- God brought us to it and only He could bring us through it. He was our strength and He is still what keeps me going as a funeral director.
Here are the logistics behind losing my niece and how I managed to make it through those days and the hard times since. I didn't want to address the spiritual aspect in the video as much as the basics and what I learned as a funeral director. However, Faith is what truly kept us all together, strong, and moving forward.

Hi Kari . My son drowned in April 1998 . Every year since , his friends still gather to remember him at his place of rest . 😎🕊🌿
This video is a year old already, but I’d never seen it before. My wife and I watched this together, and I will say, unashamedly, we both had tears well up in our eyes. I’m glad to know that this cold cruel world hasn’t hardened me to the point I couldn’t cry over the death of a child. I think it was incredibly brave to share. This woman is not afraid of sharing vulnerable moments. She’s a pioneer in sharing these thoughts, and of allowing the rest of us to understand the dynamics of a loved one’s death often involves confusion, exhaustion, anger, et al.
It’s ironic that a Funeral Director is one of the most uplifting of the vloggers on RUclips. I appreciate the genuineness. We’re all in this world together, let’s try and learn from others’ experiences. Let’s face it, the emotional aspects of a death are what most people are perplexed by. It helps us to know we’ll question: Why do I feel like this? When will iit stop?
And the biggest question of all (the biggie): Why did God forsake this little girl? He didn’t. Allowing free-will for his flock means these things will happen. I insist there is a lesson in everything. Maybe not to cause any one of us to suffer, but to enlighten a world that no longer understands subtlety or understatement. Meaning: We’re thick-headed sometimes. Let’s face it, we all feel alone in our own personal dark moments. Stay supportive.
Thank you so much for the support!
Oh Kari! Thank you for sharing the ENTIRE story with us. I had many questions about the situation, but would never ask. You and your family carried this process out perfectly, you DID this beautifully for Kelly. Yes, i know you drew the strength to make everything perfect. I also know when it is over and everything settles down, sooooo many emotions hit you. God bless you and your family always. ❤ (thank you also for sharing pictures of your precious Kelly, such a beautiful child). 😢❤
My son was killed in a car crash in 2010.Our local funeral home was so loving and kind .And it helps the family so much because we know they understand the heartbreak.As I saw Brian for the first time I was crying and I bent over to kiss his forehead.I looked up and our funeral director was wiping his tears away as well.Thank you for doing God's work with compassion.God Bless ❤
I’m so sorry for the loss of your darling niece. I didn’t see my son after he died. I have always wondered if that was a good or bad thing. By the time I could have seen him it was the day after he passed from cancer. I wasn’t at the hospital when he passed because I was sick with bronchitis. I was fearful of touching him when I knew his body would feel cold. I was afraid I would be haunted forever by how he looked in death. I wish someone could have helped me decide if it was better to see him or just remember him alive. The grief for the next 5 years almost killed me. Watching this video brought a lot of memories and I cried for your loss and my own. Thank you for helping people deal with loss. Our culture doesn’t seem to have a healthy understanding of living with loss.
God bless you Kathy Estes! I am so sorry for the loss of your son.
I'm so sorry about your niece. I cannot imagine the pain your family has experienced. I'm thinking the faith your family has is what has given you all the strength to endure.
Oh my god I cried.Im so very sorry.
This is the most heartfelt, emotional, and powerful video I have ever seen on RUclips. Thank you for opening your heart and sharing this. You did things for your niece that I don't think most families would ever think to do or know that they are allowed to do. I love that you took her to the Grandparents' house. And that you asked people to leave the gravesite to allow you all to have those final moments with your precious niece. I cannot imagine the emotional toll this took on you, but it was done with love for your niece, sister, parents, and family members. I am sure this has made you more compassionate in your position. I haven't read the other comments, so I hope I haven't repeated anything. I think this video, and the one you did with the Mom who lost her baby, should be mandatory viewing for people in school for this line of work. (Too emotional to remember what it is called.). God bless you Kari.
Just seems creepy to me. If a family member dies, PLEASE entrust the job to a trusted colleague, IMHO. Do you want flashbacks the rest of your life from working with the corpse?
@@attygarland6909 Your lack of experience with death is evident. I was a palliative care nurse, and there was no question I would care for my own father. I was good at what I did, and trusted in my skills. I had the support of my most trusted colleague (my work partner). Those last weeks were precious, and we had been told by the oncologist "with a good response to treatment, (he) had another 5 years". Unfortunately, he didn't even get into treatment. In that time, my father and I shared precious moments and conversations that I will always treasure, all the while protecting the rest of the family from the worst. Your response is truly that of the ignorant.
I can tell you - I have replayed the death date of my loved ones every year.
I'm so happy to hear your family celebrated her life instead of only grieving. You gave her the best funeral she could have and it's so nice to hear how her interest were heavily incorporated. It must've been comforting for your family knowing you were one of the people taking care of her. Bless you for being such a strong person even when it's okay to not be. This video definitely needs a tissue warning
Kari so honored to listen to this. Your perspective on being the funeral director to you family and niece was touching. God bless you.
This breaks my heart 😢 I'm in bed with my 3 children rite now as they sleep . I cannot imagine the pain your sister and your whole family had to go threw I am so so extremely sorry 😢. RIP little angel 😇
I just found your channel. When I was 6, my older sister died at the age of 8 during what what to have been the final open heart surgery to fix a congenital defect. Even though it has been more than 40 years, I can remember those days as though it was last week. The funeral service took place in Oklahoma and her burial was in Texas, so there was two funeral homes involved, but my great-uncle was the one who was the mortician "in-charge" (he was a mortician in Texas). I remember my little sister (age 3) and me shoveling the dirt on her casket (my parents chose not to have a vault as one is not required at that cemetery) and staying until all the dirt was put back. In my family, this is what we do at all funerals (my great-uncle has since died, but my great-aunt's grandson went into the business and now owns two funeral homes and does all the family funerals). Thank you for sharing your perspective and experience. I will definitely have to talk to my cousin and find out how he deals with having to do our family funerals and how it affects him.
One thing that helped with the mood at my husband's funeral was to do a tribute to his life as a professional singer. I had them put a microphone in his hands , set his albums around the room during the visitation. I recorded him singing , which they played throughout the visitation . My sister (a Florist) made a beautiful spray with musical notes in it. Afterwards , everyone went to a rented hall and ate lunch. (My cousin planned all of this as a surprise for me). They played videos of my husband singing on stage. Later , everyone said that it was as if he was there enjoying the day with us. It was a celebration of his life. ❤
How beautiful, to celebrate Your Husband in such a wonderful way!! That sounded like it was a true celebration of His life . God Bless You .
I understand. My dad embalmed my baby sister and several other close relatives. It’s quite the experience on so many levels. Bless your and your family. 🙏🏻
Thanks for sharing!! You as well!
My Uncle was a funeral director, he was a very quiet man.Somber. Hardest part was having to plan, bury his own daughter, 21 years old. He ended up leaving the profession. Shortly later, he was diagnosed with small cell carcinoma. More than likely from the Formaldehyde, before precautions...one of the greatest things he told me was I was always his favorite....humility...I understood and talked to him as my profession, understanding death.
Ive loved listening to you. I can feel your pain tremendously...I enjoy your videos...
I understand your feelings no matter the years, no matter. Healthy to talk, explain, but emotions show your incredible heart.
As hard as it was for you to prepare your neice, There is no greater honor.
We should be more hands on about death when it happens, I'm so sorry for your loss. This was really deep and made me cry, but a good cry. I'm so glad you got to care for her.
I am so deeply sorry for your loss and also for your sister and family. Thank you for opening up and talking about your feelings and sharing the common feelings of grief we all experence when we have such a loss. It is clear how much you love your niece and I was very moved, and helped by, by you loving and wise words. Thank you --thank you....Your niece has the best Aunt in the world....
Bless you Kari. I can't begin to imagine this situation. Tears running down my face. My little girl will be getting an extra squish tonight xx
The photos at the end of the video show what an amazingly beautiful little girl your niece was. What a heartbreak.
You are so kind
Kari..this video has helped meso much. My dad was very ill...I didn't live in the area where my parents were. I had to say goodbye to my dad when he was in a coma. When he passed there was very bad blood between my mom and me. I saw a therapist about how to deal with his passing. I decided not to go to his funeral as did my eldest sister. We loved our dad beyond measure...and had the same amount of distain for our mom. I grieved for 10 years. It wasn't until your video I realized I had no support surrounding me. So now I know why it was so devastating for me to deal with his death. He has been gone for 33 years...I was 33 at the time. At 66 I realized half of my life has been without him. Think you for making me understand why it took me so long to pull myself together. You are a dear EarthAngel. Thank you
Wonderful!
Hi Kari, Bruce here from New Zealand I'm crying with you. I helped to prep my wife when she passed away last July make up ,dressing and casketing her , I did her service also. I found it very helpful with my grief process God bless Kari and your family love your channel ❤️ 😊😢
Thanks so much!
My heart breaks for you, your family and your dear sister. You’re so strong. I don’t know how you were able to do this.
I made the smallest casket arrangement for him and I cried.
Very sweet
Yes we do remember that date. September 30, 2019 5:29 am my brother passed away from T-Cell Lymphoma that was diagnosed a few months earlier. Thank you for sharing.
Bless you, same here passed 10/26/16. After 6 weeks of diagnosis, was only 18. We lost our baby to the medication given for T cell lymphoma (caused seizure that caused brain bleed). Was yours similar? Hope you’re better.🫂💓🙏🏽
When you were describing driving by places, I have been watching the casketeers on Netflix. It’s a funeral home in New Zealand and the customs they have there and driving a person by their favorite places in life and stopping is very popular there.
I'm so sorry for this heartache. You and your sister took a sad situation and made the best out of it. The way you and she handled it was very tender and loving. I love the way you and she did the things you did, such as driving through the drive-through, letting people write on the casket, etc. I can't even imagine the pain and stress and heartache. This little girl will always be so precious. So, so sorry for this pain and loss.
Thank you!
Hi, Kari. First, I'm so sorry for your family's loss. You are so right; that without forgiving you can't move on. I thank you for taking the courage to share with us your story being that she was a child. My mother was murdered in 1987 and I can assure you that what you and your family went through while it is raw, real, and numb, at times it is so easy to recall. I will never forget asking the lovely female mortician in Los Angeles that was probably a tad bit older than my mother at that time that if my mother didn't look right we wouldn't proceed with an open casket service. While it was the worst experience in my young life at 20, there were many beautiful gestures that at that time in life I didn't truly appreciate. Bless you and your family for sharing your experience. I hope that when I die there is someone as sweet and honest as you to take care of me. Be well.
Thank you
My brother was killed in a car accident. He was ejected through the windshield. He hit face first, into a telephone pole, smashing his face. We had to wait 3 days before we could see him, in the coffin.
The funeral director advised us not see him, because of the condition of his face. But we insisted on seeing him. She put a cloth, over his face, so we couldn't see the damage. She said we could remove, the cloth, but said we should remember him when he was alive. So did not remove it. I'm thankful for that advice.
What a horrific time in your life. You have made it such a learning experience when most would be just shut down or angry. I hope that when I do need a funeral director I am lucky to find one as caring as you are. The way you talk of people in grief is truly amazing. Your niece would be so proud of how you help so many. She was so beautiful. I’m so sorry she was taken so tragically
She is so beautiful. This makes me angry, I wish I could save her from this fate. Thank you for being so honest and open.
Hi Kari- did any of his family attend her funeral or any of the visitations? I think it would be such a blessing to have a funeral director like you in every family- wow!
I also just want to share- I have a 7yr old daughter and this morning I became a little short with her because she was giving attitude and it was a hectic morning getting my kids off to school. I listened to this as I packed lunches and prepared backpacks- this was something I really needed to hear this morning. I need to be reminded every single day that anything could happen at any time to my children. That they are a blessing that is not promised every day. I hugged my daughter tighter than usual as she ran to the playground this morning for school. Thanks for sharing. 💖

My first wife passed 47 years ago and i still walk through those last few days every year
You are not only a Funeral Director, you are an Angel that walks among us. Thank you xo
I'm so very sorry for your loss
Thank you
Your niece was so adorable. I'm so sorry this happened to her and your family. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much!
I can't imagine your grief. I am glad you could help your family and your sister, and Kelly. I think what you did was beautiful. May God grant you all peace.
Thank you
Kari, thanks for sharing your heartfelt story. I'm sure your niece has been watching over you after all these years. I'm sure she appreciates all the special love and care you gave her during her last days with her loving family and friends. You are so right about a grandparent grieving twice. My brother died at 15 while at school. He had a cerebral hemorrhage. I watched my grandparents grieve for my brother and also for my mother. I thank my mother all the time for letting me (I was only 5 1/2, but remember like it was yesterday) and my 6 other brothers and sisters go to the viewing at the funeral home and say goodbye. She said she knew deep in her heart that we all needed closure.
Prayers for you and your family my husband took his own life when I was six months pregnant with our youngest baby girl 🙏💔
I am so sorry for such heartbreak!
She was beautiful!
I love you so much for doing this video. I buried my daughter April 3rd. She was 48. Sunday will be 5 months ago. My twin brother died Sept 1st, voming up also this week. My parents anniv.

Sending love and prayers for thoese anniversaries. God bless you.
BIg hugs to you!!
A very powerful video. Thank you for sharing your grief with us. A very, very Christian act...you're praying and asking for forgiveness for your niece's father. I
can tell it was a very difficult video to make.
You are welcome!
Kari I always say i love your voice it's so calming but thank you for doing this video. I don't know how you handled this. Your super strong. Thank you so much for sharing the real you the tough things you have dealt with. God Bless you and your Family especially her mother.
My own niece was shot when she was 3yrs old in front of me, her brother (he was 5)& her parents. Thankfully she lived, but it was the worst day of my life. She's my girl, my mini me and I couldn't imagine losing her. I am so sorry for your loss, for your whole family. It's beautiful that you're the one who took care of her, but I'm deeply sorry you had to...❤🙏🌻
Oh goodness!
Karen , I know the pain you're feeling. As I too have lost my oldest son in mn.5 yrs ago he went right in front of me. He was 36 at the time he passed. So as a father I can relate thank you for sharing.
It helps a lot.
big hugs
Kari~I don’t know how I haven’t seen this video until now. Your niece was a beautiful young lady, I can see how the world got darker with her loss. It doesn’t surprise me that you sprung into action with her death, it was where you belonged. I don’t know how you did it, I only know you couldn’t have let anyone else touch her. I can see the special connection you two shared.
Grief is funny, it never ends and it changes who you are. You admittedly state you get it now and the anger, fog and questions are normal. With someone so young and at the hand of her father only makes it even harder. I am sorry you and your family went through this and I can’t imagine the heartache your sister has suffered through. Every year on the anniversary of deaths in our family we get together and share tears, laughs and memories. I keep you all in my prayers. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you for sharing
I just watched this 4 years after the publishing, and have nothing but admiration for the strength you displayed in managing this trauma for your family. My heart goes out to you and all your loved ones and all that loved little Kelly along with a prayer for each of you. My work has been on the other side of the coin, yet similar in the field of palliation. It takes a toll so please take care of *you*. You are blessed and a blessing, without question.
Thank you so much for you very kind words.
Thank you Kari for sharing your grief with us. So sorry for the pain your family went thru. God give peace to each member of your family. Receive a big hug from someone that cares about you.
You are welcome
This was heartbreaking to watch. I am so sorry to you and your family. I am so glad that you had the strength to help your family with the funeral arrangements and to do the embalming, that way they know she was in the best hands at the end. I hope it has helped you to grow stronger. I hope your sister is doing as well as can be now. Thank you for sharing your sad story but also beautiful memories of your lovely niece. Xxx
Thank you so much!!
You're a stronger person than me. I'm sorry to hear about your niece. I couldn't even watch this video without getting choked up and tearing.
Thank you for that support!
Kari, you're such a strong woman. So sorry for all you and your family went thru. God bless you.
Thank you
I JUST saw this. Prayer--Forgiveness--it is SO like YOU to ask these two important things for your little nieces father. I listen to my granddaughter who is working at a funeral home helping families plan their loved ones funerals on her way home every night. She is supposed to get off work at 5 o'clock. She never leaves before 9. She wants to make sure all her families are taken care of. THANK YOU for sharing your precious niece with all of us. She was a beautiful child. God Bless your family. LOVE and PRAYERS for all of YOU!!!!
Thank you!
Every time I watch this video, I just want to give you a big hug😢
Big hugs to you Pat!
Kari, so sorry that you had to take care of your beloved niece after her tragic passing.
On the other hand, how beautiful it must've been to be the one taking care of her... because of pure love, you were able to make sure that she had TLC throughout the entire process of getting her ready and handling her funeral. That had to be a blessing to your sister, and the rest of your family.
You are an amazing woman, I don't know if I'd be able to do that for my family member, if in a similar circumstance.
I've been a caretaker to various aunts and uncles, as well as my father as they were in their final days. But to provide the after care, is such a blessing. I'm sure that your niece would agree with that sentiment.
Blessings, Genevieve
I’m so sorry about your niece! I am incredibly close with my niece and just couldn’t imagine anything happening to her. Thank you for making this video. I can not imagine how hard it must have been. My Dad was killed in May of 2017 in a wreck that was caused by someone speeding in a rain storm and ultimately caused a 4 vehicle pile up. My Dad was the only one hurt, and then passed of his injuries lasted that day. I so get it when you say the fog that you went into! There are times that I feel like I’m still in that. I’m still working on coming to terms with everything even though it’s a year later. I hope to one day be able to forgive because I know my Dad would want that, but I’m just not quite there yet. Thank you again for making these videos. They are really helpful and insightful!
My death of my grandma yes the anniversary I remember like it was yesterday. I miss her so much. Part of me died that day when cancer took her away from me.
Oh Kari my heart goes out to you!! I cannot even imagine what you went through. You are so strong! I admire you for what you did for your family and taking care of your niece, she was so beautiful. My heart breaks hearing this story. I have nieces and nephews around the same age, 14 of them in fact and my heart would be so incredibly broken if something like that happened. I admire your strength and love for your family, you are amazing! All my love and prayers for you and your family. Keep those memories of your beautiful niece alive, she deserves it! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much!!
Time doesn't change the hole in our hearts for our missing loved ones and even though I am only just seeing this video, it was so moving, touching and sad. I rarely cry watching RUclips but this poor little girl broke my heart. I can't begin to wrap my mind around how or why someone would want to harm their own child regardless of their mental state. I mean what you do to yourself is up to you, it may not be right but you consent to your actions but how do you push or force this on a baby? I've lost a teenage cousin but her death was a result of a car accident (the by driving took the corner too short and wrecked the Jeep, he was the only survivor my cousin and two of her girlfriends were killed). I realize it isn't the same as it was an accident verses a murder however none the less it's relatable because in my eyes at the age I was when she was killed in the accident she was a kiddo. No one should ever have to go through losing anyone especially a child. Kelly was a cutie pie it's a shame that she was taken from your family. As far as grieving goes I really don't think we ever really get over it, we don't have much of a choice but to accept it because it can't be undone. I'm sorry for you and your family's loss.
As a Florist, working closely with many Funeral Directors, a very wonderful Director was expecting the birth of his first child. Very sadly the Mother was admitted to hospital with a medical emergency and the full term beautiful baby boy did not make it. He did everything, as his job required, and he was so strong!!! I don't ever want to believe that pain can exist, but it does. Full credit to you Kari. You did well under an immense amount of hurt💔
Thank you for sharing
My mom died by suicide and I have done the walking through every moment for years and wondered if it was weird for me to do this. I have someone very close to me and was involved from hearing that “she was gone” via telephone and I kept asking where did she go because I couldn’t hear what this person was telling me, anyway my amazing friend that every year we talk on the phone and replay every moment. My youngest son was born on December 5th which is also the same day of her death and over the course of time his birthday I’ve had years in which I don’t get super emotional but others I’m crying my eyes out so I never know what to expect. Thank you so much to help me validate this process and no longer thinking I’m morose for doing this.
Thank you for sharing this!
I’m sorry for your loss you did amazing it’s a shame how selfish people can be
thank you
This video came up on my youtube today and I watched it again.. It's been a while since I've seen any of your videos. Again I want to say my heart still hurts for you and your family over the loss of your niece. In the time since Christmas of 2022, I have lost 15 friends and family members. This is the worst year of my life when it comes to losses. My mom's family is huge, so funerals are a frequent occurrence, but 15 in just over a year is insane. About half of them were younger than me, so that makes me feel old. The youngest was 24, which was heartbreaking. The cause of death for one of them is something that I've had in the past and survived probably because I had access to the right health care that she didn't have. For her, it's almost a case of survivor's guilt. I'm so impressed by your heart for people and how you wear your heart on your sleeve. I feel like I've been getting a Master's Class on grief.
I am struggling with all of this loss, but my faith in God has sustained me through it. I wouldn't have survived if I didn't have it. I know I don't have the mentality to do what you do. It's your calling as being a caretaker is mine. I just wanted to say hey and touch base with you once again. Please take care of you and yours.
Thank you. More about her loss coming soon.
@@KaritheMortician Looking forward to it. You have an amazing heart. It shows up in every video you upload.
Oh my gosh Kari. I’m so sorry for your loss. I can not imagine this level of pain for you and your family. Praying for you all 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thank you so much beautiful friend!
I’m an uncle of seven, four girls and three boys. I could never be as strong as you are ❤️
Until we are in it we don’t know the strength we have
My god you are a strong woman. I mean I know it’s a little bit of control and escapism and redirection to be able to step into the professional role but I know I know your family had to be so relieved to have you being there in the role you were.
What you do is amazing. Thank you.
I know this is nowhere near the same but with my pets I lost in the last two years (one each February) the waiting period between leaving them with the memorial/crematorium and picking up their little boxes was so hard. But just having their remains back with me - not as they were, not at all, but it was all that remains of them here - it calmed me a lot more than I’d have thought it could in that moment.
thank you
Thank you for sharing this ... incredible to share this story
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience!! You are an inspiration!! ❤
I’m so very sorry for you and you’re families loss. ❤️🙏

Thank you so much Kari for sharing your story xo
I am so sorry for your loss, thank you so much for making this video
Thank you for sharing your experience with us!
I know a women that lost her daughter to a murder/suicide from the daughters father as well. Very tragic and terrible, I'm sad to hear of someone going through a very similar situation. I hope you and your family are doing well, I'm glad you were able to forgive, such a powerful thing :)
In Minnesota, the father took his and his daughters life by driving into the back of a semi truck, he was a sick man but still very tragic :(
Wow, thank you for sharing this incredible experience! Im so sorry your family had to experience this!
Omg I am so sorry Kari. Your such a strong person. There’s nothing that I could possibly say that I could take away your pain. There’s no time stamp on grief. And Anniversary’s are painful and they show up at the strangest times.loss is what makes us human. God Bless you and your family.
Thank you for sharing such a painful time for you and your family. ***HUGS***

I Love how well you took care of her in her Death it shows how well she was taken care of and Loved in her Life!!! Bless your Family and i will continue to pray for you all!!!
So sorry about your niece kari she was beautiful must be so hard to forgive. My brother was murdered almost 29 yrs ago I'm a Christian but can't forgive the person who did it
I am so sorry for the loss of your brother :-( It is not easy , but as a Christian, we are called to forgive others. Consider, that the lack of forgiveness has affected your life for the last 29 years .... Here is a Bible verse for you to consider Matthew 6:14-15 (NKJV) "For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 "But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Thank you
Oh Kari, my heart goes out to you and your family. Thank you for being able to tell your story. Since 1980 my family still mourns our nephew Bills cold case in Ohio, he was 14. Family is so important, we know fog!
Kari Northey ..Bill Comeans RUclips. and Twitter.
I just look up information on your nephew's case and my heart goes out to you and your family it must have been such a difficult time. I hope that you and your family get the answers you are long overdue for!❤
Such a heartbreaking story, I can’t imagine living it. Thank you for sharing Kari, I have really enjoyed hearing about every aspect of your career, and congratulations on 100 videos!
Thank you for sharing your story. Means a lot.

My condolences to you and your family. I'm so sorry this has happened to you all. Much love from us here in Louisiana.
Oh dear God...I am so sorry for the pain your family went through! Prayers for you and her family!
