    My grandpa passed in October of 2020. I am unbelievably grateful to the morticians who worked on him and worked with our family. He had an open-casket funeral and looked like he was asleep, so much so I wanted to jump in the casket and shake him awake. He was buried in his favorite shirt, blue jeans, and his favorite cowboy boots. He had his reading glasses in his shirt pocket, his favorite cowboy hat on his chest, and his dog's (who had died a month or so before him) cremains at his feet in the casket. He had a wonderful veteran service and I'll never forget it. God bless Frank and all those who work with the dead and the grieving families.

When it comes to the tiniest most helpless it's very serious 💔 Thank you for sharing this very difficult story 😢 I'll never forget when I had a c-section, my 1st and only baby and was up walking around as soon as possible and I noticed a specific wing decorated with butterflies above and around the doors. I finally asked a nurse very quietly why there were doors with butterflies and signs to be very quiet... she softly told me, "Those rooms are for mothers who have just lost a baby or the baby is dying." I didn't say a word as tears poured out of my eyes and down my cheeks... the nurse grabbed a tissue out of her pocket wiped my cheeks and quietly said, "Good job walking; go love on your healthy baby." ❤😢❤ My heart was so very heavy. I made sure to explain to my husband what the butterflies and quiet signs were for. Bless all the mothers who've lost a baby; I'm so sorry 💔😢

      It's interesting hearing all the details from this mortician as a Muslim because as part of our religion we don't do any embalming or cosmetics after death. Once dead, the body is washed in a particular way by the closest family members of the same sex as soon as possible and the deceased is buried in a plain pine coffin, generally and ideally within 24 hours. All of the funeral ceremony and viewing is basically combined into one ceremony where the family and friends do a prayer, view the body and then the body is taken directly to the graveyard. Tbh I'm not exactly sure why there's no embalming other than so the body can decompose naturally and go back into the earth over the time. As the funerals and viewings are done within 24hrs there really isn't any need for keeping the body viable for viewings for several days or even a week or more - which I've seen happen in several funerals for various types of Christians and a reformed Jewish family as well ... Very interesting stuff for some reason lol

    A mortician has more life and personality than Riley.

      Notice he didn't have Riley on this episode. He was probably scared of the dead air 😂

      I had to come to the video version and check. Nick mentioned having riley sit next to guests on the couch on these episodes. Would have been hilarious

      Take it easy on Riley...Theo is hella unpredictable, and that's why he is great. He is better off alone!

      Yeah. Go easy on the boy.
      I can assure you we would all be much more awkward at his age dabbling with the rat king.

    “Grill somebody down”. Theo, your brain is on fire. You’ve got my sense of humor, and if it wasn’t for my sense of humor, I probably wouldn’t have any sense at all.
