We are so very sorry to hear you have just lost your son 😞 sending you our deepest condolences to you and your family 🌹 please take good care of yourself ❤️❤️
I lost my Grandfather in September. That guy gave me many of my “firsts” in life. I would always sleepover every weekend at my Grandparent’s. I felt like I was his child also. We always went out, always went on adventures. Everyday I wake up shocked that no matter what, he’s not coming back.
I have watched the cremation process in videos before. My 20 year old daughter passed away in 2016. Direct cremation was all I could afford to do. I watched videos to research how it was done while waiting for her cremains to be ready for pick up. I don't know why, but this video made me cry. This video was very thoughtfully and respectfully made. I suppose it made me rehash those emotions from those years ago. I appreciate this channel, and the wealth of information.
So very sorry to hear 😞 how sad losing your daughter so very young. We both send you our deepest condolences 🌹🌹 Hope you are doing well 🙏 take good care 💚💚
This body is just like a car, and the driver has already switched vehicles to start another beautiful journey, full of new experiences and joy.This old, beat-up car needs to be recycled and mixed with other materials of this world. It does not matter how you go back to the elements. Please know that, Soul is neither born nor dies, neither is created or can be destroyed. Our soul is a part of the creator, and we hold a piece of the almighty within us, and when we switch the vehicles, we follow the natural order of things and go back to the creator. Grief is the immense love you were yet to give to your loved ones.
My mom went with God yesterday. A body is just a shell for the soul to walk on earth. My mom is in heaven in a huge garden populated by all flowers and mangos, peaches, and butterflies. I will order a necklace for some of her ashes in it wherever I go. My mom is home but will never be forgotten.
Oh no we are so very sorry to hear such sad news of the loss of your mom 😔 please accept our deepest condolences to you and your family 🙏 🌹🌹 that's so precious to be able to carry her forever in a necklace 💚 please be kind to yourself and take very good care 💚💚
We are so very sorry to hear such sad news 😞 please accept our deepest condolences to you and your family 🙏🌹 please look after yourself and seek help if you ever need it throughout you grieving journey 😞 sending you our best take very good care 💚💚
My paternal grandparents, my youngest paternal uncle, my stepfather and the love of my life were all cremated. My father will be when his time comes hopefully not for some time.
My father passed earlier this week, he unfortunately took his own life. He gets cremated today, I'm going to keep some of his ashes while the rest is buried with my grandparents and uncle. Love you, old man. Thank you for all the great memories and laughs, I hope you're still so proud of me. Rest in peace.
My mum passed away 3 weeks ago and I miss her so much, gone too soon but with her ashes I will keep them with me in a ring and necklace for the rest of my life, love you mum hope heaven is as nice as they say!
2 things I took away from this: 1) When raking out the remains, it looks like you're going to end up with a little dust from the person cremated before. 2) Speaking of dust, if I worked there I'd be inclined to wear a dust mask. Inhaling dust from human remains is not at the top of my list of must dos.
Hi Dave, thank you for your comments. Tim does wear full PPE when operating the cremator. While we were filming Tim was not working the machine another employee was doing the job, he was only stepping in during the filming and didn't wear a mask so he could talk to us during the filming and it was cut for editing. Thank you for your concern but Tim was very aware of his exposure and we spent limited time in that area. Take care 😊💚
There's going to be about nine pounds of cremated ash when it's over. My brother and younger sister are both in my closet in cremated form. My older sister said she wanted them buried with her, and I intend to honor her request.
Presenter with utmost respect. My sister, who passed some years ago, chose to be direct flame cremated way ahead of time. No fuss, no bother just simple and straight forward with no complications. I have decided to follow in her footsteps, all preplanned and prepaid.
My dad passed away this August we had him cremated and just received his ashes back today. Thank you TCU and UT for All that you do. Miss daddy but he's home with US tonight love you 😘
My loving husband just pass away May 11th 2023 😭😭😭💔💔 And made me watch this 🥺. Home is never be a home with out you 😢 it so quiet. Me and girls miss you and love you so much, I know you always here with us. You will be forever in our hearts baby I love you ❤❤
Ohh no we are so truly very sorry to hear you have just lost your husband 😞 please accept our deepest condolences to you and your family 🌹🌹 words are never enough 💔 Hope you have support around you and your girls 🙏 please take good care and be kind to yourself 💚💚
My mother passed away February 29, 2024. I was sad that she had to be cremated, but this video made it easier to see there's still peace. So thank you for this video being respectfully made. It helped me find the peace I've been searching for!
My mother passed away in February 2, 2022 from COVID. She was cremated at one of the local funeral homes. What's even more heart-wrenching is that I will have to go through with this again when my father eventually leaves this world. May those above give me strength when that day comes.
So very sorry to hear you have lost your mother 😔 we both send you our deepest condolences 🌹 Be kind to yourself and seek help and support if you need it during your difficult times 🙏💚
My mom passed away June 30th 2023 it hurt a lot. I lost her at 15. I only have 15 years if memory with her and it was the best 15 years of my life and the only... she's in a better place now. Ima see her this Friday for the funeral and she's getting cremated. She was only 35. My mom was gon to soon. She sacrificed everything for me and my 2 siblings
Oh we are so very sorry to hear such sad news of your mom 😞 we both send you our deepest condolences 🌹🌹 Please take care of yourself and lean on your family and friends for support of needed on Friday 🙏 take good care 💚💚
Oh honey, I lost my mom right around the same time as you lost yours. I'm so sorry for your loss and your pain. I know how it feels, it's been almost 4 months and I still cry every day and I miss her so much that it hurts. I know you're going through the same, so I'm sending my prayers for healing, and just know that you're not alone, even though it really feels like it sometimes.❤
We are both so very sorry to hear this very sad news of your dad 😔 sending you and your family our deepest condolences 🌹🌹 no words can ever help the pain you are feeling and will do for a long time. It's so sad when we lose any of our parents. Please be kind to yourself and seek help if you need it from professional counselor. Take good care 💚💚
I know how you feel. My daddy passed away In August and he died of glioblastoma and Pancreatic cancer. I took care of him until the last breath. It was the most hardest thing I've ever had to do in my life. But glad I was there for Daddy. Just received his ashes today and I feel like he's come home from a long trip. Miss him so much 😢
I lost my dearest Mom 2 weeks ago. I know she’s in a better place with no more pain. I still don’t know how I feel and scared to confront my emotions. This video gave me some comfort, thank you.
I come from a family of carers. We all have different roles, Nursing, Disability care, Palliative care, and Foster Care. I also am a foster carer with a career in entertainment yet felt I needed more. There is something about the ability to bring dignity to the end-of-life process and help those in their time of grief that drew me to my next path in life. I applied for a position at a funeral home yesterday and was asked to join the team today. I started watching your videos yesterday (I have 2 years of catching up to do!) and I respect the way you normalize the end-of-life process, it really is beautiful. Dispelling fear with respect, dignity, and care is inspirational. I thank you both for your time and dedication to these insights, it’s not a position many people tend to gravitate to, what you are doing makes it comfortable.
Hi Jo, what an amazing job history you have and it's no wonder the funeral industry Snapped you up. You are the exact caring, dedicated person the this kind of work needs. You must keep us updated on how your journey goes in your new role. Any questions you may have don't hesitate to ask 😊 Thank you so much for your kind words 🙏 yes we have a few videos out now ☺️ Thanks for telling your story take good care & good luck 🌹💚💚
My dog passed away a month ago, she was diagnosed with spleen cancer apparently she had it going on for a long time she kept rolling around and we thought it was her being fun but we should've known earlier. She got cremated I didn't want to see her get cremated but thank you for the video, it's so emotional to see it. Thank you again.
My son passed away in 2019. He was48 yrs old. He was cremated. He didn’t have any life ins. The family including myself wasn’t present when the cremation to place. I wouldn’t want to be present anyway. Watching this video was sad. The pain never goes away, but The Lords strength helps through it. We decided to put his remains in the ocean.?We were present for that It was a beautiful day on the water. I mean it was breathtaking. We were able to see his remains put into the ocean with flowers. I always wondered how cremations was done. Now I know. May the Lord give everyone peace that have chosen this way to put their loved ones away.❤
My grandfather passed away two years ago tomorrow (8/13/21) and was cremated, which i did not know was what he wanted until after, and i had no idea what the process was like, despite having my cat cremated in 2020. Thank you for the information. Oddly, it helped me get a bit of closure
Body is just a vessel The soul is eternal And it makes perfect sense that one cannot die and cease to exist but to transform into another life form just like energy we exist forever Don't be scared of death It's part of life Just like growing up We enjoy it Appreciate life and get ready for your next after life
The body is a vessel but it important one u will be raised on the day of judgment with ur body that's why cremation wrong total disrespect to the body and deceased person
My dad took his life on April 19, 2019, and I miss him very much. He is with the Lord, watching over our family. He could’ve lived longer. I still feel the pain after 5 years. He was cremated and he will live in our hearts forever.
My nan was cremated today. I’m so glad I got to spend the time I did with her. I’d give anything to be the kind of grandparent she was to me. Rest easy Nan ❤️
My father passed away in 2008. I remember the trauma I had experienced as a 16 year old young man. It was one of the hardest things Ive had to experience. Fast track to now, 32 years old, Ive learned very intimiately that this is the natural workings of the universe and that he was supposed to go before me. I look back at all the accomplishments Ive made, all the growing pains, and all the experiences Ive had to endure to become a man puts it into hindsight how much I have healed, I smile when I look back at this experience and tell my youngself how proud I am of him. I think what also healed and sealed the last chapter of my grieving process is when I had a son myself, the shift in perspectives have totally shot me up to the sky. There is unlimited happiness available for you, trust me. Give your soul time and it will all be better ✨️
i lost my nan back in 2018, we were so close, still remember when i used to visit her house and watch animal tv programs together, and just share so many laughs (she had the best laugh ever) unfortunately she wasnt very well, when it was found out it was too late, passed from sepsis :( then in 2019 my grandad passed away and we dont know the cause but my grandad was such a caring and funny gentleman :( both were cremated. still struggle with the loss of both till this day. i love you nan and grandad forever and always and one day we shall meet again ❤❤
We are so very sorry to hear of your losses 😞 sending you our deepest condolences 🌹🌹 be kind to yourself too, it's a tough journey to travel. Take good care 💚💚
My girlfriend Monica passed two and half weeks ago from Cancer, she was 60 years old, She was cremated because it cost less then a full burial. I know Monica is in Heaven, she was a ferm believer in Jesus. RIP Beauitful. I will always love you. Pottstown, PA.
My Mom is going to be cremated tomorrow morning. I wanted to be by her side one last time as she is cremated, but travel is complicated for me (she is across the country). I needed to understand the process so that as I take quiet time while she is being cremated I know what is happening. Why do I need to know? I'm heartbroken and it honestly wasn't comforting (not that I expected it to be). It was sensitive of you that you didn't show the box going into the incinerator, so thank you for that. My heart and mind are silently screaming their grief, knowing what my Mom was is going to be reduced to tomorrow. Thank you for the video, though. Having thought about it, I think I needed to see it to push one step further toward acceptance. And you're a part of that. ❤
We are both so very sorry 😔 to hear such sad news and send you our deepest condolences 🌹🌹 It's such a difficult process to go through, our own personal grieve journey and it's different for us all. We have no words to make it any easier but wish we did 😞 the pain is so unbelievable some days it's hard to focus. Believe me when we say the journey is unique to you but the pain will ease. We have both lost our mums and very suddenly for me (Tracy here) it's just shit and sorry for that word but it's true, it is hard but seek out help from friends and family if needed and always try and be kind to yourself 🙏 we will be thinking of you tomorrow sending you our best, please take good care 💚💚
My twin sister went with the Angels last week on Wednesday. I went in to see her after she had died in hospital, and she looked so peaceful. I'm just glad she went in peace. I love you Tracey, RIP.
I’m 23 my dad just passed at 42 and we had his open casket viewing yesterday and now he’s being sent to be cremated. He passed from his long battle of addiction. He was clean for a year and out of nowhere he relapsed and passed on the scene. I’m heartbroken and wish I would have been there instead of being mad that he wasn’t there during those couple years of addiction
My Chihuahua Romeo died Sep 13 2023 he was 16 yrs, he had (kidney disease, full blind, dementia and arthritis) We had to put him to sleep, hes been cremated and we will get him back in about 7 weeks. I miss him so much. I know I'll see him again in heaven. Thanks for the video. ❤❤
Oh no we are so very sorry to hear such sad news 😔 he is so very young. We both send you our deepest condolences 🙏 Take good care and always be kind to yourself 💚💚
Many years ago I was at our local crem laying some flowers and upon going back to the car saw someone coming out the back door, I asked if I could be shown around and it was no problem the days services had finished but I even got to see a cremation taking place, very interesting 👍
Hi Paul, you were lucky to get to see that by just asking. It just shows you that they is nothing to hide behind the scenes of a funeral home and crematorium. Some of our crematoriums have open days so you can go behind the scenes but not usually to see a cremation taken place. Thank you for sharing, take care 💚💚
imagine the mental strengh itd take to do this job i could never do it so props to the people that do yall are the reason my uncle got to rest in the place he love
I lost my 35 year old son in a fatal car accident in 2020. Because of covid we were unable to have a viewing. I chose to have my son cremated. When I die my children can decide where they want to place mine and my sons ashes (together). My daughter wants to place us in an hour glass so that we may still be at the table on family game nights. I will never regret having my son cremated. To any parent who has lost a child.. I know your pain. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
We are so very sorry to hear you losing your son in such away 😔 sending you our deepest condolences 🌹🌹 We think that's such a beautiful thing to do together in an hourglass for all the family to see 💞🙏 Please take good care all the best 💚💚
My mom recently passed away from cancer 😢& she was cremated . it was her wish , Fly high to all the beautiful mommas that were here on earth taking care of us & our watching us now from heaven . 🕊️🤍✨
My grandmother passed away last monday and as it hurts i find comfort in watching this knowing her wishes were for my mom and her siblings to cremate her. Although i wasnt a fan i knew i had to watch a video to understand the process. So now that i do im at peace while my grandmother rests in peace.
I didn't realize until just this moment how videos like this help so many people going through the grieving process. I was going to say something to the effect of "so this is how my body's going?". One look in this comments section though and you realize this is more than just an educational video. It's a place to find comfort and to grieve. Some commenters are going through recent losses. I've been there, so I understand the emotions. Wow. You learn something new everyday in this life. I don't really know what else to say. I'm overwhelmed at some of these posts. Real tearjerkers.
My Father was just cremated. He is reunited with his loved ones, and will live on forever in our hearts. You made us all proud. I am forever grateful. ❤
My husband and I discussed cremation prior to his death. My only regret is I don't know why he died and due to the money they wanted, I couldn't afford to know why and how my husband died! I will always love you 😢❤
My dad passed away on the 20th of may 2024 and he got cremated. Its so hard to think I'll never talk to him until my time comes. He was only 65 years old. His birthday is on the 27th of june. Miss you dad so much. I love you with all my heart ❤️
Hi Alisa, we are both so sorry for the loss of your grandmother 😔💔 sending you lots of love and hugs. Hope you have lots of support around from your family and friends 🙏💚💚
My father was cremated here in the UK. I hadn't seen him for the last nine years of his life. If someone keeps kicking you in the teeth, eventually you give up and walk away with however many teeth you have left. I haven't seen my mother in nearly thirty years, because she was even worse! The old man was different, he made no excuses for his behaviour, and he had something else inside, but try as I did, he wouldn't let it out, so, as I say, the last insult was very wounding, and I walked away. He never came looking. That says it all. If he had cared, he would have made an effort to try and say sorry, but he didn't try and patch it up, because he didn't give a toss. He developed dementia. He got old, then he got older, then he became frail and sick and died.I didn't need to be told. Bizarre and unlikely as it sounds, I knew he was dead. I awoke the day after he, I later found out, had died, and said out loud 'My Dad is dead!' He had gone the morning before at just after one in the am. I had a dream where I saw him, and he died in front of me. I know that sounds very peculiar, and were it told to me by an anonymous source on the pages of a website where any lunatic can claim any amount of oddness, I too would think the author to be deranged. But it is true. I had a dream where I found him in a room in a derelict cottage. The other people I encountered in the dream ran away, covering their faces and telling me that I had to go away as 'YOUR'E NOT MEANT TO BE HERE YET!' Then I encountered the fat bugger and watched as he shrunk, turned grey, slumped in a chair with his black pit of a mouth wide open and expired after pointing an accusatory finger at me and growling through a toothless slobbering mouth. I was asked to attend the funeral. I was also asked to fork out half the costs, because he'd died penniless. His parents were decent people, so, for them, I stumped up the money, acted as a bearer on the day, (he was an old frail short cadaver, but he was really heavy) and sat on one nearly deserted side of the crematorium, while the other half shook under the collected ululations of his 'new' family. I hardly knew any of them. In fact, one of them walked up to me outside and asked, with a suspicious look on his young, rat-like face 'Alright, mate? Did you know D**** very well, or something?' I replied that I knew him extremely well, as he was my biological father. 'Will that do?' I asked. He apologetically walked away, a little shrunken and embarrassed. Throughout the service, as the celebrant gave a truncated and unlikely account of 'this very special man's' life, a photo of him, grinning drunkenly and with a crimson, bloated, alcoholic's leer looked over at me from the top of the coffin. 'I bet you're laughing your ball's of, you b*stard', I thought, as his cronies shrieked, blubbered and wailed, before shambling out into the miserly September sunshine, snot-streaked and bleary eyed. The worst part of the day was the secret child he had fathered in the year before getting mixed up with my mother was there too. She would not sit with me. It was the first, last, and only time I ever met her, but felt that, strange time as it was, she could have made more of an effort. Still, it was her choice, so what do you do? She didn't look at me throughout the entire experience. Outside, she told me that she didn't really want to know, but might be interested if this or that were to happen. She came over a bit selfish and stuck up. She also really looked like him too. Be a good parent. Please don't f*ck it up. X
My mom and my brother were both cremated. They are with me always in beautiful cremation wooden boxes. By mom's has her gardening gloves on it, my brother's has a motorcyle on it. Beautiful pieces of artwork. Much cheaper than a burial, no upkeep needed, and it was at their request. When it's my time to go, I have it specified in my will to also be cremated. We had memorial services for both. Feel really bad that my dad chose burial instead. It's simply gross to me to think about being buried.
I just retired from the funeral business here in Florida in the USA. I was a crematory operator for ten years and performed an average of 1500 cremations per year. Your cremulator is very interesting. I have never seen that style before. For the 32,000-pound, Class VI Retort-style Human Cinerator Unit, I had a flat steel rake made for removing the larger pieces of bone first, then the steel brush, and then the high temperature vacuum for the rest, and all the cremains were placed on a cooling tray, which was located above a drum-style cremulator with spinning blades for processing. I also used a hand-held magnet for any ferrous metal removal, and also a pair of tongs for any non-ferrous metal. Pacemakers, artificial limbs and electronic medical devices are removed before cremation. Shoes are removed as well due to rubber soles releasing toxins when burned. Excellent video presentation.
My lovely brother passed away on 9 August 2023 from Troat Cancer. His funeral was on 4 Sept 2023. So it's very raw for me at the moment. I hope the pain I feel will get better, but I feel galf of me has gone. I'm am truly and utterly heartbroken. Until we meet again love you so much bro ❤
Here goes. I rarely comment but I have to admit I trully appreciate how dignified this process is, at least in the U.S. I had seen a cremation in another country that was truly traumatizing. It was horrifying to think that this takes place with everyone. It was like a literal nightmare seeing. But watching this video truly brought me reassurance as I had to step in to began this process for my dad's best friend of 70 years whose family could not or would not do this for him. Thanks for the video.
My dad was put in cremation yesterday. Going through the grieving process and its getting harder to cope with my dad not being here. Barely eat or sleep. I don’t like this pain I feel.
So very sorry to hear you have just lost your dad 😞 sending you our deepest condolences 🌹🌹 please be kind to yourself and seek help and support if needed 💚💚
My dad passed away last month and was cremated. In the words of my mother, he went to heaven already days before he passed, he is happy and his body is just a shell for his soul to walk in
And here i am in Tenerife. Grandad was cremated yesterday. Wished him a safe journey to wherever he was going. but wherever he is. My nan was there waiting
Hey girlie I’m currently in school to become a mortician and I recently heard that many people working with formaldehyde end up with health issues and that the risks of getting cancer is quite high. Im very passionate about the funeral industry but hearing this made me slightly hesitant. I was curious to know if this is something Tracy thinks about in her career and if there are ways to safely navigate formaldehyde or if there will always be health risks involved? Love y’all xoxo
Hi Isabella, I think this will be a great question to answer on video. There is a very very small risk but to keep that risk very low your need to follow OHS (occupational health and safety). Thank you for your question will answer over the coming weeks. Take good care 😊💚💚
Hey I’m currently in school as well, love your profile pic and yea I enjoy the funeral home business helping families. Very fitting card choice by the way.
I’m dying! I have 4 months left. It’s A very emotional journey for me and my husband and family! I’m in hospice. Seeing this made me cry, because my husband and family are devastated! Thank you for sharing! 💜
My older sister was recently found deceased in my home by me autopsy said she passed in her sleep the night i left home for a weekend getaway and coming home and finding her was a shock last thing i told her was to lay off my coffee while im gone and she laughed and said bite me like the smartass she was crazy to think she wasnt much older than i am currently my family chose cremation and i never gave it much thought on the process til ironically youtube recommended this to me on the home page she may be gone but her memories will live on
Oh no we are very sorry to hear this sad story 😞 please accept our deepest condolences to you and your family 🌹 hope you are doing ok, take good care of yourself 💚💚
We lost my older brother a week ago to suicide. You never know how much you truly need someone in your life until you lose them, and know you can't see or talk to them anymore. Fly high Justin 💔🕊️
This was certainly hard to watch because I lost my dad in August and I’m about to lose my mom. I guess it’s just life. No one can live forever. And I would much rather have ashes than having them lay a box under ground.
Oh Laura we are so very sorry to hear this very sad news 😔 please accept our deepest condolences to you and your family 🌹 and we hope your mum is doing ok 🙏 take good care 💚
So I assume a body is first embalmed, right?? To get rid of the body fluids. Amazing to see the worker show care and respect and to also see how little is left after the procedure. Thank you...
Hi, no you don't need to embalm to be cremated. In fact here in Australia we don't embalm most of the deceased we care for. Embalming is done if family request, a person is going home for a few days, going into an above ground vaults, repatriated to another country or cultural reasons. Thank you for your comments take care 😊💚
I know this isnt as drastic as a parent or child dying, as some other comments have said, but my dog died 10 days ago. He was a beautiful all white alaskan husky with one blue eye and one brown and always a big ol goofy smile on his face. We got his ashes back today and its been a very emotional day for me. He was such a pain in the neck with how he was always jumping over the fence and running around the neighborhood or chilling in the neighbors yard, but i loved him to bits. May god rest your soul Fabian, i miss you so much and love your forever 🤍
My mom passed just last month Aug 31 2023 an I had her cremated I have her ashes an I can't let her go she will be with me till I pass an then both are ashes can be mixed an put in a beautiful place.....I love u momma rest easy ❤
I just received my mom's ashes back three days ago and accidentally opened the urn and saw her cremains [it has a photo frame and i could not figure out for the life of me how to insert the photo i had picked out for her, joke was on me because it was actually a slot you pull out on the bottom oops] and I was really glad that I'd already watched this video. I'm so glad [and sad] to have her home finally, I was getting more and more upset thinking about her sitting in a freezer for a month. I just watched this video again and I appreciate it a lot. Thank you, ladies.
Hi Elizabeth, sending you big hugs 🤗 we hope you are doing ok 🙏 special to have your mum back home 🌹 Oops glad you worked out the photo frame 😉 Take care 💚💚
@@Areyoudyingtoknow I'm doing okay! Just really sad and guilty still over how things progressed. I still feel like it's my fault because I gave her covid. But I'm so glad to have her home where she belongs. I hope you two are doing well too! Haha yeah, she's stuffed pretty tightly into that urn and she almost fell out [thank goodness for the bag] and I literally screamed 'SORRY MOM SORRY!' whilst pushing her back into the box LOL. Oops! Big hugs to you both as well
Oh no don't ever feel guilty, mum would not want you to live like that. Please do worry about that lovely mum is with you always even if you did nearly drop her on the floor 😉 we are both well thanks you for asking You look after yourself sending hugs 💚💚
This is just scary to think of, you’re just suddenly dead and suddenly within an hour or so, all of your body is gone except for your bones. In my opinion, cremations may be cheap and good for the environment but I’d rather do burials, like seriously I don’t want to be turned into ashes with my skin, hair,skull, and eyes all melted and vaporised and gone! Without a trace.
Also I forgot to mention that there has been reports of lots of people even been cremated alive! While if buried alive, you ring the bell and you can get out.
Hello ladies. Over here in Northern Ireland, traditional coffin burial is by far the most popular method of 'corpse disposal', sadly though, I feel it's not for me. My late Dad and Mum, who's 83 years old have/will opt for burial in our local cemetery. I have plumped for cremation, with my remains to be interred in the family plot. I don't know WHY but burial just freaks my mind.....BURN ME! 🥰🥰🤗👍👍👍
My mom was cremated. This made me cry. I miss and love you so much mom. 😢
So very sorry to hear you have lost your mom😔 sending you our deepest condolences 🌹
Our mom's are a huge loss. Look after yourself 💚💚
@@Areyoudyingtoknow Thank you. The video was interesting actually. I call it the circle of life. You're born, you live your life and you die.
So very true 💚
me 3 days ago on 20 march 2024 i miss here so much and love her to
Same here I know the feeling
My son passed away May 3rd 2023. He was 3 weeks shy of turning 18. I love you Issac can’t wait to see you again my son.

"The hour is coming when all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice" Yes, you will see him again.

For those who lost their loved ones I pray you find healing and comfort whatever belief you are.

Thank you..I'm still struggling

tysm i just lost one
I lost my Grandfather in September. That guy gave me many of my “firsts” in life. I would always sleepover every weekend at my Grandparent’s. I felt like I was his child also. We always went out, always went on adventures. Everyday I wake up shocked that no matter what, he’s not coming back.
I have watched the cremation process in videos before. My 20 year old daughter passed away in 2016. Direct cremation was all I could afford to do. I watched videos to research how it was done while waiting for her cremains to be ready for pick up. I don't know why, but this video made me cry. This video was very thoughtfully and respectfully made. I suppose it made me rehash those emotions from those years ago. I appreciate this channel, and the wealth of information.
So very sorry to hear 😞 how sad losing your daughter so very young. We both send you our deepest condolences 🌹🌹
Hope you are doing well 🙏 take good care 💚💚
This body is just like a car, and the driver has already switched vehicles to start another beautiful journey, full of new experiences and joy.This old, beat-up car needs to be recycled and mixed with other materials of this world. It does not matter how you go back to the elements. Please know that, Soul is neither born nor dies, neither is created or can be destroyed. Our soul is a part of the creator, and we hold a piece of the almighty within us, and when we switch the vehicles, we follow the natural order of things and go back to the creator. Grief is the immense love you were yet to give to your loved ones.
So sorry I couldn't imagine loosing my child
Sorry for your loss
I'm so sorry 😢
My mom went with God yesterday. A body is just a shell for the soul to walk on earth. My mom is in heaven in a huge garden populated by all flowers and mangos, peaches, and butterflies. I will order a necklace for some of her ashes in it wherever I go. My mom is home but will never be forgotten.
Oh no we are so very sorry to hear such sad news of the loss of your mom 😔 please accept our deepest condolences to you and your family 🙏 🌹🌹 that's so precious to be able to carry her forever in a necklace 💚 please be kind to yourself and take very good care 💚💚
@@Areyoudyingtoknow It's been a rough few days but I'm getting to the "take care of yourself" part. I miss her so much. And thank you. 😊
Yes it's is a tough road to travel 🥺 look after yourself 💚💚
Prayers to u bro I’m going thru some tough things w/my moms health as we speak it’s heartbreaking 💔
Oh no sorry to hear this 😞 we send you our best and hope your mum is doing ok 💚💚
My dad got cremated yesterday, may he rest in peace, love you dad, hope we all did you proud, hardest thing I've ever had to go through.♥️♥️x
We are so very sorry to hear such sad news 😞 please accept our deepest condolences to you and your family 🙏🌹 please look after yourself and seek help if you ever need it throughout you grieving journey 😞 sending you our best take very good care 💚💚
My paternal grandparents, my youngest paternal uncle, my stepfather and the love of my life were all cremated. My father will be when his time comes hopefully not for some time.
Godspeed to your pop! Just to say that here - as a Dad - I just know - he would be so proud of his family and you! Best wishes to ALL of you.❤
It’s alright man my dad got cremated and that was the hardest thing I ever experienced
My husband is gone. All I have left are ashes.
My father passed earlier this week, he unfortunately took his own life. He gets cremated today, I'm going to keep some of his ashes while the rest is buried with my grandparents and uncle. Love you, old man. Thank you for all the great memories and laughs, I hope you're still so proud of me. Rest in peace.
Oh no we are so very sorry to hear 😔 sending you our deepest condolences 🌹 please take good care and look after yourself 🙏💚💚
@@Areyoudyingtoknow Thank you very much, that means a lot to me.

My mum passed away 3 weeks ago and I miss her so much, gone too soon but with her ashes I will keep them with me in a ring and necklace for the rest of my life, love you mum hope heaven is as nice as they say!
So very sorry to hear of your loss 😔 sending you our deepest condolences 🌹🌹
Look after yourself ❤️❤️
2 things I took away from this: 1) When raking out the remains, it looks like you're going to end up with a little dust from the person cremated before. 2) Speaking of dust, if I worked there I'd be inclined to wear a dust mask. Inhaling dust from human remains is not at the top of my list of must dos.
Hi Dave, thank you for your comments. Tim does wear full PPE when operating the cremator. While we were filming Tim was not working the machine another employee was doing the job, he was only stepping in during the filming and didn't wear a mask so he could talk to us during the filming and it was cut for editing. Thank you for your concern but Tim was very aware of his exposure and we spent limited time in that area. Take care 😊💚
👍
@@Areyoudyingtoknow k
There will be a curse on my bone dust...
There's going to be about nine pounds of cremated ash when it's over. My brother and younger sister are both in my closet in cremated form. My older sister said she wanted them buried with her, and I intend to honor her request.
Presenter with utmost respect. My sister, who passed some years ago, chose to be direct flame cremated way ahead of time. No fuss, no bother just simple and straight forward with no complications. I have decided to follow in her footsteps, all preplanned and prepaid.
What is direct flame never knew this excited! ?
Such a gift to your family to preplan & prepay. They will be able to grieve your loss and not have as many decisions to make when you pass.
My dad passed away this August we had him cremated and just received his ashes back today. Thank you TCU and UT for All that you do. Miss daddy but he's home with US tonight love you 😘
So sorry to hear 😔 sending you our deepest condolences 🌹🌹❤️❤️
My dad died in August too and he is ganna turn into ashes 😭
My loving husband just pass away May 11th 2023 😭😭😭💔💔 And made me watch this 🥺. Home is never be a home with out you 😢 it so quiet. Me and girls miss you and love you so much, I know you always here with us. You will be forever in our hearts baby I love you ❤❤
Ohh no we are so truly very sorry to hear you have just lost your husband 😞 please accept our deepest condolences to you and your family 🌹🌹 words are never enough 💔
Hope you have support around you and your girls 🙏 please take good care and be kind to yourself 💚💚
I'm so sorry. I've been married 47 years and only fighting the fight of my life for him. Other wise I'd just do palliative care.
My mother passed away February 29, 2024. I was sad that she had to be cremated, but this video made it easier to see there's still peace. So thank you for this video being respectfully made. It helped me find the peace I've been searching for!
So very sorry to hear 😞 sending you our deepest condolences ❤️❤️
My mother passed away in February 2, 2022 from COVID. She was cremated at one of the local funeral homes. What's even more heart-wrenching is that I will have to go through with this again when my father eventually leaves this world. May those above give me strength when that day comes.
So very sorry to hear you have lost your mother 😔 we both send you our deepest condolences 🌹
Be kind to yourself and seek help and support if you need it during your difficult times 🙏💚
Sorry to say but it wasn't Convid

I lost my mom at 16
So so sorry yes to young to lose your mom.Im so sorry.hugs
Rest in paradise to your mother sweetheart. I pray that you and your siblings are safe and at peace.

Oh honey, I lost my mom right around the same time as you lost yours. I'm so sorry for your loss and your pain. I know how it feels, it's been almost 4 months and I still cry every day and I miss her so much that it hurts. I know you're going through the same, so I'm sending my prayers for healing, and just know that you're not alone, even though it really feels like it sometimes.❤
I wish you strength, she is your angel. Be strong and make her proud
My mom died September of last year it still hurts and doesnt feel real hope youre doing well
So very sorry to hear 😞 sending you our deepest condolences ❤️❤️
My dad died exactly 1 month and 1 day today... he was cremated and to be placed with his parents... still hurts like day 1...
We are both so very sorry to hear this very sad news of your dad 😔 sending you and your family our deepest condolences 🌹🌹 no words can ever help the pain you are feeling and will do for a long time. It's so sad when we lose any of our parents. Please be kind to yourself and seek help if you need it from professional counselor. Take good care 💚💚
I know how you feel. My daddy passed away In August and he died of glioblastoma and Pancreatic cancer. I took care of him until the last breath. It was the most hardest thing I've ever had to do in my life. But glad I was there for Daddy. Just received his ashes today and I feel like he's come home from a long trip. Miss him so much 😢
I lost my dearest Mom 2 weeks ago. I know she’s in a better place with no more pain. I still don’t know how I feel and scared to confront my emotions. This video gave me some comfort, thank you.
We are so sorry for your loss and hope you are finding your way through the grief xx
I come from a family of carers. We all have different roles, Nursing, Disability care, Palliative care, and Foster Care. I also am a foster carer with a career in entertainment yet felt I needed more. There is something about the ability to bring dignity to the end-of-life process and help those in their time of grief that drew me to my next path in life. I applied for a position at a funeral home yesterday and was asked to join the team today. I started watching your videos yesterday (I have 2 years of catching up to do!) and I respect the way you normalize the end-of-life process, it really is beautiful. Dispelling fear with respect, dignity, and care is inspirational. I thank you both for your time and dedication to these insights, it’s not a position many people tend to gravitate to, what you are doing makes it comfortable.
Hi Jo, what an amazing job history you have and it's no wonder the funeral industry Snapped you up. You are the exact caring, dedicated person the this kind of work needs. You must keep us updated on how your journey goes in your new role. Any questions you may have don't hesitate to ask 😊
Thank you so much for your kind words 🙏 yes we have a few videos out now ☺️
Thanks for telling your story take good care & good luck 🌹💚💚
My dog passed away a month ago, she was diagnosed with spleen cancer apparently she had it going on for a long time she kept rolling around and we thought it was her being fun but we should've known earlier. She got cremated I didn't want to see her get cremated but thank you for the video, it's so emotional to see it. Thank you again.
So very sorry to hear 😞 sending you our best wishes and big hugs, take good care 💚💚
My son passed away in 2019. He was48 yrs old. He was cremated. He didn’t have any life ins. The family including myself wasn’t present when the cremation to place. I wouldn’t want to be present anyway. Watching this video was sad. The pain never goes away, but The Lords strength helps through it. We decided to put his remains in the ocean.?We were present for that It was a beautiful day on the water. I mean it was breathtaking. We were able to see his remains put into the ocean with flowers. I always wondered how cremations was done. Now I know. May the Lord give everyone peace that have chosen this way to put their loved ones away.❤

So sorry 😔💚💚
My grandfather passed away two years ago tomorrow (8/13/21) and was cremated, which i did not know was what he wanted until after, and i had no idea what the process was like, despite having my cat cremated in 2020. Thank you for the information. Oddly, it helped me get a bit of closure
So sorry to hear you have lost your grandfather 😔 sending you our best 🙏 take good care 💚💚
My mother was cremated several years ago. Thank you for showing how this is done and the care you take in possessing the remains.
Body is just a vessel
The soul is eternal
And it makes perfect sense that one cannot die and cease to exist but to transform into another life form just like energy we exist forever
Don't be scared of death
It's part of life
Just like growing up
We enjoy it
Appreciate life and get ready for your next after life
Thank you for that. I agree the body is a vessel carrying us through our journey of life 🙏 take care 😊💚💚
The body is a vessel but it important one u will be raised on the day of judgment with ur body that's why cremation wrong total disrespect to the body and deceased person
Sad,,my fath
There is no eternal life. Only a twisted reflection of earthly life awaits.
Easier said than done. Still a loss
My dad took his life on April 19, 2019, and I miss him very much. He is with the Lord, watching over our family. He could’ve lived longer. I still feel the pain after 5 years. He was cremated and he will live in our hearts forever.
So very sorry to hear 😔 sending you our deepest condolences 🌹 take good care of yourself ❤️❤️
My nan was cremated today. I’m so glad I got to spend the time I did with her. I’d give anything to be the kind of grandparent she was to me. Rest easy Nan ❤️
So very sorry to hear this 😞 we both send you our deepest condolences to you and your family 🌹🌹❤️
My dad left like a month ago and this song reminds me of him of all the memories❤😢
So very sorry to hear 😔 sending our very best to you ❤️
This is so sad but I believe it is better knowing the family can keep the loved one in the home. God bless all to whoever had to go through this! ❤
Thank you so much ❤️❤️
My father passed away in 2008. I remember the trauma I had experienced as a 16 year old young man. It was one of the hardest things Ive had to experience. Fast track to now, 32 years old, Ive learned very intimiately that this is the natural workings of the universe and that he was supposed to go before me. I look back at all the accomplishments Ive made, all the growing pains, and all the experiences Ive had to endure to become a man puts it into hindsight how much I have healed, I smile when I look back at this experience and tell my youngself how proud I am of him. I think what also healed and sealed the last chapter of my grieving process is when I had a son myself, the shift in perspectives have totally shot me up to the sky. There is unlimited happiness available for you, trust me. Give your soul time and it will all be better ✨️
Hi, sorry to hear you lost your dad so young 🌱
And thank you for sharing your wise words 😊 Take good care 💚
i lost my nan back in 2018, we were so close, still remember when i used to visit her house and watch animal tv programs together, and just share so many laughs (she had the best laugh ever) unfortunately she wasnt very well, when it was found out it was too late, passed from sepsis :(
then in 2019 my grandad passed away and we dont know the cause but my grandad was such a caring and funny gentleman :( both were cremated. still struggle with the loss of both till this day. i love you nan and grandad forever and always and one day we shall meet again ❤❤
We are so very sorry to hear of your losses 😞 sending you our deepest condolences 🌹🌹 be kind to yourself too, it's a tough journey to travel. Take good care 💚💚
My girlfriend Monica passed two and half weeks ago from Cancer, she was 60 years old, She was cremated because it cost less then a full burial. I know Monica is in Heaven, she was a ferm believer in Jesus.
RIP Beauitful. I will always love you.
Pottstown, PA.
So very sorry to hear 😔 sending you our deepest condolences ❤️❤️
My Mom is going to be cremated tomorrow morning. I wanted to be by her side one last time as she is cremated, but travel is complicated for me (she is across the country).
I needed to understand the process so that as I take quiet time while she is being cremated I know what is happening.
Why do I need to know? I'm heartbroken and it honestly wasn't comforting (not that I expected it to be).
It was sensitive of you that you didn't show the box going into the incinerator, so thank you for that.
My heart and mind are silently screaming their grief, knowing what my Mom was is going to be reduced to tomorrow.
Thank you for the video, though. Having thought about it, I think I needed to see it to push one step further toward acceptance. And you're a part of that.
❤
We are both so very sorry 😔 to hear such sad news and send you our deepest condolences 🌹🌹
It's such a difficult process to go through, our own personal grieve journey and it's different for us all. We have no words to make it any easier but wish we did 😞 the pain is so unbelievable some days it's hard to focus. Believe me when we say the journey is unique to you but the pain will ease. We have both lost our mums and very suddenly for me (Tracy here) it's just shit and sorry for that word but it's true, it is hard but seek out help from friends and family if needed and always try and be kind to yourself 🙏 we will be thinking of you tomorrow sending you our best, please take good care 💚💚
My twin sister went with the Angels last week on Wednesday. I went in to see her after she had died in hospital, and she looked so peaceful. I'm just glad she went in peace. I love you Tracey, RIP.
I’m 23 my dad just passed at 42 and we had his open casket viewing yesterday and now he’s being sent to be cremated. He passed from his long battle of addiction. He was clean for a year and out of nowhere he relapsed and passed on the scene. I’m heartbroken and wish I would have been there instead of being mad that he wasn’t there during those couple years of addiction
So very sorry to hear 😔 sending you our deepest condolences ❤️❤️
My Chihuahua Romeo died Sep 13 2023 he was 16 yrs, he had (kidney disease, full blind, dementia and arthritis) We had to put him to sleep, hes been cremated and we will get him back in about 7 weeks. I miss him so much. I know I'll see him again in heaven. Thanks for the video. ❤❤

Many years ago I was at our local crem laying some flowers and upon going back to the car saw someone coming out the back door, I asked if I could be shown around and it was no problem the days services had finished but I even got to see a cremation taking place, very interesting 👍
Hi Paul, you were lucky to get to see that by just asking. It just shows you that they is nothing to hide behind the scenes of a funeral home and crematorium. Some of our crematoriums have open days so you can go behind the scenes but not usually to see a cremation taken place. Thank you for sharing, take care 💚💚
imagine the mental strengh itd take to do this job i could never do it so props to the people that do yall are the reason my uncle got to rest in the place he love
It's not for everyone. ❤️
I lost my 35 year old son in a fatal car accident in 2020. Because of covid we were unable to have a viewing. I chose to have my son cremated. When I die my children can decide where they want to place mine and my sons ashes (together). My daughter wants to place us in an hour glass so that we may still be at the table on family game nights.
I will never regret having my son cremated.
To any parent who has lost a child.. I know your pain. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
We are so very sorry to hear you losing your son in such away 😔 sending you our deepest condolences 🌹🌹
We think that's such a beautiful thing to do together in an hourglass for all the family to see 💞🙏
Please take good care all the best 💚💚

My grandmother passed away last monday and as it hurts i find comfort in watching this knowing her wishes were for my mom and her siblings to cremate her. Although i wasnt a fan i knew i had to watch a video to understand the process. So now that i do im at peace while my grandmother rests in peace.
So very sorry to hear 😔 we both send you our deepest condolences 🌹🌹
You take good care of yourself ❤️❤️
I didn't realize until just this moment how videos like this help so many people going through the grieving process. I was going to say something to the effect of "so this is how my body's going?". One look in this comments section though and you realize this is more than just an educational video. It's a place to find comfort and to grieve. Some commenters are going through recent losses. I've been there, so I understand the emotions. Wow. You learn something new everyday in this life. I don't really know what else to say. I'm overwhelmed at some of these posts. Real tearjerkers.
Thank you so much for your comments and kind words 💜🩷
R.I.P for everyone who's already go to heaven before us..

My Father was just cremated. He is reunited with his loved ones, and will live on forever in our hearts. You made us all proud. I am forever grateful. ❤

Thank you so much Natalie 💚💚
I agree. My grandmother is getting cremated this Monday and I didn’t know what to expect. You see other videos which make the process so scary 😢
My husband and I discussed cremation prior to his death. My only regret is I don't know why he died and due to the money they wanted, I couldn't afford to know why and how my husband died! I will always love you 😢❤

It's always so hard when we lose our parents 😔 sending you our best wishes take good care 💚💚
My father was cremated here in the UK. I hadn't seen him for the last nine years of his life. If someone keeps kicking you in the teeth, eventually you give up and walk away with however many teeth you have left. I haven't seen my mother in nearly thirty years, because she was even worse!
The old man was different, he made no excuses for his behaviour, and he had something else inside, but try as I did, he wouldn't let it out, so, as I say, the last insult was very wounding, and I walked away. He never came looking. That says it all. If he had cared, he would have made an effort to try and say sorry, but he didn't try and patch it up, because he didn't give a toss.
He developed dementia. He got old, then he got older, then he became frail and sick and died.I didn't need to be told. Bizarre and unlikely as it sounds, I knew he was dead. I awoke the day after he, I later found out, had died, and said out loud 'My Dad is dead!' He had gone the morning before at just after one in the am. I had a dream where I saw him, and he died in front of me.
I know that sounds very peculiar, and were it told to me by an anonymous source on the pages of a website where any lunatic can claim any amount of oddness, I too would think the author to be deranged. But it is true. I had a dream where I found him in a room in a derelict cottage. The other people I encountered in the dream ran away, covering their faces and telling me that I had to go away as 'YOUR'E NOT MEANT TO BE HERE YET!'
Then I encountered the fat bugger and watched as he shrunk, turned grey, slumped in a chair with his black pit of a mouth wide open and expired after pointing an accusatory finger at me and growling through a toothless slobbering mouth.
I was asked to attend the funeral. I was also asked to fork out half the costs, because he'd died penniless. His parents were decent people, so, for them, I stumped up the money, acted as a bearer on the day, (he was an old frail short cadaver, but he was really heavy) and sat on one nearly deserted side of the crematorium, while the other half shook under the collected ululations of his 'new' family. I hardly knew any of them. In fact, one of them walked up to me outside and asked, with a suspicious look on his young, rat-like face 'Alright, mate? Did you know D**** very well, or something?' I replied that I knew him extremely well, as he was my biological father. 'Will that do?' I asked. He apologetically walked away, a little shrunken and embarrassed. Throughout the service, as the celebrant gave a truncated and unlikely account of 'this very special man's' life, a photo of him, grinning drunkenly and with a crimson, bloated, alcoholic's leer looked over at me from the top of the coffin. 'I bet you're laughing your ball's of, you b*stard', I thought, as his cronies shrieked, blubbered and wailed, before shambling out into the miserly September sunshine, snot-streaked and bleary eyed.
The worst part of the day was the secret child he had fathered in the year before getting mixed up with my mother was there too. She would not sit with me. It was the first, last, and only time I ever met her, but felt that, strange time as it was, she could have made more of an effort. Still, it was her choice, so what do you do? She didn't look at me throughout the entire experience. Outside, she told me that she didn't really want to know, but might be interested if this or that were to happen. She came over a bit selfish and stuck up. She also really looked like him too.
Be a good parent. Please don't f*ck it up. X
I lost my grandma a year ago since 15th February 2023 may Allah grant her to jannah, Amin ❤😢
So very sorry to hear 😔❤️❤️
My friend was cremated yesterday.
You have been my friend. That in itself is a tremendous thing. RIP Apol
Sorry for your loss 😔❤️❤️
My mom and my brother were both cremated. They are with me always in beautiful cremation wooden boxes. By mom's has her gardening gloves on it, my brother's has a motorcyle on it. Beautiful pieces of artwork. Much cheaper than a burial, no upkeep needed, and it was at their request. When it's my time to go, I have it specified in my will to also be cremated. We had memorial services for both. Feel really bad that my dad chose burial instead. It's simply gross to me to think about being buried.
Sounds like beautiful urns your family are in very personal 🤗💚💚
My son passed yesterday I give prayers out for you all who lost there love ones
So very sorry to hear 😔 sending you our deepest condolences 🌹 please take good care ❤️❤️
@@Areyoudyingtoknow thanks Amen
I want to be cremated when I pass on. I can’t bear the thought of my body gradually rotting six feet underground.
Hi, thank you for your comments take care 😊💚
I don't know what's worse cremation or buried
Some people like being thrown into the sea!😮
I just retired from the funeral business here in Florida in the USA. I was a crematory operator for ten years and performed an average of 1500 cremations per year. Your cremulator is very interesting. I have never seen that style before. For the 32,000-pound, Class VI Retort-style Human Cinerator Unit, I had a flat steel rake made for removing the larger pieces of bone first, then the steel brush, and then the high temperature vacuum for the rest, and all the cremains were placed on a cooling tray, which was located above a drum-style cremulator with spinning blades for processing. I also used a hand-held magnet for any ferrous metal removal, and also a pair of tongs for any non-ferrous metal. Pacemakers, artificial limbs and electronic medical devices are removed before cremation. Shoes are removed as well due to rubber soles releasing toxins when burned. Excellent video presentation.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us and your kind words 🤗💜❤️
I have seen the cardboard box called an air tray, the crematory unit a retort.
This video was done in a very respectful way to the deceased.

My lovely brother passed away on 9 August 2023 from Troat Cancer. His funeral was on 4 Sept 2023. So it's very raw for me at the moment. I hope the pain I feel will get better, but I feel galf of me has gone. I'm am truly and utterly heartbroken. Until we meet again love you so much bro ❤
Hi Sharon, we are so very sorry to hear 😞 sending you our deepest condolences to you and your family 🌹🌹
Please take good care 💚💚
My dad died in 2018 we buried him about 18 feet close to the house the traditional way. May his soul RIP
🤗💚💚
As always, very tastefully explained. I am still on board with cremation after watching. Thank you ladies for educating us. ❤
Yes we are going to be cremated too. Not yet we hope 🤪😂💚💚
@@Areyoudyingtoknow I don’t like the sound of being cremated
Here goes. I rarely comment but I have to admit I trully appreciate how dignified this process is, at least in the U.S. I had seen a cremation in another country that was truly traumatizing. It was horrifying to think that this takes place with everyone. It was like a literal nightmare seeing. But watching this video truly brought me reassurance as I had to step in to began this process for my dad's best friend of 70 years whose family could not or would not do this for him. Thanks for the video.
Thank you for your comments 🤗 and glad we could he you in this situation take good care ❤️❤️
Thank you so much for educating us so that I will not scared. 😢
Thank you for your kind comments take care and glad we help a little 😘💚💚
Thank you girls that made life easier for my daughter summer from aberdeen scotland. Love you all.xx
Hi Richard, no problem we are happy we can help 🙏❤️❤️
My dad was put in cremation yesterday. Going through the grieving process and its getting harder to cope with my dad not being here. Barely eat or sleep. I don’t like this pain I feel.
So very sorry to hear you have just lost your dad 😞 sending you our deepest condolences 🌹🌹 please be kind to yourself and seek help and support if needed 💚💚
My dad passed away last month and was cremated. In the words of my mother, he went to heaven already days before he passed, he is happy and his body is just a shell for his soul to walk in
So very true. Sending you our deepest condolences ❤️❤️
Yep, my dad was cremated many years ago but the crematorium was more than 60 years old, and it took almost 5 hours to cremate his 125 pound body.
💚💚
My grandma died a few days ago and I’m really sad because I’m not even 18 but for me she’s always with me ❤
So very sorry to hear 😔 sending you our deepest condolences 🌹🌹💚💚
My father's last journey.
So very sorry to hear 😔 take good care ❤️❤️
And here i am in Tenerife. Grandad was cremated yesterday. Wished him a safe journey to wherever he was going. but wherever he is. My nan was there waiting

Hey girlie I’m currently in school to become a mortician and I recently heard that many people working with formaldehyde end up with health issues and that the risks of getting cancer is quite high. Im very passionate about the funeral industry but hearing this made me slightly hesitant. I was curious to know if this is something Tracy thinks about in her career and if there are ways to safely navigate formaldehyde or if there will always be health risks involved? Love y’all xoxo
Hi Isabella, I think this will be a great question to answer on video. There is a very very small risk but to keep that risk very low your need to follow OHS (occupational health and safety).
Thank you for your question will answer over the coming weeks.
Take good care 😊💚💚
Hey I’m currently in school as well, love your profile pic and yea I enjoy the funeral home business helping families. Very fitting card choice by the way.
yes I worked with formaldehyde building cabinets had cancer twice and several coworkers got cancer and several died
I’m dying! I have 4 months left. It’s A very emotional journey for me and my husband and family! I’m in hospice. Seeing this made me cry, because my husband and family are devastated! Thank you for sharing! 💜
What an incredibly difficult journey for you and your family 🌹 we both send you much love and so very sorry to hear ❤️❤️
My older sister was recently found deceased in my home by me autopsy said she passed in her sleep the night i left home for a weekend getaway and coming home and finding her was a shock last thing i told her was to lay off my coffee while im gone and she laughed and said bite me like the smartass she was crazy to think she wasnt much older than i am currently my family chose cremation and i never gave it much thought on the process til ironically youtube recommended this to me on the home page she may be gone but her memories will live on
Oh no we are very sorry to hear this sad story 😞 please accept our deepest condolences to you and your family 🌹 hope you are doing ok, take good care of yourself 💚💚
We lost my older brother a week ago to suicide. You never know how much you truly need someone in your life until you lose them, and know you can't see or talk to them anymore. Fly high Justin 💔🕊️
So very sorry to hear 😞 sending you our deepest condolences ❤️❤️
This was certainly hard to watch because I lost my dad in August and I’m about to lose my mom. I guess it’s just life. No one can live forever. And I would much rather have ashes than having them lay a box under ground.
Oh Laura we are so very sorry to hear this very sad news 😔 please accept our deepest condolences to you and your family 🌹 and we hope your mum is doing ok 🙏 take good care 💚
My grandma was cremated today she passed away January 24th my heart hurts so bad she raised me I miss her so much
So very sorry to hear 😞 sending you our deepest condolences 🌹🌹❤️❤️
So I assume a body is first embalmed, right?? To get rid of the body fluids. Amazing to see the worker show care and respect and to also see how little is left after the procedure. Thank you...
Hi, no you don't need to embalm to be cremated. In fact here in Australia we don't embalm most of the deceased we care for. Embalming is done if family request, a person is going home for a few days, going into an above ground vaults, repatriated to another country or cultural reasons. Thank you for your comments take care 😊💚
My Dad died 9/28/24. He will be cremated. SIP Daddy, I love you so much. 💙🕊️
So very sorry to hear 😞🩷💜
My dad passed away the day after your dad did, I wish this was a dream 😔😭💔
So very sorry to hear 😞💜💜
Seriously, thank you for another great video. I’m learning new things all the time. Take care
You are very welcome Neil🙂
@@Areyoudyingtoknow you’re very welcome. Did you see my joke line?
Always 😂💚💚
@@Areyoudyingtoknow 👍
My dad died a year ago from cancer he was cremated this video just made me very emotional
So very sorry to hear 😞 sending you our deepest condolences 🌹🌹❤️❤️
Alhamdulillah I am proud to be a muslim Allah make us happy here and hereafter
I know this isnt as drastic as a parent or child dying, as some other comments have said, but my dog died 10 days ago. He was a beautiful all white alaskan husky with one blue eye and one brown and always a big ol goofy smile on his face. We got his ashes back today and its been a very emotional day for me. He was such a pain in the neck with how he was always jumping over the fence and running around the neighborhood or chilling in the neighbors yard, but i loved him to bits. May god rest your soul Fabian, i miss you so much and love your forever 🤍
💜 Oh Brandon, losing a pet can be more traumatic than losing a relative - grief is grief. We hope you are doing ok and have some help and support xx
I know, it’s the last time you’ll ever get burned up over anything
You are funny 😂 Neil 💚
My mom passed just last month Aug 31 2023 an I had her cremated I have her ashes an I can't let her go she will be with me till I pass an then both are ashes can be mixed an put in a beautiful place.....I love u momma rest easy ❤
We are sorry you lost your mum so recently. take care lovely xx
I just received my mom's ashes back three days ago and accidentally opened the urn and saw her cremains [it has a photo frame and i could not figure out for the life of me how to insert the photo i had picked out for her, joke was on me because it was actually a slot you pull out on the bottom oops] and I was really glad that I'd already watched this video. I'm so glad [and sad] to have her home finally, I was getting more and more upset thinking about her sitting in a freezer for a month. I just watched this video again and I appreciate it a lot. Thank you, ladies.
Hi Elizabeth, sending you big hugs 🤗 we hope you are doing ok 🙏 special to have your mum back home 🌹
Oops glad you worked out the photo frame 😉
Take care 💚💚
@@Areyoudyingtoknow I'm doing okay! Just really sad and guilty still over how things progressed. I still feel like it's my fault because I gave her covid. But I'm so glad to have her home where she belongs. I hope you two are doing well too! Haha yeah, she's stuffed pretty tightly into that urn and she almost fell out [thank goodness for the bag] and I literally screamed 'SORRY MOM SORRY!' whilst pushing her back into the box LOL. Oops! Big hugs to you both as well
Oh no don't ever feel guilty, mum would not want you to live like that. Please do worry about that lovely mum is with you always even if you did nearly drop her on the floor 😉 we are both well thanks you for asking
You look after yourself sending hugs 💚💚
My daddy passed 2 weeks ago. Ill never forget him. Rest in paradise daddy love you always.
So very sorry to hear 😔 sending you our deepest condolences ❤️❤️
This is just scary to think of, you’re just suddenly dead and suddenly within an hour or so, all of your body is gone except for your bones. In my opinion, cremations may be cheap and good for the environment but I’d rather do burials, like seriously I don’t want to be turned into ashes with my skin, hair,skull, and eyes all melted and vaporised and gone! Without a trace.
Also what’s even scarier is your body set on fire with the coffin when you can just rest in piece
Also I forgot to mention that there has been reports of lots of people even been cremated alive! While if buried alive, you ring the bell and you can get out.
Cremation is not for everyone. Thank you for your comments take good care 💚
Think many many years ago. To many tall stories. Thank you for your comments.
There's no way in hell that I am going in a hole in the ground!
I don't exactly relish cremation either, but eventually, a decision must be made
My sister passed away on her 35th birthday this year. We love you Mo rest in eternal paradise!!!! Until we meet again!!! ❤
So very sorry to hear 😞 sending you our deepest condolences 🌹🌹
Hello ladies. Over here in Northern Ireland, traditional coffin burial is by far the most popular method of 'corpse disposal', sadly though, I feel it's not for me. My late Dad and Mum, who's 83 years old have/will opt for burial in our local cemetery. I have plumped for cremation, with my remains to be interred in the family plot. I don't know WHY but burial just freaks my mind.....BURN ME! 🥰🥰🤗👍👍👍
Gotta agree with you Gaggy! 👍🥰
With the prices of burials cremation is the cheapest form of burial.
Is Ireland still in the dark ages.
@@philipbooth7779 no it’s just traditional, probably Roman Catholic, like me, I would say the majority of Catholics prefer a burial,
I lost my Grandfather Sept 22nd 2019! I had my best memories with you!
So very sorry to hear 😔 💚💚
