      Never thought YOU would be so naive even after watching so much videos and all that stuff, seems to be that you would still like everyone else lack the knowledge that he's a psychopath, you just got horrifyingly seduced into believing he is a nice charming person by a psychopath, let that sink in... especially like already mentioned YOU, after watching so much youtube videos you still haven't expanded your knowledge and insight into psychology and behavior of others or even recognize behavioral patterns and interpret them accordingly to their possible and pertinent intentions and their comportment, not even your emotional intelligence seems to have been influenced by this constant watching of random youtube videos, these are interesting, of great significance acknowledgements and data for my research on further and advanced study of psychology about individuals...

    Victor, if you see this, please know that you helped me get through a close friend's passing. He was young like me, and you never expect something like this to happen.
    During the viewing before the funeral, I noticed that his cheeks were pink and rosy, he didn't look caked in make-up and he simply looked asleep. I immediately thought about the things you mentioned about the red liquid and how it's used to bring color to faces. I also remembered how you talked about why morticians place the left hand over the right.
    All of those things were going through my head as I saw my good friend laying in the casket. And you know what? Knowing that he had received such good care because you detailed how bodies are to be handled and cared for brought some peace to my heart. Thank you, Victor. 🙏🏿

      Came looking for these videos to say the same!
      My grandpa passed away after an excruciatingly long time in the hospital, he was only the ghost of himself by the time he was gone, and all of us while being somewhat relieved that he was finally out of his suffering (if you've ever witnessed a loved one in a constant state of pain, you know what I mean), we did not want to remember him like that, and at first we wanted a closed casket so that other people wouldn't see him, because it was simply not fair to him...the mortician however reassured us, and did such an amazing job at preparing him that when we saw him in the casket we almost couldn't breathe, he looked more alive there than in his last months, so peaceful and serene that I fe it was almost therapeutic to us.
      I remembered Victor's videos, and same as you I felt better thinking of the care that the mortician must have put into doing such a great job and felt more grateful for it.

      The only mortician I knew was a raging alcoholic. He worked in a small town, and had to bury a lot of locals he grew up with. More than he thought he would have to, around his age even. The guy was a complete wreck. This was about 10 years ago and I DOUBT he's still alive now. He was almost in his 40s, late 30s. I'm like 100% sure he ended his life.
      This guy makes it seem like it's no pressure or emotional toll, but if that's the case he's a sociopath which explains his detached "charisma"

This man is no doubt a train wreck, but he’s learned how to hide it well.

      The only mortician I knew was a raging alcoholic. He worked in a small town, and had to bury a lot of locals he grew up with. More than he thought he would have to, around his age even. The guy was a complete wreck. This was about 10 years ago and I DOUBT he's still alive now. He was almost in his 40s, late 30s. I'm like 100% sure he ended his life.

So we probably have our fair share of undisturbed graves dating back literally 400 years. So if modern American zombies are all buried in sealed caskets with sealed jaws, our zombie apocalypse could just be the skeleton war.

    I recently lost my 2-year-old niece to RSV and we had an open-casket funeral for her. Everything that was talked about in these videos was in the back of my mind while I saw how peaceful she looked laying there. I'll never forget having to bury her so young😔

    Definitely should do a series with Victor. He's very enlightening on such a dampering subject. I honestly think it shouldn't be considered taboo, Death is natural and we'll all die eventually.

    what I love about this man:
    His name is perfect for a mortician
    His outfit is beautiful (I need his fashion secrets)
    His personality is awesome
    His profession is amazing
    He has some super interesting information that's cool to know
    and finally, the way he treats every question like a fun teacher makes me feel engaged rather than scared.
