be termed 'Livor Mortis?' Thank you in advance, ladies ❤❤❤
Not stupid at all yes it's the same Gaggy 🥰❤️
Great info
Thank you 🙏❤️❤️
I worked in a hospice and the things we saw we took a lady down to the morgue put her in the fridge and we were filling paperwork in and screaming from the morgue the lady woke up we got her out immediately she hadn’t been in long took her back to the ward called her family only then we were told it had happened twice before in the hospital yet no one informed us about it, she was petrified of being buried alive when she finally did pass on we had volunteers take it in turns sitting with her as we promised for twelve hours then when we did all the checks took her down to the morgue
Well I certainly hope so. I have heard about people who have come back to life.
I’m a removal technician and no, typically we do not check for anything like that. By the time we are contacted and I’m on scene to collect the person, they’ve already been officially pronounced dead by doctor/medical examiner/coroner and custody of the remains have been released us.
Also it’s usually been HOURS since they died, so it’s pretty obvious. The only time it’s not is people on hospice, then half the time we’re there within an hour. If can be strange because they usually have heating pads on so they are very warm and don’t “feel dead”.
(Edited to add none of us in the funeral home have the ability to pronounce anyone dead. That’s a big reason why too)
Hi, thanks for sharing.
Yes we are certainly not doctors and don't pronounce people dead. Of course we know that theses people are dead like I say in the video it's only ever the nursing home or residential deaths we bring into care (after the doctor has done the life x) within an hour or two after dying that makes me a bit uncomfortable. I guess I just don't like touching warm bodies. I personally just prefer the body to rest peacefully for a while before any prep should happen.
Again thank you and have a great day 😊💚
Looking good ladies
Hi lovely, how are you it's good to hear from you 🥰🥰
Hi T&T, I have a question regarding, what a coroner does when examining a deceased person. I've recently had a relative pass away, I won't go into detail of how they passed. They are in the care of a coroner. What will the coroner examine? Also, would you be able to talk to a coroner about how they examine a body, maybe a demonstration video? also is the process in Australia the same in other countries e.g. Canada, America, Ireland, scotland, UK, NZ, etc. Thank you. You're a great team.🧡💛
Hi, think we will answer this in a video soon, thank you for your question take care ❤️❤️
We also have had a couple of people wander in at one particular mortuary.
Really! Xx
❤️❤️❤️❤️
❤️❤️
Was literally thinking about this yesterday, Saturday, 3/10/24, and about waking up during surgery, or if a person's heart beat is so low and slow that that they are mistakenly declared dead, then waking just before autopsy or as the scalpel begins cutting through their torso. Yikes !😮
😬😬❤️
Respect ❤too u Tracy 😘
Thank you so much 🥰❤️❤️
❤
❤️❤️
Love ur channel
Awww 🥰❤️❤️
❤❤❤
🥰🥰❤️❤️
When i have a passing, i turn down the heat in winter and turn up the AC in summer, to slow the decomposition process.
👍❤️❤️
OMG you should scare the hell out of her on April fools day and sneak in and jump out and see what Tracy does. lol
😂😂 that's been done to me before 😬❤️❤️
I had a cousin that was in a bad car accident in the late 60s. They pronounced him dead and the nurses was taking him to the morgue. She saw him move his foot and checked him out and he was alive. So that was how he survived that bad car accident.
😬😳😳 ❤️
We have graves here in the UK from Victorian times where there is a pipe and a bell to this day do you think something happened back then?
No, it was thought of the person was still alive in the coffin they can ring the bell. ❤️❤️
I now live in the flat where my father in law died 40 years ago. I often see him out of the corner of my eye. It has never bothered me. My granddad used to say its not the deceased you should be frightened of.
So true ❤️❤️
It's 1am in the morning, there's a raging storm, it's dark.....on top of all that the body's warm....!! 😂
Sorry, I shouldn't laugh ! 🤭
But I suppose you have to have a sense of humour, within reason, and I can't imagine for one second you'd ever be disrespectful, you're very professional Tracey, and you're both Lovely 😍
Thank you so much 🥰❤️❤️
I was an x ray tech. I 😊had a case in the morgue where the IV line was still attached
Hi, this often happens. thank you for sharing. take care xx
❤❤❤❤❤❤
💚❤️💚❤️💚
Love u girls
Awww thank you Rosemary ❤️❤️
Great video as always Ladies, love your channel ♥️ I don't know about anyone else, but if I were a robber or anything like that, the very last place I would want to break into and hide would be a funeral home💀👀 👀👀🤪
😂😂 yip not a place I would hid in the dark either and I work there 😉❤️❤️
Good evening ladies
❤️❤️
I used to worry that I would be alive and someone would start to embalm me . Scared the crap out of me .😂😂 Not anymore partially thanks to you two .❤❤
Yes that's definitely not going to happen 🥰❤️❤️
It would be awesome to have someone still be alive but I bet u would
crap your pants if they sat up and said, "Whatcha doin??" LOL
Ooh my goodness Kim can imagine that 😬😳 ❤️
What is the state of a person in ICU with constricted pupils pinpoint like. can they be dead already but on preservation awaiting family.? respirator and machines on.
Hi, sorry I am not an expert on this situation, I don't work in them areas. Sorry I can answer this, take care ❤️
Do ashes get mix together
No not at all ❤️
Years ago one of my co-workers who was in his 60's at the time told me this. He was a child and was riding his horse and for some reason the horse threw him. He was pronounced dead and taken to the morgue where he eventually woke up. He said his siblings were terrified of him and would not go near him because they thought he was a ghost. I wish I could tell it like he did because it was hilarious.
Oh wow 😳 thanks for sharing ❤️
HI just subbed to your channel. I love listening to you both. Also, can you take care of me when I die? lol- I want someone like you to take care of my body when I croak! Love your channel !
Awww thank you for your kind words 🤗
Let's hope you are going to live for many many many years yet but it would be a privilege to care for you ❤️❤️
Calm down, Trish! Too frisky! Calm her down, Tracy!😝♥
😆😉❤️
If you dont believe in life after death, you have not been here at the office at quitting time......😂😂😂
😂😂❤️❤️
Are you able to stay in touch with your mental health? I can imagine some of the cases you have to work with are really hard and tragic. It would be heartbreaking for me to deal with children or young people. 🙏❤️
I used exercise and lots of running to keep my mental health in check. ❤️❤️
Hi ladies 👋
Hello 🤗❤️❤️
Guys I don’t know where you are, I don’t mean to scare you. I’m a spiritualist and I do see spirit and if there are other spiritual guys watching this video, not sure what you can see….
But Trish, in the video there is an older man, quite tall and is beside you and then behind you he is just watching you and his left hand is touching your shoulder. Is there a loved one of yours or are you in the morgue? He doesn’t look happy. He could be protecting Tracy I don’t know. I just had to mention this. I’ve seen your video twice once on iPhone and on a 55 inch tv and he’s there.
Hi I think it my grandad (this is Tracy) I have been told he is with me all the time 🙂❤️
Do doors open and things fall off the shelves on their own?
Hi, no never 😊💚
Have you ever had someone that was alive? I’ve heard their have been cases of people their heart rate slows etc
Hi, no never ever in my 11 years. Definitely deseased by the time I receive a body into my care. Thank you for your question take care ❤️
Love your accent are you from County Durham or Newcastle by any chance?
Stanley Co Durham, spot on 🥰❤️
@@Areyoudyingtoknow awesome I'm in Bishop Auckland x
Block the ppl that talk that way…..no need to do that never
Thank you we will xx
Any closer to a name for the dummy? And yes those eyes that open and close creep me out too! All dolls freak me out generally. Their eyes look dead and yet menacing at the same time!
Yip I am with you not a lot very of dolls 😬 yes we are close to naming our new assistant 😉❤️❤️
Rigormortice was setting in on my mam before she died I didn’t think it possible ,can you confirm Trish I am right?
Hi there, we will aim to speak to a doctor and see if we can do this in an upcoming video. Tracy doesnt really deal in pathology of the living so we cant really answer that ourselves but will see what we can find out about why and how and whether it is considered paralysis in the living. We are sorry you had to go through that with your mum, our condolences 💜😔
Hi ❤
Hello 😊 ❤️❤️
Lost my mam last night so this is good for me what will happen with her so thanks girls
Ooh no we are so very sorry to hear 😔 sending you our deepest condolences 🌹🌹 please always be kind to yourself and take good care. Hope you are ok 🙏 sending you big hugs ❤️❤️
hi my name is kelly have you ever had a person that wasnt dead
Hi Kelly, no never ever in my 11 years doing this job. Thank you for your question take care 😊💚
How long have yall been doing these vlogs
Hi 4 years now ❤️❤️
Cool chicks
Thank you 🥰❤️❤️
0:05 Why did that first dead person bring a salad to the morgue with them?
That was not salad it was a small plant the family put on the chest from the garden ❤️
Really should show some respect ladies.
This not a game.
Just some unbelievable comments tbh.
We just rewatched this video and cant for the life of us, find anything remotely disrespectful. To the contrary, Tracy is nothing but respectful in her work. These questions were sent in by someone who genuinely wanted to know, and Tracy answered them honestly.
Are you two related???
No, we are best friends 💕
A Geordie mortician... in Australia? Or an Australian in Newcastle? Eh? you get trolls...?
I am from the North East of England living in Australia 🦘
Yip we do get trolls unfortunately 😔
@@Areyoudyingtoknow that’s a shame. Great channel too!
Zombies
🥺
You need a stethoscope
Yip 😉💚
People will video absolutely anything these days 😳🙄
People asked the question ❓
Thank you for your comments take care 😊
The die can hart u your moms an dads lied to u
I believe my mum and dad 😊
Have u ever embalmed or prepped anyone famous?
Only people that are famous in the area of Australia I live, such as politicians and local TV host but not big names that's know world wide. ❤️
@@Areyoudyingtoknow thank u
I could hardly inderstand her and somethings she said i did not understand at all. What kind of an accent is that? Was it even English?
Hi are you referring to Tracy the mortician? If you are she speaks english and is from the UK. Sorry she can not change her accent, thank you for your feedback.
You are so rude that is racial abuse. Put your subtitle on the cc which you can then read as she speaks. Or maybe just don't watch it. All nationalities are sometimes hard to understand but you don't be rude about it.
