Years ago when my mother passed, she wanted to be dressed in a nice 2 pc suit, pantyhose, blouse, under garments and her shoes. I felt so sorry for the mortician having to dress her because she was very swollen from liver failure and drugs she was given while in hospice. I told the nice man that he didn't have to do it because it was a closed casket, I had other options and clothes. God bless him, he did it anyway. I got to view her privately but no one else did per her request. I know that he had to cut all her clothes up to get them on her. What a difficult job that was for him to perform. Thank you for all your care and hard work to see the dead are taken care properly.
Thank you for sharing your story 🤗 it always good to hear other morticians doing a wonderful job in caring for our deseased. It's always and care, respect and dignity ❤️❤️
If explanations to graphic questions are too graphic, perhaps this educational channel isn’t for everyone. And graphic doesn’t mean inappropriate. Thank you for caring enough to educate without sugar coating answers.
I have to say ladies what you do is always done with dignity and respect. Deceased people deserve all the respect and dignity we can give them. People need to remember this is someone's, Mam, Dad. Brother, Sister. Family. Xx
I can't believe someone said virtue signaling. How stupid. I had a couple of videos up once and people were so mean. One comment was simply "you're ugly" lol. Thanks for continuing to make great, informative videos ❤
Hi Stacey, that just nasty. We have had a lot of comments like that your fat, your ugly, you are really old 🥴 but the worst one I had a long time ago was just awful. Said and I quote 'someone with a mole in the corner of they left eye, her children should die horrifically in a house fire' end quote. WTF does that even mean 🤔 anyhow we block that person. It's not a mole it's a beauty spot 😂 😂 Thank you for all your kind words and support 🤗 have a wonderful weekend 🥰❤️
It totally disgusts me that trolls have nothing better to do...but then if they had an ounce of intelligence, they'd ask a question and learn something 🤬
I want to thank the families who allow us to grieve along with them, as you show the services that families have for their loved one. The trucks used make me smile, knowing they are respecting their loved ones' last request.
So well articulated and answered. As an embalmer I feel exactly like you. I would never disrespect the person in my care. With our job comes responsibility. Unfortunately the masses nearly demand full access and they can’t have it and I hope it never changes. You guys rock ❤❤❤
Hi, thank you so much for your kind words 🙏 and yes you will totally understand, great to hear from another embalmer, thank you for all the work you do too 🥰❤️❤️
Nothing stranger than people! As for mass disaster I hope that never happens! As I’ve said before keep it up ladies.. love watching you both..it’s like chatting with mates
I always seem to be first 👀 super fan lol. The thing that sets you apart from other channels definitely the transparency, the good the bad and the ugly ❤️ Have a great weekend T&T XXX
Thank you for another lovely video ladies. People need to understand that it isn't virtue sampling. It's treating others with dignity and respect. We all have many questions about the dead but we should have some tact as well. Keep up the good work ❤
I appreciate your discretion on what you show and or talk about, and don't. I recently (well sorta, 8 months ago) lost my Mum to Cancer (F$@k Cancer!) and "wanted to know". Which is where I found you two. You Girls helped me through a lot and taught me even more as I couldn't be there for what I feel should have to help my Dad as Mum was in the UK as here I am in Texas. Regardless, I appreciate what you do, how you do it and helping me in the process. Don't change a thing!
Oh no we are so very sorry to hear 😔 sending you our deepest condolences 🌹🌹 Cancer is bloody awful 😞 Hope you are doing ok and looking after yourself. Take good care ❤️❤️
Thank you ladies for being so honest. You often get people that will just moan about anything to get a mention. There are a lot of sick people out there unfortunately. Just keep doing what you do. Love you guys. 🇬🇧🌹🌹🌹
Much respect for the hard work you do. The compassion you show in your videos describing what you do and how you do it so incredibly honorable. Sending love and Thanks to both of you.
The level of respect, dignity and compassion that you two ladies show to both the deceased person and their families is like a breath of fresh air because they’re people who would show the deceased person just for more views and money! You’re doing a wonderful job, God bless you both! All the way from Ireland 🇮🇪! 🙏🏻👍🏻😇🕊! Px
Tracey, you are both doing an awesome job in the way that you both talk about, what is a very delicate and difficult subject. As a former bereavement councillor and having studied all of the relevant areas of death, your allowing the public to ask the questions often not asked about because death is seen as a very taboo subject . Your channel has helped us understand the processes the funeral homes/ mortuaries go through to a grieving family at what is a very difficult time. Keep up your brilliant work, Best wishes Darren Barrand, of England, uk
Personally, I appreciate how you two handle these sorts of things. Always informational and educational, but respectful, appropriate, and dignified. You’re spot on with your handling of a very delicate subject. Thank you.
I love you both so much 💗💗 I'm still so sorry for asking that question about my son and you really eased my mind and can't thank you enough!! Sending love and big hugs 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Hi Cindy never ever be sorry for asking a question about your son we will stand up for you always ❤️ You lost your son and that's so very hard to cope with and if any tiny little question helped you out through you journey you now have to travel 😢 we are grateful we could help. Don't listen to negative people, some many of our beautiful subscribers wish you well and ask how you are doing 🤗 that's so very kind, we love you guys 🥰 always be kind to yourself ❤️❤️
You two are awesome. Your content is so interesting. Your humorous sides come through sometimes but when you are talking about the deceased, you are so respectful. I really look forward to your broadcasts. Thank you.❤️🌺❤️
Hi ladies, I feel that you answer questions in a way that is clear, concise and communicated in an amazing way. Keep up the amazing work. When I watch you I feel like friends having a chat about a topic.
Omg. You ladies do an amazing job. So friendly. Open and honest. Ther will always be people in life who think like they do. You have helped me a lot with the loss of my youngest daughter to understand the process of what she went through. Keep up the good work ladies. ❤
Great video ladies ❤️. I recently lost my Dad and started watching a couple of hospice nurses on here because I wanted to know a bit more about some of the things he went through at the end like visioning and talking to and hugging people I couldn't see. The hospice nurses that cared for him were very open, honest and kind in the way they explained the dying process to me, so when your channel popped up I started watching to find out what happens after death. My Dad had a "direct cremation" ie no funeral or memorial service, no viewing etc. He went straight from the Hospice facility to the undertakers to the crematorium a few days later. I assume he was just washed and prepared, wrapped and then sent off, but it's comforting to think that he was very well cared for during that process. The lovely lady I dealt with at the undertakers was just like you two, kind, caring and compassionate, and her business sounds just like the professional, caring one Tracy works for. So I'd like to think Dad was handled with as much love and care as the deceased that Tracy works with. The reason I stayed and subscribed to you, is because of the way you handle even the most delicate subjects, you answer with respect and dignity, you give difficult information honestly and still manage to keep things light with a touch of humour. I agree, there's enough guts and gore out there on the internet if people want it. As for your channel, I appreciate your integrity and I'm enjoying learning about stuff I had no idea I was "dying to know"😆
Oh wow thank you so very much for your beautiful words ❤️ you actually brought tears to my eyes, I do think doing this job is an absolute privilege that people like yourself entrust you loved ones to totally strangers and I am so happy to hear the funeral home that cared for your dad were kind, compassionate and caring, that warms my heart to hear. So very sorry for the loss of your dad 😞 sending you our deepest condolences 🌹🌹 Take good care and always be kind to yourself ❤️❤️
I think you two are great! Sometimes, you just can't win, no matter how hard you try. Some people are just too finicky, and there's no way to please them.
You provide valuable information in a respectful way that it also easy to understand. I don’t know why people have to say mean things to you. Keep up the great work.
I just had to pop on and thank you from the bottom of my heart for what you do and how you do it. You two women are simply amazing, and any accusations of "virtue sampling" (which sounds like some buzz word someone heard somewhere and just wanted to use it) are completely misguided. If a viewer is so lucky to find your channel, and has half a mind for empathy or sincerity, they would know that you are the real deal. I cannot imagine how difficult it must be to be in the industry AND on RUclips where the opinions and misunderstandings can be rampant. This is important work, and you deserve appreciation for addressing the challenge.
Awww thank you so much for your beautiful kind words 💕 So very lovely of you to say that, means a lot. Tracy here, yeah I had no idea about "virtue sampling" had to google it 🤦♀️ Again thank you and enjoy the rest of your weekend 🥰❤️❤️
Ladies you both are fantastic. I ❤you both and the utubes. You both are excellent in educating us. Your friend Richard Dewayne Howard in Florida, USA 🇺🇸
Great as always! When I first began performing autopsies, a tech asked my mentor, Chief ME Maggie Arruza (RIP) if a friend could come in and watch she said, “this isn’t a freak show…not everyone can just come in and hang out.” Most people think they want to see things but unfortunately, most times they can’t “unsee what has been seen.” Again, great video 🖤
Thank you from Texas!!!! Keep making the videos y'all. Very informative and funny. Hoping to go to school for this myself soon. Also, much respect for not showing to much.
Trish , Tracy you both keep doing what your doing just be you, that's why so many people watch your channel. Your both so down to earth, respectful and video are so interesting
I love your channel and the way you go about filming it. And as someone who recently saw her mom deceased in a coffin. I definitely don't care to see anyone else's family members. Plus, you've answered so many questions for me. Sorry, there are jerkes out there. Who ask inappropriate questions. Hope you know a lot of people appreciate you ladies for what you share ❤.
wow I have missed you ladies! Utube no longer sends me notifications of when you upload a new video so I have lots to catch up on, once again excellent job! BTW you both are so very respectful of our dead while giving education about a part of life that will happen to us all, you both rock!!
What a great question! This was answered exceptionally well! Credit to the both of you ladies and the way you direct this awesome channel. What’s this virtual sampling rubbish? If people don’t like the channel, or the way the questions are answered, well I guess can’t please everyone! I remember that mother and the flack she copped for asking a legitimate question. Respect to her for being so brave as I’m sure it was a difficult question for her to ask. I hope the answer given gave her a little bit of peace and comfort. As for those that gave her flack, shame on them for their insensitivity.
Thank you so much Niknax always so supportive 🥰 Yes that mother did tell us it help her so much and we are so glad we helped her ❤️ Big hugs to you 🤗❤️❤️
@@Areyoudyingtoknow thank you for the update. I’m glad that the mother found it helpful and helped her on her healing journey. I did find myself thinking about her at times. You ladies take time out of your busy schedules to make tasteful and insightful videos that lift that invisible veil. Keep being yourselves because you are both purrfect the way you are and the way this channel has grown is a reflection of you both x
Thank you ladies for these videos, I find them very educational. I went to view my Mum in the Chapel of Rest, 3 WEEKS after her death (as I couldnt decide before that, whether to go or not). My Mum still looked nicely preserved, although her mouth was formed into a strangely unnatural smile but I was pleased that I had gone. I touched her hair and her face, she was so cold ...
Ive loved your channel from day 1 and think u both are so respectful with how u handle everything! For those that think otherwise, I salute them with my middle finger up high!! 🤣😂💜Sending love from Wisconsin!!
🤣🤣 you tell them Kim with that fingers 😉 You have been with us always and we so much appreciated all the kindness you have given us and great questions and support 🙏 big love and hugs to you Kim always ❤️❤️🥰
I have watched your channel since the beginning. You give the information in a way to answer our questions without being overly dramatic, unnecessarily graphic or disrespectful. People who seem to comment negatively or troll on RUclips videos like to try to tear others down to feel better about themselves. I guess it's cheaper than therapy...
Can i just say ladies thankyou so much for all of your videos ive learnt so much you guys are so so amazing and so respectful and fun .... love from becky in Cheltenham glostershire England:)
Hi ladies I appreciate you guys I don't want to be I Embalmed.so how long can I be seened by my loved ones? Thank you for doing what you do for our loved ones U are a special lady
I enjoy your videos. You explain things well. And it seems like Trish will ask the right questions. I have to admit that the first time your video popped up I was a little bit Leary to watch it. Are you dying to know? WTH is this ? lol I clicked on the video and loved it. Wasn’t scary or weird, was informative. I’ve been watching ever since. ❤️❤️ pay no attention to the trolls, glad you block them. People can be so mean. Take care!!!!!
I heard COVID was considered a mass disaster here in the US. Bodies left in truck coolers in funeral home parking lots. I'm a true fan and love what you tell us to explain the process.
Hi Elizabeth, yes the USA was hit really badly in the beginning of COVID here in Queensland Australia we managed to keep the deaths low. Thank you for your all your support, we love it ❤️❤️
Hiya ladies. Thank you for all your hard work! What’s your favourite/least favourite part of your job? Also have you heard about the funeral home scandal in the UK? Any thoughts on this? Thank you
Hi yes we have heard about the scandal in the UK, it's heartbreaking sad and makes me so angry, it's so terrible sad for the family involved 😔 My lease favourite thing working in the mortuary is poo 💩 I hate 💩 luckily it's not often I have to clean away poo. Favourite 🤔 oh I don't know, think it has to be when I do a reconstruction in helping a family get that final goodbye in trauma cases that are usually not viewable. Great question thank you, take good care ❤️❤️
Hi. Hope you two are well, I love your channel , I have a question for you both, How did you cope with the COVID deaths, the contagious and the amount, or did they have different plans in place, I have often wondered?
Hi, thank you so much for your kind words 🙏 Here in Australia we didn't get the huge amount of death as was happening around the world. Australia went into a lockdown letting know one in our out of the country and we were also confined to our own suburbs and only people with essential jobs were allowed to work. Infact during all the lockdowns we had we had less deaths and we had to let a few staff members go because we did not have enough work. It was hard to believe that the world death were increasing and ours was declining. It was so very quiet it was just strange. Of course we have had many deaths from COVID now but just not like the rest of the world. Thank you for your question take care ❤️❤️
Some people love to see dead bodies... there one thing about curiosity but then certain individuals are a bit sick.... keep doing what you're doing ladies 😊 Lots of love from Derbyshire UK 🇬🇧
Love your videos ❤ Just watched your short about remiving devices before cremation. Back in the 60s, my grandma was the first woman in my country to get a plutonium powered pacemaker and when she died, doctors in hazmats had to remove it because of radioactivity. Are these still a thing that are used? Have you ever encountered them?
Thank you for your kind words. And for sharing your story and no never heard of these plutonium devices. So definitely are not used today it's all just battery powered device theses days. Take care ❤️❤️
Tracy: 🤔virtue sampling….. 🤭 I don’t know her and that’s ridiculous! I greatly appreciate your professionalism and respect. Ignore the crazy haters! I love you guys, again thanks for you both & the lovely information your putting out to us that have questions & general curiosity!
Hi lovely ladies.You do a great job on here.I have viewed many videos on RUclips about death.The only thing I wonder about,is coffins exploding in mausoleums.I thought the older a crypt is the dryer the body is.Like mummies.So I am amazed when there is liquid oozing out of the crypt that is 20yrs or older.
Yes that's a surprise because the body should be drying out and mummification should happen. Sounds to me like the body has not been embalmed properly and if not fully embalmed these areas will break down and turn to liquid. Take care 😊❤️❤️
My absolute favorite ladies on RUclips ❤ I’d love to see the trolls comments 😂 not cool. You guys ALWAYS explain things thoroughly and respectfully. That’s why I love yuz so. Gunther has an unbelievable show Body Worlds. I’m a nurse and I was shocked I got nauseous and had to step out. Everyone should see his work. xx
Thanks so much! You have been a huge support for years now Tracy and we thank you for that 🥰 Oh yes Gunther's shows are very confronting but hugely fascinating too. Seen his work many times here in Australia and the UK, not for everyone but worth a visit ❤️❤️
I have seen gunther von hagens tour years ago in manchester , i took my kids , it was the most amazing educational exibition ever, as a nurse the education was amazing x
Hi Ladies, can you please explain what the difference is between a TP and an embalm? I thought they were the same thing, but I've been told that's not correct.
Hi Vanessa, the same and not. We have done video on this but it was a while ago. Think we will revisit this one in a video because it's a long answer 😉 Thank you for your question take care 😊💚🙏
You guys carry on doing what you do,it’s just fine. Unfortunately there are a lot of weird people out there,they will just have to go elsewhere to satisfy their weirdness
People are naturally curious, inquisitive, morbid, and scared of what happens behind the scenes. I've worked "bagging, tagging, and photographing" and been present during formal ID being conducted by family and friends with police present. Some things are best left unknown people.
I would like to flip the script. Is there anything that we can do on the consumer side of death to build a good rapport with our funeral professionals? Are there things that families can or often do that make the funeral team feel uncomfortable or ways we can help you do your jobs? Also just a quick shout out, you are amazing and thank you for helping to bring death and funeral arts out of the taboo realm and into every day life.
Hi, thank you so much for your kind words 🙏 That's a good question and one I have never thought about. I don't really know what the answer would be, because when we meet the public it's always a a death of a family member and families are often lost in their own grief and trauma that it's difficult for them to think of anything but the loss. People often act in ways they never have before because of the loss, I think it would difficult for them to focus on helping the funeral home. We get shouted and screamed at often but it's not personal it's grief and we are trained in theses cases. You do have me thinking 🤔 that you for your question take care ❤️❤️
Tracy and yourself Trish are both respectfully some people are idiots sitting at home block that !! If you were here in scotland I would be happy for my mother and summer to see me when I've gone. Mum watched you the vid summer had her shout out and looks like you have another subscriber my mum.xx love you always from aberdeen scotland.xx❤❤
This depends so much on where you are and the circumstances. Embalming is a graphic and confronting process at the best of times. There would only be a smell if the body was decomposed.
Omg i give you full permission to fully broadcast my short comings. Just a reminder snow white coffin ⚰️ and completely naked. Lol. Luvd the flashback Trish has had some amazing hair donts in the past but its gr8 to see Tracy channelling madonna circa 92. Luv ya vids kids always educating and very respectful 😊
Years ago when my mother passed, she wanted to be dressed in a nice 2 pc suit, pantyhose, blouse, under garments and her shoes.

So very sorry for the loss of your dad 😞 sending you our deepest condolences 🌹🌹
Take good care and always be kind to yourself ❤️❤️
Thanks ladies,,your both wonderful. Hugs
You are so welcome 🤗 🥰❤️❤️
I think you two are great! Sometimes, you just can't win, no matter how hard you try. Some people are just too finicky, and there's no way to please them.
Awww 🥰 thank you so much 🙏
You are right we can not please everyone ❤️❤️
Hi, ladies!! Just found your channel recently & have been binge-watching. Your info & experience are very interesting & informative. Thank you!!🦋🧸
Awesome! Thank you! And welcome to the channel 🥰❤️❤️
You provide valuable information in a respectful way that it also easy to understand. I don’t know why people have to say mean things to you. Keep up the great work.
I appreciate that! Thank you so much 🙏 it's just so sad some people are mean to other.
Take good care and have a wonderful weekend ❤️❤️
I just had to pop on and thank you from the bottom of my heart for what you do and how you do it. You two women are simply amazing, and any accusations of "virtue sampling" (which sounds like some buzz word someone heard somewhere and just wanted to use it) are completely misguided. If a viewer is so lucky to find your channel, and has half a mind for empathy or sincerity, they would know that you are the real deal. I cannot imagine how difficult it must be to be in the industry AND on RUclips where the opinions and misunderstandings can be rampant. This is important work, and you deserve appreciation for addressing the challenge.
Awww thank you so much for your beautiful kind words 💕
So very lovely of you to say that, means a lot.
Tracy here, yeah I had no idea about "virtue sampling" had to google it 🤦♀️
Again thank you and enjoy the rest of your weekend 🥰❤️❤️
Ladies you both are fantastic. I ❤you both and the utubes. You both are excellent in educating us. Your friend Richard Dewayne Howard in Florida, USA 🇺🇸
Thanks so much Richard you are always so kind ❤️❤️🥰
Nice new look Trish (not hitting on you too old too married) glad you posted this information please keep educating us
Thank you! Will do! ❤️❤️
NEW SUBSCRIBER
Ladies, insightful and respectful ❤
Yeah welcome to the channel and thank you ❤️❤️
Great as always! When I first began performing autopsies, a tech asked my mentor, Chief ME Maggie Arruza (RIP) if a friend could come in and watch she said, “this isn’t a freak show…not everyone can just come in and hang out.” Most people think they want to see things but unfortunately, most times they can’t “unsee what has been seen.” Again, great video 🖤
So very true Missy. 🖤🖤
Thank you from Texas!!!! Keep making the videos y'all. Very informative and funny. Hoping to go to school for this myself soon. Also, much respect for not showing to much.
Thank you so much for your kind words 🙏
Hope you do go to school to study this it's a very rewarding job. Take good care out in Texas ❤️❤️
I think that you handle everything in such a sensitive manner especially difficult subjects, so thank you from sue x
Hi Sue, thank you so much for your kind words 🤗❤️❤️
Trish , Tracy you both keep doing what your doing just be you, that's why so many people watch your channel.
Your both so down to earth, respectful and video are so interesting
Thanks so much 😊 and thank you for all your support and kind words, always so lovely 😍❤️❤️
I love your channel and the way you go about filming it. And as someone who recently saw her mom deceased in a coffin. I definitely don't care to see anyone else's family members. Plus, you've answered so many questions for me. Sorry, there are jerkes out there. Who ask inappropriate questions. Hope you know a lot of people appreciate you ladies for what you share ❤.
Thank you so much you are always so kind 🥰❤️❤️
I think you're doing the community a service and given us choice in our end of life care.
Thank you ❤️❤️
I love your friendship and how different you are make a wonderful match… you’re so blessed…
😊 thank you ❤️❤️
wow I have missed you ladies! Utube no longer sends me notifications of when you upload a new video so I have lots to catch up on, once again excellent job! BTW you both are so very respectful of our dead while giving education about a part of life that will happen to us all, you both rock!!
Oh that's strange have you subscribed? To make sure you get notifications. Well glad your back and thank you 😊❤️❤️
You girls are lovely thanks 🙏 for speaking to us
You are more welcome 🤗 and thank you for your kind words ❤️❤️
What a great question! This was answered exceptionally well! Credit to the both of you ladies and the way you direct this awesome channel.
What’s this virtual sampling rubbish?
If people don’t like the channel, or the way the questions are answered, well I guess can’t please everyone!
I remember that mother and the flack she copped for asking a legitimate question. Respect to her for being so brave as I’m sure it was a difficult question for her to ask. I hope the answer given gave her a little bit of peace and comfort. As for those that gave her flack, shame on them for their insensitivity.
Thank you so much Niknax always so supportive 🥰
Yes that mother did tell us it help her so much and we are so glad we helped her ❤️
Big hugs to you 🤗❤️❤️
@@Areyoudyingtoknow thank you for the update. I’m glad that the mother found it helpful and helped her on her healing journey. I did find myself thinking about her at times.
You ladies take time out of your busy schedules to make tasteful and insightful videos that lift that invisible veil. Keep being yourselves because you are both purrfect the way you are and the way this channel has grown is a reflection of you both x
Awww 🥰 and you have been with us all the time ❤️🌹🌹
@@Areyoudyingtoknow ❤️❤️❤️
without theses two wonderful ladies ... I would not have been so educated on the funeral process ,, love and light
Thank you so much 🥰❤️❤️
Thanks again for a great video.
Thank you 🥰❤️❤️
Thank you ladies for these videos, I find them very educational. I went to view my Mum in the Chapel of Rest, 3 WEEKS after her death (as I couldnt decide before that, whether to go or not). My Mum still looked nicely preserved, although her mouth was formed into a strangely unnatural smile but I was pleased that I had gone. I touched her hair and her face, she was so cold ...
Big hugs 🤗💜❤️
Ive loved your channel from day 1 and think u both are so respectful with
how u handle everything! For those that think otherwise, I salute them with my middle finger
up high!! 🤣😂💜Sending love from Wisconsin!!
🤣🤣 you tell them Kim with that fingers 😉
You have been with us always and we so much appreciated all the kindness you have given us and great questions and support 🙏 big love and hugs to you Kim always ❤️❤️🥰
The 2 of you should have a talk show on television! Love your videos!
🤣🤣 Tracy would never shut up 🤣❤️❤️
I have watched your channel since the beginning. You give the information in a way to answer our questions without being overly dramatic, unnecessarily graphic or disrespectful. People who seem to comment negatively or troll on RUclips videos like to try to tear others down to feel better about themselves. I guess it's cheaper than therapy...
Thank you David and it's people like you who keep us going. You have always be kind and supportive always and we thank you for that ❤️❤️
Awesome!! 😊
Thank you! ❤️❤️
Can i just say ladies thankyou so much for all of your videos ive learnt so much you guys are so so amazing and so respectful and fun .... love from becky in Cheltenham glostershire England:)

Hi ladies I appreciate you guys
I don't want to be I
Embalmed.so how long can I be seened by my loved ones?
Thank you for doing what you do for our loved ones
U are a special lady
Hi Barbara, we did a vid on this in the last few weeks. It should answer your questions.
Would love a tour of your studio when finished :) and thank you for another wonderful video!
It's small not much of a tour but hopefully the sound is much better 🥰❤️❤️
@@Areyoudyingtoknow even if its small, its something to be proud of :) The sound is perfect lol
I enjoy your videos. You explain things well. And it seems like Trish will ask the right questions. I have to admit that the first time your video popped up I was a little bit Leary to watch it. Are you dying to know? WTH is this ? lol I clicked on the video and loved it. Wasn’t scary or weird, was informative. I’ve been watching ever since. ❤️❤️ pay no attention to the trolls, glad you block them. People can be so mean. Take care!!!!!
Thanks for the feedback and for sticking with us. 💜
I think you both do a good job of answering questions.
Thank you so much 🥰❤️❤️
I heard COVID was considered a mass disaster here in the US. Bodies left in truck coolers in funeral home parking lots. I'm a true fan and love what you tell us to explain the process.
Hi Elizabeth, yes the USA was hit really badly in the beginning of COVID here in Queensland Australia we managed to keep the deaths low.
Thank you for your all your support, we love it ❤️❤️
I love watching you both. Such lovely ladies and very inspiring ❤ have to subscribe as i just love you both 💞
Awww thank you so much 🥰 welcome to the channel ❤️❤️
Another question my cousin passed away and when we went to see him at his lay out he was discolored he was green looking why?
Thank you for sharing
Hiya ladies. Thank you for all your hard work! What’s your favourite/least favourite part of your job? Also have you heard about the funeral home scandal in the UK? Any thoughts on this? Thank you
Hi yes we have heard about the scandal in the UK, it's heartbreaking sad and makes me so angry, it's so terrible sad for the family involved 😔
My lease favourite thing working in the mortuary is poo 💩 I hate 💩 luckily it's not often I have to clean away poo. Favourite 🤔 oh I don't know, think it has to be when I do a reconstruction in helping a family get that final goodbye in trauma cases that are usually not viewable. Great question thank you, take good care ❤️❤️
Hi. Hope you two are well, I love your channel , I have a question for you both, How did you cope with the COVID deaths, the contagious and the amount, or did they have different plans in place, I have often wondered?
Hi, thank you so much for your kind words 🙏
Here in Australia we didn't get the huge amount of death as was happening around the world. Australia went into a lockdown letting know one in our out of the country and we were also confined to our own suburbs and only people with essential jobs were allowed to work. Infact during all the lockdowns we had we had less deaths and we had to let a few staff members go because we did not have enough work. It was hard to believe that the world death were increasing and ours was declining. It was so very quiet it was just strange. Of course we have had many deaths from COVID now but just not like the rest of the world. Thank you for your question take care ❤️❤️
Virtue
Signalling? That’s hilarious. I’ve never seen either of you do that.
Hi Rebecca I hadn't heard of it till Trish told me 🤷♀️ some people 🤦♀️
🥰❤️❤️
Some people love to see dead bodies... there one thing about curiosity but then certain individuals are a bit sick.... keep doing what you're doing ladies 😊
Lots of love from Derbyshire UK 🇬🇧
Awww thank you so much 🥰 hugs to you our in beautiful Derbyshire UK ❤️❤️
Love your videos ❤ Just watched your short about remiving devices before cremation. Back in the 60s, my grandma was the first woman in my country to get a plutonium powered pacemaker and when she died, doctors in hazmats had to remove it because of radioactivity. Are these still a thing that are used? Have you ever encountered them?
Thank you for your kind words.
And for sharing your story and no never heard of these plutonium devices. So definitely are not used today it's all just battery powered device theses days. Take care ❤️❤️
I have learnt so much from you ladies, the way you describe thing's is perfect . Just remember there is always a few cracked eggs in the basket 😅
🤣 I like that saying, never heard it before 😂
Thank you so much ❤️❤️
Tracy: 🤔virtue sampling….. 🤭
I don’t know her and that’s ridiculous! I greatly appreciate your professionalism and respect. Ignore the crazy haters! I love you guys, again thanks for you both & the lovely information your putting out to us that have questions & general curiosity!
Oh thank you! ☺️ And thank you for all you support, you are always so kind 🥰🩷🩷
Hi lovely ladies.You do a great job on here.I have viewed many videos on RUclips about death.The only thing I wonder about,is coffins exploding in mausoleums.I thought the older a crypt is the dryer the body is.Like mummies.So I am amazed when there is liquid oozing out of the crypt that is 20yrs or older.
Yes that's a surprise because the body should be drying out and mummification should happen. Sounds to me like the body has not been embalmed properly and if not fully embalmed these areas will break down and turn to liquid. Take care 😊❤️❤️
Thank you Ma'am. It is good to know.I have watched lots of videos online,so i have a limited knowledge of decomp.@@Areyoudyingtoknow ❤
My absolute favorite ladies on RUclips ❤ I’d love to see the trolls comments 😂 not cool. You guys ALWAYS explain things thoroughly and respectfully. That’s why I love yuz so. Gunther has an unbelievable show Body Worlds. I’m a nurse and I was shocked I got nauseous and had to step out. Everyone should see his work. xx
Thanks so much! You have been a huge support for years now Tracy and we thank you for that 🥰
Oh yes Gunther's shows are very confronting but hugely fascinating too. Seen his work many times here in Australia and the UK, not for everyone but worth a visit ❤️❤️
I have seen gunther von hagens tour years ago in manchester , i took my kids , it was the most amazing educational exibition ever, as a nurse the education was amazing x
It is amazing seen it a few times now, twitch in London and a few times here in Australia. It's just fascinating ❤️❤️
Hi Ladies, can you please explain what the difference is between a TP and an embalm? I thought they were the same thing, but I've been told that's not correct.
Hi Vanessa, the same and not.
We have done video on this but it was a while ago. Think we will revisit this one in a video because it's a long answer 😉
Thank you for your question take care 😊💚🙏
You guys carry on doing what you do,it’s just fine.
Unfortunately there are a lot of weird people out there,they will just have to go elsewhere to satisfy their weirdness
Thank you so much 🥰❤️❤️
People are naturally curious, inquisitive, morbid, and scared of what happens behind the scenes. I've worked "bagging, tagging, and photographing" and been present during formal ID being conducted by family and friends with police present. Some things are best left unknown people.
Thank you, yes it's best ❤️❤️
I would like to flip the script. Is there anything that we can do on the consumer side of death to build a good rapport with our funeral professionals? Are there things that families can or often do that make the funeral team feel uncomfortable or ways we can help you do your jobs?
Also just a quick shout out, you are amazing and thank you for helping to bring death and funeral arts out of the taboo realm and into every day life.
Hi, thank you so much for your kind words 🙏
That's a good question and one I have never thought about. I don't really know what the answer would be, because when we meet the public it's always a a death of a family member and families are often lost in their own grief and trauma that it's difficult for them to think of anything but the loss. People often act in ways they never have before because of the loss, I think it would difficult for them to focus on helping the funeral home. We get shouted and screamed at often but it's not personal it's grief and we are trained in theses cases. You do have me thinking 🤔 that you for your question take care ❤️❤️
Tracy and yourself Trish are both respectfully some people are idiots sitting at home block that !! If you were here in scotland I would be happy for my mother and summer to see me when I've gone. Mum watched you the vid summer had her shout out and looks like you have another subscriber my mum.xx love you always from aberdeen scotland.xx❤❤
Awww bless your mum, give her a big hugs from us 🤗🤗❤️❤️
Good afternoon ladies some families can ask questions but not inappropriate ones also its being respectful for the families
It is thank you 🥰❤️❤️
Virtue signaling? Pffffffffffft! You girls are FAR from that! You are doing a bang up work on your channel and keep 'em coming! Don't change anything!
Awww thank you so much for all your support too 🥰❤️❤️
Are most of the embalmings without the overwhelming smell of death and decomposition? What percentage would be uncomfortable for the unaccustomed?
This depends so much on where you are and the circumstances. Embalming is a graphic and confronting process at the best of times. There would only be a smell if the body was decomposed.
Omg i give you full permission to fully broadcast my short comings. Just a reminder snow white coffin ⚰️ and completely naked. Lol. Luvd the flashback Trish has had some amazing hair donts in the past but its gr8 to see Tracy channelling madonna circa 92. Luv ya vids kids always educating and very respectful 😊
🤣🤣 ok we will remember that 😉 naked, clear coffin oh with maybe the red rose 🌹 in the appropriate place 😉
Yes they has been some hair styles 😄 ❤️❤️
@@Areyoudyingtoknow a boquet thank you. Lol 👅
Omg this is making me understand what happens just lost my mam last week blood cancer
Ooh no we are so very truly sorry for hear this 😔 we both send you our deepest condolences 🌹🌹
Please take good care of yourself 😘❤️❤️
