You do understand that the true affects after death do take place after you die and you face the consequences of the actions you took in life, right?
She's visibly more interested (in literally every single movement, mannerism, and scene), in SEEMING HOT and DIMURE than she is in describing what she does. This woman very highly fancies herself
Can you talk about testimonies of evil spirits and sigils in the mortuary? Maybe some dead people had tattoos
Unfair if we allow female to bath death male body (when the reverse hypocrit mainstream always b itching s3xism). Men with men too then, esp this is asian female who always complain about men mortician on female corpse.. Fyi many asian nurse photo touch nak d boy in an innap way during circum here
Mainstream & media always whinning if male bath female corpse, yet this female okay if her Male fam member's corpse been bath touch by female mortician, hypocrisy
“They haven’t talked back yet” girl i hope tf not
I always talked to them too. 20 yrs in the medical field, I felt honored to take care of them
Lmao
😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hahahaha same same gurl
Imagine if she saw a ghost
Ghost : BOOO
Her : Oh hi Jeremy
Ghost : Oh hi Miranda how’s life
Her : How’s your...opps
SKSKSKSSKS
And I- oop

Agree! No piety!
She is enjoying every minute of it..🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
When my dad passed, he looked 98, he was actually 78. When the funeral home was finished, he looked like he was 50. It was an amazing comfort. He didn't look sick, in agony, scared. Amazing people
The opposite happened to me. Last week my dad died and he died at 47 his bday is actually been today. He died looking his age and the mortician somehow made him look older and wider in the face something was wrong with his nose too. It’s was a difficult experience
that must have been very disheartening, I'm sorry. @@Thebakeryshoppe
@@Thebakeryshoppe that's devastating. Sorry for your loss. Love and well wishes to you. My dad just turned 50 this makes me want to appreciate him more😥 I'm so attached to my parents i feel like I'd want to die with them too.. no way i could EVER cope wity loosing them tf
😢😢😢😢😢😢
I can't say the same for when my mom passed the funeral home that had her did a bad job and that's why I've been thinking of going into mortuary science to make families have the experience you had with your dad.
We all need to ask ourselves why are we watching this
I agree
Because I want to be a mortician.. duh
Yes yes I see what you mean
Fun

this is what self-quarantine has done to my recommended

Miranda talking to dead body: Your hair looks pretty
Dead Body: Thanks!
Miranda: Aw Hell naw

Lol 😆

What a strong beautiful woman. I had a stillborn son, my family spent 24 hours w his body then the mortician took him. She had her baby mortuary in her home. It was such a lovely place we dropped off his clothing. She sang to him while she dressed him. Everything was done so kind and beautifully. Takes a special person.
That’s devastating, I’m so sorry for your loss.
@@KingsMom831 Thank you for your kindness.
💕 Thank you for sharing.
Sorry for your loss, my grandson was stillborn,😢 I lost a son from cancer .

If I never seen this video I would have never taken the step to start mortuary school. Here I am now with 6 weeks until graduation!! Thank you so much you really inspired me
How’s it going?
congratulations and how is it going !!!!
Congrats and please Update us! :)
❤️❤️
It’s going great. I’m glad I finally made that decision and got it done.
I feel like she could be someone from American horror stories.
Thank you!!
literally! they need someone like her. sally is my favorite from AHS but this girl could be right up there
I KNOW RIGHT
Haha
its like she's hiding something fetish
Miranda on a date:
Her date: “So, what’s your body count?”

"its not the dead that can hurt you, its the living." Well said!
I am 4th generation funeral home worker and my grandfather used to say this all the time. Personally, I've never had an issue with a dead guy. A living one? All the time
My mum always said, fear the living not the dead
You can’t heal what you don’t reveal
I agree with you and I believe it. The dead are innocuous. I am more afraid of the living people who can hurt, harm, even kill, especially when they do not possess of the love of Jesus Christ in their hearts. As a teenager, I have seen corpses in the funeral home, even in the preparation room. The dead were not so scary as some of the living people walking around.
They all say that line
I’m enrolling into mortuary school in the fall of 2023. I love this video so much! Very fascinating 🥰
I was just accepted for this fall 2022. I'm very excited.
@@ccn9001 congratulations!
Omg sameeeee where???
Is no one gonna talk about the fact that she has a cup literally labelled "EMBALMING FLUID"
@Angee Nix 316 people likes his comment so he isn't the only one..
So no one gonna touch it .. clever 😁
Typical sort light humor common to many professions if you ask me...like Plummers with Roto Rooter coffee cups
Angee Nix no I did too ur the only one who didn’t notice it 🤢🤮
Noticed and thought it was funny and clever because it’s related to her job? Reminds me of haunted houses with feeling boxes that say “brains” “intestine” “eyeballs”
My grandma passed on a week ago today. I took care of her hair,makeup,and nails. I didn’t want a stranger getting her ready. Never done it before on someone who passed on but I was told by family that she looked really good. I felt good also taking care of her. She took care of me in life so in death I took care of her.
Juliana Maio bitch go some where else and spread hate
Juliana Maio get out of here with that negativity 😒
@Juliana Maio Y'all be so damn weird sometimes. It's her fucking grandma and she wanted to serve her in a respectful way to give back for what she did when living. Y'all find any way to hate and it's so damn annoying. If you got a reason to why you submitted that, tell us. Quickly. Cause this is not what we finna do.😐
God bless you
Juliana Maio Go fuck yourself
She's embalmed my grandmother and grandfather. They put on great funerals. Nice ppl. Lovely place.
it's always a good comfort to know those who take care of our loved ones are passionate about their work and take care of the families and people they are serving. She seems really nice.
I NOT SAYING SHE DOESN'T HAVE SKILLS IT'S JUST I DON'T KNOW I JUST FIND HER JUST A TAD MORBID
Thats great and all but i wouldn't want someone touching me after playing with witchcraft or my family just very disturbing behavior id fire her
@@carlosvazquez7437 What did you expect? that she dress and act like Big Bird?
sorry for your loss
My mom looked so beautiful in her casket. I wanted to take a photo but didn't for fear of judgment. I regretted that for a while, but don't now because I remember so much more of her than just that day of deep pain.
I have to say I adore your retro style as it suits you very well. You are a credit to your profession.
So sorry for your loss😞 hope that you are doing ok now 🙏 ❤️ 😊
I took a pic of my Mom
I would like to do this, but the fact you’ll come across kids and babies would shatter me, all my respect to this lady!!
So right you spoke my mind
Somehow im not spooked by seeing kids get hurt even my little brother
Brescia yeahhh you sure you dont need help?
Brescia uhhhh she’s talking abt more than hurt
I totally agree
I've noticed that all morticians have a peculiar fashion sense lol they almost always look to be in the wrong era
Most of them could be actors, they are so professional, well spoken, and dress nicely. It seems like they have a better view on life than someone who doesn't work with people who have passed.
i'm studying to be one and i'm a tradgoth / 80's goth lol
They dress not to kill, but to look creepy.
@@aaa-tm5kv I’m fixing to begin my college career this fall to become a Medical Examiner, but I’m hoping to get started working with death by getting a job at a funeral home first, while going to college.
They aren't but rather we are
I like how she enters the casket room like she's doing a Vogue 73 Questions.
I-
True
🤣🤣🤣
♥️
OMG LOL
I wanted to become a mortician since I was a teenager, but I ended up going into nursing instead (secondary to life events which would take too long to explain). After nursing for almost 20 years, I’m feeling so burned out and seriously considering a career change. I think it’s time for me to go back to school and follow my true calling!
Bravo to this lovely lady, and bravo to the maker of this short video. It was VERY well done. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
What are you thinking of?
Imagine she is doing someone's makeup and then they just say"oh this isn't really my color do you have something brighter"
🤯😂
Oh my bad- *wait*
And Oop (edit:thx for likes )
*Wait whUut?*
I'm a random person Does this look like what you are looking for?
She found something she's good at and she's making a difference by pursuing her passion. I respect that.
Tako Yaki do you know you got so many likes
Ilse ummm... probably
Don't you think
asmr lover i think so too but maybe he or she didn’t
Ilse because they get notifications when someone likes their comment or when someone replies to their comment, so that's why I said that
asmr lover oh i don’t have that like thing lol
IMAGINE driving home with a dead body in the backseat I-
🤧and the scary thing is that thinking that THE BODY WILL MOVE!😵
Every weekend with my friends After the bar tour
If this will do or die challenge for me then sure but I have to keep an eye on the body if it moves or comes closer to me every time I look away while driving 😂😂😂
@@philfromthefuture i swear the best comment lol
Eminem had his on the front passenger seat
“I believe women in the death industry are the change we need” 🤔🤷♂️ How does she think it’s “lightening the load” for grieving families? What does that even mean?
"Whatever happens should happen with respect and dignity " wow so beautiful !!!
Agree
👍🏻 you are right my friend prisha
This girl is so respectful and she seems so caring. I wish everyone that dealt with our loved ones bodies could be like this also
They are, most funeral directors and morticians are very good people, being people whos jobs are dedicated to giving families those last few moments with loved ones.
ur wrong and so r the 3.8 k who liked ur comment..ur all v naive
@@IwasBlueb4 I agree. I didn't find this woman caring or particularly respectful at all. To me she just seemed weird and a little full of herself.
Except she demeans men in the industry. She more than implies that men can’t help those grieving.
Would you praise a male mortician who suggested that female morticians don’t have what it takes to care for those grieving?
@Anonymous Humanbeing Why the unnecessary apostrophe? The word is "cameras".
she’s in a business that everyone’s dying to get into.
Virudshigaa P ha
I laughed WAY to hard 🤣
Nice!
Omg 😂😂👌🏽
😅😂😂
She’s actually inspirational. Everything she said is actually so professionally said & cares about. Hope she hasn’t had them deceased talk back. Damn
She's basically a Tim Burton character and I love it
Linda Brzobohatá OMG FOR real
Yessss, now I want a movie about jt
She's like a Disney princess giving a tour of her kingdom
right...
Oh hell tf no
um.. at least you tried.. your on the right lines but maybe not.. uh
She makes a ton of cash so
BAHAHHAHA
When my ex wife died from the ravages of melanoma there was nothing left of her. The embalmer made her look so good and that's how my kids remember their mom. These people are truly a blessing. Thank you
god will bless you and your kids ❤
Rest on Mrs
I’m so sorry
I'm so sorry. My mother died from melanoma in 1987 when she was only 38 years old. Sadly, the funeral home did not make her look so good.
May her dear soul rest in peace
I actually went to high school with her. We didn't really know each other but it was a small town.
"Sometimes I talk to them but they haven't talked back yet" I love this woman ♥️♥️♥️
That was funny but wierd. LOL.😂
I said the same thing to someone recently while working!
and thats psycho
She disrespectful
666th liker .-.
I like her style. Looks like she walked off of a 1950s magazine right into modern times.
Destany ikr she rocks it
Margarbie Adams yes!
And she is sooo elegant 😍
More 1960's imo, no?
Destany ikr she looks great too
She looks like she could have lived back in the fifties or sixties.
an old soul
It’s called vintage
Vampire or immortal
@@rubenpretorius3436 lol no she just dresses in a very vintage style
thats her style
'retro chic'
I like her. She respects the dead and doesn't seem to just see dollar signs and a body. Lord knows we need these people.
Lacey Noel I was thinking the exact same thing!
Ikr!
It says at the start that it's 16 billion a year.
@cerulean Konie...My Dad was making $150,000 a year before he retired. It's not about the money though. If I went into it, I'd make barely $40k a year. My Dad would do so many funerals a year at no charge or help people out anyway possible. He ran these funeral homes, but did right by the families. How can you overcharge someone when they are grieving? Most in the business HATE the financial aspect. I work in an ER & hate asking for copays! I grew up in the business. It's not as bad as you all think! Directors will work with you. My Dad did so many pro bono...he was pushed to retire.
It's not the morticians that are greedy bastards. It's the funeral home owners and directors. Avoid chain mortuaries. Absolute fucking vultures.
She looked like she is from the 50's ... I love it❤️❤️
i will follow you on roblox my roblox name is raynalove1 and SAME!!! i loveeeeee her style!!!!!!!!

She kinda looks like Jackie Kennedy almost

It’s comforting to know there are people out there like her who are driven to ensure human dignity even in death! Well done!
She’s like living in 1942 or something like, she looks old fashioned.
Vintage style not vintage values
DID YOU EVER find surprised WHEN dressing up dead body ALL OF A sudden THAT THEY was alive
I thinks THAT MY PARENTS WAS still alive WHEN funeral home came OVER took THEIR'S BODY THAT'S WHY I ASKED IF YOU EVER found THEM still alive
More like the 60s
Ikr lol
She kind of creeps me out but I'm also fascinated by her aesthetic.
WHERE'S MY WIG kinda a weirdo. and she's ugly too

@@sandymurphy5867 ..come on now stop that shes awesome
Curtis Stapleton werido
Did she say “I’m heading to go get the deceased that expired”.... what in the blue hell
The word she used was decedent..(that yes,means a dead person)...but she added just expired..to mean was like not long ago,recently.
Mama's Kitchen that’s not a joke, doctors in the medical field use that term too, even when telling a family that their loved one died 😳
Lol
I thought it was strange too haha It’s a little more dignified I guess🤷🏻 at least she didn’t say “I’m gonna go haul a dead women around”
I remembered I went to the cashier to sign some signature for my cousin's burial and then the cashier told me that "oh tha one that EXPIRED?" i was so freaaaking mad and I literally slap the cashier lop
As someone who works in the industry. I LOVE YOU.. so much respect for the loved one. I'd love to work for s funeral home like this! The fact that the families can actually SEE the casket option is just perfect for me.
Doing kids is what stops me from becoming an embalmer, but I'm still looking more into it & getting more input from ppl
She looks the part as well. She looks like she lived over 100 years and takes the life that the bodies could’ve have lived and add them to her lifespan-
They should make a movie out of this!
ok movie idea
She looks older than 30 also
jk rowling: "WRITE THIS DOWN, WRITE THIS DOWNN-"
hOLD ON MAYBE YOU'RE ON TO SOMETHING-
I feel like this would be the coolest Netflix series!
+king.josiiah.reaacts1 We agree!
There is a show on Netflix called The Casketeers. It's about a family that owns a funeral home. It's a really cute tv show and respectful.
Netflix show..The Casketeers..super cute tv show!
Way ahead of you...Six Feet Under...
@@gcopter1963 Oh my that's an old one but a great show. The others tho are reality shows so different.
Is it just me or the female morticians I've gotten to know tend to have a vintage-looking style of sort? Like it feels like it's a requirement to have if you want to be a mortician and you identify as female. :P Not gonna lie it's a nice aesthetic to mix with the theme of death.
Edit: so many likes! Ty!
I think it's the nature of the job u won't know what kind of extra family member will show up at the funeral you wanna be as professional or traditional as you can without looking too much dollar sign involved. Kinda like dignity and respect all mixed together in a politically correct package and vintage is the way to go
I think it's just a trend! Its either the vintage babe or the goth chic like Abby from law and order! People also get into fields they feel reflects their personality or sense of style!!
" a nice aesthetic to mix with the theme of death." what the actual hell is wrong with you??
ZilloCars I plan on being a mortician, i am a female, and don't dress vintage lol.
Ikr
what a lovely girl ! everything about her is so adorable. god bless her soul we need more people like her on this earth
Her: “Sometimes I talk to them, so far no one has talked back”
*Me: they talk back I’m out*
Meme Rose 🌹 😂😂😂
I'd be death if they happen to 🥴
😂😂
Coz dead couldn’t talk anymore
What really happens we when die? Eclesiastes 9:5,6,10 For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing at all, nor do they have any more reward, because all memory of them is forgotten. 6 Also, their love and their hate and their jealousy have already perished, and they no longer have any share in what is done under the sun.10 Whatever your hand finds to do, do with all your might, for there is no work nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom in the Grave, where you are going.
Why do we die? Genesis 2:9,16,17 Adam and Eve eats the forbidden fruits.cause them to die.Romans 5:12..what is the hope for our dead loved ones? www.jw.org/en/library/books/bible-study/there-will-be-a-resurrection/ if you to know more please donwload our apps.jw library apps for free or visit our official website jw.org
I feel like Netflix could make a killer series out of this
They have one called Buried with the Barnards
Watch "the autopsy of jane doe" its fucken crazy very underrated film
The afterlife
Six Feet Under was the best show but that was on HBO years ago.
You ain’t lying
Nobody has said anything about her amazing style! Love the 1950's vibe she has got going on!
14kruitben yeah! Not everyone can pull it off imho
Yes, she looks beautiful
14kruitben her glasses are gorgeous
14kruitben sameee
I was reading the comment section just to find a comment about her style. She's gorgeous
Seems like she cares about a person's loved one more than some of the people who are actually related. She definitely has a beautiful soul. 💜💜💜💜
The way she walks,touch's things and acts she like a female villan in a movie. There is something about her for sure edit..... ( 13/10/2020)thanks for the 693 likes guys appreciate

Everything about this just seemed like a Netflix series already
sadly the closest thing I've seen is a show called "The Casketeers" and that's no where close to a decent series, its hella boring
A show called a hunting of hill house
Ryder lol I tried watching it but I felt like it’s more about his family rather than what they do.
They should make it one just on being a Mortician
I really loved to watch this lady. What I do appreciate the most is her attitude while doing her job: her look is really awesome, she enjoys her own look, she is really committed, humble and nice. These is really rare to find not only in morticians but people in general.
Lost my father on March 28th. He was 97 years old. He looked like he was sleeping. They did a good job. He was wearing a Italian Suit. RIP Francesco Licata. You are with Mommy now. God Bless.
Linda Licata r.i.p to your dad! he lived a long life.
i hope he's in peace
😢 rip
Rip i hope
He lived a nice long life, and the fine italian suit tells me your dad was a very classy man! RIP Mr. Licata.
"I might even talk to them sometimes"
"They haven't talked back yet"

This looks like a scary movie waiting to be released..
Jovencita Bella it feels creepy!
Right! Like American horror story episode.😬
watch the autopsy of jane doe on netflix!
I would totally watch that movie tho
Jovencita Bella so I’m gonna guess you haven’t seen the autopsy of Jane doe-

So you’re a weak man?
"They haven't talk back yet"

Waiting for them to talk back? 😯

@@vergodagoat same 😂
People are saying she’s weird but I disagree...she just has a job not typical to most that she’s passionate about🤷🏾♀️
I don't think she is weird, I just think she is annoying. She is shallow and thinks because she dresses like a 50s housewife turned goth it makes her special.
thaliasghost You sound miserable but okay.
Don't psychoanalyze strangers. It's allowed to have a critical mind and opinions. You thinking somebody has to be miserable when they do means that you probably are incapable of critical thought. See what I did there. Her work revolves around death. That's the least place where you should be into outward appearance. We all leave the world the way we came. Naked. I don't want somebody who gets her self esteem from her clothes and make up to deal with my dead body, simple. She's not weird at all.
Right It don’t even matter as long as she getting that shmoney 😂
thaliasghost you said "She's shallow and thinks bc she dresses like a 50s housewife she's special" then turned around and said "don't psychoanalize strangers" practice what you preach!
I love her fashion on & off the job. She is a trailblazer and a true gift to the family's she serves. Bless up!!
Crazy, I paused this video to talk to my boyfriend about my mother who passed away, then when I played the video again the white and pink casket came up and it’s the same one I picked out for my mother.
Hannah Darden I’m sorry for your loss
That's so nice, kind of like she was sending you a special hello.
Hannah Darden it’s a hello from mom. I’m sorry for your loss. 🌸
Hannah Darden, I'm sorry to hear of your Mother's passing!
stay strong babe
I retired from the funeral industry after 28 years and young lady you spoke well and defined it well. It really takes compassion to work in this job. I had an old funeral director tell me one time to understand the family's position. He said they are in a building they don't want to be in and buying something they don't want and when they are done they have nothing to show and they are doing this while grieving. If you understand that, you will be fine.
The one thing I don't understand about all of this, is the caskets. I always seen caskets with full lids, not this half lid stuff. Whare in the heck did that come from, and when did that get started?
People donate their body to science all the time. Its sad but its thier choice or will before they die
Are you offended by her comment at 2:20 about it being a men driven industry and that having women in it is lightening the load for grieving families?
To me that is an offensive statement and she should clarify the reasoning as to why women are better than men.
@@g.k.1669 Offensive? Nothing she said crossed the line, and she never said women were better than men. Why not at least consider her perspective? Even if you disagree with her, life is a lot easier when you approach people with an open mind.
@@sugarsore That is your opinion. Without much innuendo she basically stated that women were superior in the task for some non descript reason.
From that point her perspective is completely flawed.
“They haven’t talked back *YET* “
Wait they will dont run
Use the ouiji board?
Classic_Rock Richards_ I love your profile picture
*HOLD UP*
Am I the only one that thinks this is interesting and exciting? 😂
I worked in a mortuary, this brings back memories. Most people will benefit from being exposed to end of life matters. We are so alienated from death in our modern culture.
This is exactly why i want to be a Funeral director and mortician. She speaks everything that I want to stand for.
Tiara Ricks “a career once dominated by men” what’s wrong with that? Sorry. But I’m genuinely curious, and since you want to be one I’m guessing you would know?
Tiara Ricks I hope you accomplish that
Gross
I've always found it fascinating. I'm sure you'd be a great addition to the field. 😊
@ T.W What is sooo “ gross” about being a mortician? It’s a great profession for people who can handle it.
I thought this was so freaky . But after hearing her talk and watching her . My mindset is changed
She's like a breath of fresh air...with superb dress sense! I love her!
I wouldn’t want your job. But. Some body’s got to do it. Do you ever get nightmares. ? You couldn’t pay me enough.
She looks and dresses like García from Criminal Minds but is like Abby from NCIS
Omg
SiStEr SHoOkEtH we Stan queens
SiStEr SHoOkEtH I was thinking the same thing
Yessss
SiStEr SHoOkEtH yessss! I was thinking the same thing!
Honestly she could be part of the Adam's family 🖤💀
I could see her as a cool aunt character
She’s so delicate & her voice is so sweet
@Help Usall tigjnb
A family friend recently took his life by gunshot. The family wanted to have a viewing and I was COMPLETELY against this, doing everything I could to explain that this is the last image in their minds they will have of him and it will not be pretty.
They went ahead with the viewing and I could NOT believe how well the funeral home was able to make him look just fine. There was a small scar across one portion of his head, but that was it. They went into complete detail filling the missing bone and areas of his skull, adding fake hair that matched his, and making him completely presentable.
In the end, I was very happy the family went ahead with the viewing. They received the closure they needed and I am at awe at the work these morticians do.
I saw a similar case like this of Ronnie Mcnutt. Hope everyone is doing well in the family, it must be hard for everyone right now.
RIP to your family friend and also, may his family be okay☮️☮️☮️
I guess if that gunshot would've been from shotgun, filling missing bones unfurtunetly would be much, much more problematic. Anyway...from my perspectice it matters how person lived his life, not how pretty he is in a coffin on a funeral.
@@igorsmart8078 my grandpa just killed himself with a shotgun yesterday. Not sure how they are going to fix that...
Your community is extremely fortunate to have someone with your temperament , aptitude and compassion to assist them in their time of loss. Hope others in the industry can emulate you and recognize that that they need to be pillars of support during a family’s difficult grieving period. It’s a job that few of us can do .
This ladies’ outlook on the process is extremely admirable. She remains super respectful in handling the bodies and I thoroughly enjoyed seeing how this process is done. ✅
you do realize they drain the blood out of the corpse first right?-
Bongo Man yes, I do.
A little bit of American Horror Story vibes
Dd Rr omg yes!
Very. Not in a bad way though.
i was thinking the exact same thing lmao
I was think that
Omg I started cringing when she started talking about her experience with deaths
0:58 Her coffee tumbler says "Embalming Fluid". I dig that.
Same 🤣
I thought I was the only who noticed that🤣
fucking iconic, i need one
It should really say “Emcalming fluid”
It's disrespectful
Jfc
its crazy how we're afraid of the dead but its the living that cause the most harm and damage
She’s like those old 70’s horror movies or a house wife
🤣🤣🤣 I agree
@Sandra Kenny was that supposed to be a roast?
@Sandra Kenny bruh what
No she looks like a 50’s house wife lol
More like 40s-60s
If someone is seeing this comment in 2100: hi, im probably dead!
Yup
RIP
Y tho
RIP
Rip
I love how her travel mug says "embalming fluid" on it lmao
Sarah Grafford ikr😁
Almost as cute as my Sourpuss Formaldehyde mug ;)
Sarah Grafford i didn’t even notice this before and when I went back I just bust out laughing 😂
Corrie Nicole i almost missed it too lol, they really didn't focus on it for too long. I had to back it up to fully see it & did the same as you. Laughed like crazy when i realized it was a travel coffee cup.
Shes drinking poison then if it wad
I like the part where she assumes all women are better than men at her job but then she dresses from a time period when women couldn't even vote. Lmao
Um women could vote then. Lol. Do you even know history? Women got the vote in the 20s, not the 60s
I’ve always had the biggest anxiety over death. If I think about my own death long enough I’ll spiral into a panic. Idk why I’m watching this.
Me too!
Same
Y’all we gotta quit watching shit like this then 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Same. Has me fucked upppp
i feel the same way
this was edited so strangely
The most humble creepiest saddest thing I ever watched.
alraune 666 I know but it’s creepy lol, nobody wants to die or see someone dead.
It's not creepy to see funeral director to work on death bodies in funeral home. Some people rather deal with the dead then living
I don't really think its creepy, I think its nice that they are doing this
I dont think its creepy at all. We’ll all be the ones they’ll be embalming and putting make up on someday. It’s comforting to see what happens to my body after i expire
Hi
I considered being a funeral director.... the closer I got to actually doing it the less I wanted it as a vocation.... This woman has my deepest respect as she is very professional in her approach and presentation.... Thank You Amanda.... Your awesome....
I was creeped out until the end when she said she'd be there to comfort your loved one. Then I realized she really views these bodies as the souls they were when they lived and cares for them until they are finally put to rest. That's really sweet and caring
Michaela DeLong same

“Cosmetics for the deceased aren’t like the ones you find in stores.” I totally saw L’Oréal Voluminous Original lol.
krisisnkaos then she said she wants Mac ruby woo on her when she passes ...
She means the face makeup that goes directly on the skin not eyelashes
krisisnkaos yeah
I am a funeral director and we use regular cosmetics some times and they work just fine. Some times they work even better...just saying..
krisisnkaos PAHAHHA
*don’t ask WHY your here.*
*The real question is why you stayed.*
Because I want a life
XxLilTeenGamerXx Love you’re*
Idk😭
I stayed to find out why I’m here so my reason kind of contradicts itself
Why not
Do you have to be dress like from the 50s to work in this industry because I swear most of them do 😂
I admire her. The viewing of my sister was a nightmare, not all funeral homes have compassion morticians.
I’m so sorry :( what happened?
@@theresat1776 They made me wait 4 days for a viewing when they did absolutely nothing to her she had a protruding forehead blood everywhere still in a body bag partly unzipped with her toe tag thrown beside her head. The funeral home actually got a pretty big fine.
@@thing2204 oh my god thats awful, you should've sued them and gotten that money
@@thing2204 my god that's terrible
@@theresat1776 I was so traumatized by it I didn't think about it. But I did put up all the proof on companions funeral home Cleveland TN reviews so if it happens again the next person can sue. I edit it every week so it stays at the top With all the complaints they have i don't know how they are open. The state really needs to stop funeral directors and embalmers sitting on the board and protecting their friends. The FTC did more than the board. The board gave them a 250.00 fine and ftc gave them a 50k fine. I still have nightmares and still to this day smell my sisters rotting flesh and still in counseling and my sister died in 2019. This same funeral home has committed criminal act it's even in the newspaper but they have never faced criminal charges.
I’m actually in college to do the same. Nobody ever gives me positive reaction when I tell them. I believe the industry is peaceful and you need to be a caring and understanding person to work in a business like this. I’m glad this video was made and this is a great career that a lot of women should look into. Thank you for this!
Billie Keir what classes are you taking I’m interested in being a mortician
I think that it's amazing that you are choosing this profession. It seems to me that women would be the natural choice to work in this industry. Good luck in school!
Not to justify people’s reactions, but ...
We are still progressing as a nation, and some might think that a career as such is *Taboo*.
Personally death is fascinating. People should stop being scared of the inevitable.
LorenzoDIYz I agree. in order to understand life, you have to understand death.
just curious, in your classes do you learn about the actual burial process and such or more about the body? was wondering if they touch on environmental impact of traditional funerals and your opinion
This woman must be very hard to scare she probably finds horror movies funny.. Also she looks like she came straight out of a Mad Men episode :)
Nightwing'sbutt ikr
Pensé lo mismo...
Ikr
Most people find horror movies funny.
Anthony Agba no they don’t
Mad respect for ur job 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽👍🏽
