In the UK we do not have caskets or vaults. People are buried in coffins which are designed to decay and become one with the earth. Why would you want your loved one rotting in a steel water logged box or mummifying? it just seems so weird to me.
All Cascket’s will explode over time as the rotting corpse throws off Gases.
The Body Rot’s inside any Cascket. Sealed or Unsealed. Regaurdless, You can’t STOP, water from getting into any Cascket, with a rotting Body.
She works smarter not harder.
How do you raise/Lower the inner part of a casket please?
Of all the (open casket) funerals I have attended, I have not seen anyone lying in one with their eyes open....That is a NON breathing human.....Maybe I will write THAT in my last will and testament: My eyes shall remain open so I can at least "see" who says "goodbye" to me, and who is actually distraught at my demise. Or, better yet, to show everyone I had or HAVE a sense of humor, position my body in the casket so it appears as if I'm laying in it "alive" and watching who comes in the room--maybe even prop my hand up as if saying "hello" OR "goodbye", maybe get some mechanical device to make it appear even MORE "alive" (to be "waved" at the funeral director's discretion?) 😶🤣🤣🤣 Would like the theme song to the HBO show Six Feet Under playing on a loop during visitation hours?
I notice there the lock mechanism is the seal is compromised, the sealing bubble is cut to accommodate the lock and doesn’t seal.
If youre buried alive aint no getting out of that
What if someone wants to unbury a casket and take the body out and bury it elsewhere, can we get the key back to open it?
The occupant of the casket is deceased and has no idea what happens if the gasket fails or not. Only the living fools worry about such nonsense. My Dad was killed in an accident 13 years ago and I have not once worried about water flooding or bugs getting inside his casket. People need to focus on things they can control, period.
I've never understood why people get concerned about water getting into a casket. I realize that the deceased is a loved one, but they are dead, and are completely unaware of anything that may or may not be happening underground. Common sense tells us that everything degrades over time (including our loved ones in the ground), and so it's always seemed crazy to me that people would spend outrageous sums of money on a casket that is going to leak anyway. I'd much rather my loved ones save that money and use it to do something fun. Do it in my memory if it gives you comfort. When my time comes, I want my loved ones to cheap-out everywhere they can. Don't buy an expensive casket, a hole in the ground, or a concrete vault. Just burn me up and do what you want with my ashes. God will figure out how to put me back together one day. He created the universe from nothing, so I'm sure he can handle me.
I really appreciate the honesty in your posts, as compared to some other funeral directors on social media who make conjectural statements.
I love your videos
Well the person isn't there anyhow.
Interesting in why put underwear on the deceased …?
It's amazing that even when the casket lid is locked down and sealed, gases that build up in the decomposition of the body can blow that lid right off. I'm assuming that only happens in crypts and not a casket that's buried in the ground where it has a ton of dirt on top of the casket.
I think it happens anyway even if the casket is under ground. I could be mistaken
When you pulled the dressing table away the body was in casket why a gap in the film
Lower lid of that casket is bent
How can I find the key. One of my relative dead body comes from Italy to Bangladesh by air. So I must need to know where the key is I found
shouldn't the head strap actually go under head at not neck
Not necessarily; the neck supports the head, and the straps can slip if you put them under the head.
shouldn't a mask be worn
why?
Very interesting. I’m sure this is much more challenging with an actual corpse.
Question. What is the purpose of the gasket when the lid is made of two parts with a small gap in between? When we buried my great grandmother I could see right through the slit between the upper and bottom doors.
What if you have someone that the family hasn't brought clothes? Do you have some kind of catalog you get clothing from? When my brother was stillborn in 1961, I saw a picture of him in his casket. I know we didn't bring clothes for him. I am trying to find a picture of what he may have had on for my mom. She wasn't allowed to go to the funeral. Thanks
The funeral home may have had clothes for a child at that time. Some funeral homes still do have extra clothes for people who do not bring them.
@@candicel7683 thanks
Why was your mom not allowed to go to the funeral? Sounds a bit unethical if you ask me.
@@lynn-marieflechner5406 At that time it was rare that a mom was allowed to see, hold or attend the funeral of a newborn.
When they make caskets that “burp” where does it come out?
I don't know of caskets that burp
@@candicel7683 from what I’ve learned, they’re used mostly in tightly sealed caskets so that as pressure builds up, it can be released to prevent them from exploding.
Well they don't open the mausoleums to burp then nor do they that I have seen before we place them in
here in Britain we just use Screws to hold down the wooden lid ..
In the U.K. 🇬🇧the belief is that the deceased is buried in order that they may return to the elements. “EARTH TO EARTH! ASHES TO ASHES! DUST TO DUST” those words are often expressed by the clergy as the coffin is lowered into the grave. Muslim/Arabic/Jewish burials don’t even use a “container” the body is just covered in swaddling sheets. Countries have differing views on burial traditions.
I find very interesting many individuals fail to realize, no fault of their own. The dressing of a decadent has challenges and isn’t like dressing a living individual. Weight and lack of flexibility, being two challenges. Dressing Mort was a good representation of dressing a decedent, however you and I know it’s not that easy. Best regards
Thanks for being such a sweet lady.
Thanks ,and appreciate your explanation how it all works.Not every one can do that job.
Where did you get the demo person from?
Water getting in shouldn’t be an issue considering the person is dead
Well the issue is with contamination of groundwater.
Do those caskets come with memory foam? I'm looking for a nice quiet place to sleep when my wife is sawing logs.
Nice watch
With all due respect, you need to learn the correct terms before making such a video.
Love these videos! Very educational
I want to be buried in a wooden casket with a bell vault and no chemicals....Our bodies, preservatives, sealed vaults leave a chemical mess. In 300 years everthing buried today will be gone (I think).
Why seal it? Buried in the ground, usually in a vault, seems highly unlikely for it to be opened. As for those rubber gaskets, only last a short time. Deteriorates as all rubber does, then the seal is gone. Even if no outside things get in, the body and the air trapped in upon closing a casket, mold will form, moisture in the air, would have to be vacuumed out. All the while no one will see the decomposition ( outside of an exhumation). A useless effort to a burial. The body is buried so it can decompose safely from the living. That's the entire purpose. Our culture dresses it all as a nice send-off, for this " rest in peace" pretend attitude. It's a nice thought to think the buried person will look pristine for many decades as it is seen at the funeral. Not how it really is.
Dan, I think caskets are sealed just to be on the safe side to prevent robbery such as jewelry, etc from the body. I would assume so anyway.
Have you ever had any paranormal experiences while at work?
That’s not a person that’s a maniqin
So nice and calming and easily explained
How The Guy Will Alive How Is?
Thank you for posting. I wasn't sure how the gasket sealed.
My mother was buried a week ago in a sealed casket but before they buried her they opened the casket so we could see her for the last time, then they didn’t locked the casket when they buried her, is there any problem by that?
I’ve always been wondering ... when you are getting them dress and putting them in the casket .. do they still have their weight ? And also ... what do you guys use to keep them looking presentable if they make the funeral like weeks later bc my mom told me that if they make the funeral weeks later then they would be like an inflated balloon ..
Good to know 🙂
Don't know if dressing a client is covered in embalming/mortuary school or something one learns during apprenticeship, but maybe for demo/practice, you should consider using life-sized drawing practice figures for more plausible limb manipulation. Like plushy Mort, they're not perfect, but they do add a restricted range of motion that's closer to an actual corpse. Also, maybe one doesn't always use them, but another level of "realism" would be putting plastic undergarments (don't know the proper word for the pants & shirts) on the deceased.
I had always wonder what sealed the casket. I had a friend that looked at one and he found hidden vent hole here the handles are.
Why is she using a fake skeleton why isn't she using the same thing schools use?
Because I'm not a school
I’m confused your cut the shirt your don’t put anything under to protect them they’re already cold going underground 🥺🥺🥺😩😩😩😩
Umm they are dead and they go in a casket why would they protection?
I would very much doubt that any clients have complained .
One job I’ll never do in this life . Because I’ll be doing everything I can to bring them back to live I’m too emotional
