    Victor, if you see this, please know that you helped me get through a close friend's passing. He was young like me, and you never expect something like this to happen.
    During the viewing before the funeral, I noticed that his cheeks were pink and rosy, he didn't look caked in make-up and he simply looked asleep. I immediately thought about the things you mentioned about the red liquid and how it's used to bring color to faces. I also remembered how you talked about why morticians place the left hand over the right.
    All of those things were going through my head as I saw my good friend laying in the casket. And you know what? Knowing that he had received such good care because you detailed how bodies are to be handled and cared for brought some peace to my heart. Thank you, Victor. 🙏🏿

      My grandpa passed away after an excruciatingly long time in the hospital, he was only the ghost of himself by the time he was gone, and all of us while being somewhat relieved that he was finally out of his suffering (if you've ever witnessed a loved one in a constant state of pain, you know what I mean), we did not want to remember him like that, and at first we wanted a closed casket so that other people wouldn't see him, because it was simply not fair to him...the mortician however reassured us, and did such an amazing job at preparing him that when we saw him in the casket we almost couldn't breathe, he looked more alive there than in his last months, so peaceful and serene that I fe it was almost therapeutic to us.
      I remembered Victor's videos, and same as you I felt better thinking of the care that the mortician must have put into doing such a great job and felt more grateful for it.

      @Yogi Breeze felt like replying cause I think this is a good answer, in ways I am not afraid of death if it were a quick death like a gun to the head/heart, quick car crash or anything of the sort if it isn’t painful I’d say no I’m not scared cause I won’t feel it, if it were painful like bleeding out slowly and feeling the pain yes I would be afraid.

      Americans might also have antique zombies/skeletons roaming the land. It’s the norm here for a grave to be a final resting place that shouldn’t be dug up for any reason. So we probably have our fair share of undisturbed graves dating back literally 400 years. So if modern American zombies are all buried in sealed caskets with sealed jaws, our zombie apocalypse could just be the skeleton war.

    I have a sweatshirt that says “Future Corpse” and am headed to mortuary school in the fall. Morticia Addams would be proud of us both. Jokes aside….losing both parents within two months at age 15 really has a lot to do with going into the profession.

      @@guillermocuadra1990 i don't think it's indifference, it seems to him what he does is helpful for the friends and family of the deceased. So in a way him working on someone he knows is him helping the friends and family of that person and in a way helping the person who passed away too. And it does feel nice if you know you are helping a friend or family.
