What Respect dumbass? When they mess with your loved ones and cutt them to pieces like a butcher does nd they simply don't care about respect at all. Glad that I don't live in the states.
This scene I still remember very well when my Dad passed away 😢. I used to fear going to mortuary but my dad's death made me to be confident. Continue resting in peace Daddy.
I remember when my mom passed pulling down that white sheet from her face was the hardest thing ever...☹..miss her so much but just remembering the good memories mayb it will hell writing those things down, she passed in 2003 stil feels like yesterday
I am an undertaker and dealing with death everyday makes people assume that our job is morbid. But it really isn’t, we have a part in a journey of a persons last wishes and a families mourning and celebration of a loved ones life. I find this a real honour. Do not fear the dead, we can learn a lot about living life from them ♥️
Me me, "you find (sa) Steve Austin funny?" Huh, you will learn one day, that "Respect" of the deceased is number one. It takes a special person who is in right mind, respectfully to the living and dead.
I used to own a funeral home and people would always ask, "what is the worse death I've seen?" Everyone expects a gory blood and gut story. But the worst death I think is a person who dies alone. Who may or may not have anyone who cares enough about them to know if they're dead or alive. Dan
You're right, as a carer I've seen some Elderly lowly, I do my best to make them comfortable. We chat and make food and medication and shower if needed. I love seeing them happy, I love my job.
That's very true. I'm an embalmer and funeral director apprentice and I get asked all the time. But it is sad to see a funeral that only has 3 or 4 people there.
Wow! Reading all of your comments is really heart breaking because automatically I would have assumed that the worse death a person a person had experienced would be someone who has died a tragic death ☹
I still vividly remember the first time I carried out “last offices”. It was 15 years ago, I was a first year student nurse and I was with the lady when she passed away. I had also been looking after her in the hospital for a week before she passed. It was the most humbling experience in my life. It was myself and the most senior nurse on the ward who carried out the “last offices”. After she passed, her family spent a short time with her, then they left us alone. The first thing we do when someone passes, is to open the window, so that the spirit can leave if they wish. Then we use comfortably warm, fragranced water and soft cloths to wash the deceased’s face, then her entire body. This is all done very gently, as though we were washing a newborn. We talk to the patient throughout the entire process, telling her exactly what we are doing or about to do, always using her name. When we need to roll the patient on her side so that we can wash her back, it is done ever so gently, with us talking to her and explaining what we are doing to the patient the entire time. When the patient is washed and gently dried, we redress her in a fresh hospital gown. We then brush her hair and make sure she is as presentable as possible. We then take a minute or two, to say goodbye to the patient and wish her well on her journey, sometimes saying a prayer (depending on the nurse and on the patient, if we know their beliefs). We then wrap the patient, with her hands clasped loosely on her stomach, in a white sheet, entirely wrapping her body up. We then place her gently inside a white body bag and while she is still lying on her hospital bed, the patient and the bed is entirely covered with a white blanket. This whole process is completed with the utmost respect. It is an extremely peaceful and humbling time. The patient is then taken to the morgue by the hospital porters. I remember that day so vividly, I have done a few since and they have all been special moments. It’s so difficult to explain the emotions. However, due to the area I have been working in for the last 12 years, it is not something that we do. I work in an outpatient department, we do get some patients from wards. However, it is rare for someone to pass away where I work, but if it happens, the patient is sent to the ward for “last offices” as there is so much more privacy there for the patient.

Its currently 3 am, and I am watching videos on embalming, under taking, death. Just hours ago I was feeling extremely depressed and hopeless. However, such videos give me relief reminding me that all suffering on earth will eventually pass.. and we all will walk the same path. Lastly big respect to those who are in this line of work
Me too .. watching videos on dying alone, embalming and funerals of different religions etc at 3am ..every day we get closer to death and death ☠️ comes like a thief in the night 🌃..I'm also preparing for death and slowly giving away all my possessions .. our life on earth is indeed transient

My youngest sister is a nurse and has dealt with life & death for over 25 years. Many people can't do that. She's truly a steel magnolia. Strong as they come but never lost the compassion that job takes
The fact that she’s talking to the patient even while deceased is beautiful, I just recently started working at a hospital and I have nothing but respect for the people that do this, I work in food service and I have seen many deceased patients, and I wouldn’t be able to handle it
The most sacred moments are when we enter the world and when we pass onto the next. Thank you for your meaningful and beautiful care. You provide very special and honorable services to help people whom are hurting and grieving. God bless you.
As a nurse, who has delivered many post mortem patients, as well as body parts, etc. to the Hospital Mortuary. I love this. This is a part of life so many never see. Thank you for sharing.

i think the thought of it is scary because we, as humans, don’t like the unknown. we always like knowing everything. and with death, we don’t know what it will be like, where we are going. we don’t. i don’t think the death specifically is scary to us. i think it’s the unknown that is.
I will ensure to write out a statement of exactly what i want to be done with my remains and make sure it is in my pocket whence i no longer remain on this earth
@@yudelleanlisatajirikenyana4519 I get it but I think he means u choose ur path like wat is right or wrong. God won't force u to do the right thing or wrong thing u choose the path u choose to be good or bad in life
I’m very grateful cna insider improved a lot to take documentary like vice, etc. and I love their documentary especially in the topic as hospital, death, humanity etc. keep spirit and don’t give up
Beautiful it touched my heart as they kept talking to the deceased to maintain their dignity. That's show pure respect and decency. They even excused themselves Whilst washing intimate areas. Very kind and respectful
I sat next to the morgue in the hosp on ground floor a cold little room on my own no sound just the sound of drs pounding on my twenty four yr old sons heart So urgent they forgot I was there they never drew the curtAlns I saw and heard everything this was after a double rd accident he even had a tag on leg ready for morgue months later he.pulled through many probs twenty five yrs later
I remember the first patient I had to prep after she died. I was the LPN unit nurse in a nursing home my first job out of nursing school and had the best aides I would do anything for them and they would do anything for me. This lady passed I was not fond of dead people. The aid I was working with was scared. I didn’t tell her I was too but I told her I would help her.
Very good Job telling this story. Worked Full time at the VA Hospital, in Florida, as a transport aid, handling dead bodies. Also worked part time, at night, at the County morgue, as a security gaurd, watching dead bodies and putting them in the freezer. And had lots of funeral home friends. It all made me try my best to enjoy each and everyday, and everything in it. Humble is the word. And being kind to other ppl no matter the race, and alot of smiling, and no strees. No worries😁😁
Thank you to everyone who took part in this video. We appreciate you guys going through the motions so that we can understand what goes on behind the scenes.
Thank you to these amazing human beings for working hard each day. My father passed in 2015 and it gives me hope to see that there are still great human beings in this world! 🙏❤️
I agree! I have recently started working with a university police releasing bodies to funeral homes and it truly makes you realize how precious life is. Once it’s done you aren’t coming back.
It really just strikes me that human life is so short and each time I passed by CGH, I will always look out for the basement mortuary as thats my first time stepping in when my grandma passed on and it just makes me sad that lifes are just so vulnerable and no matter how many times i watch or heard sad stories, I still didnt really learn my lesson and still continue to be rude to by loved ones and must i really encounter then i will really wake up and start to live a life which i start to be more aware and not take things for so granted?? WHYYYYYYY
I always think how lucky I am (in my humble opinion) to be a human. My life could have been as a slug or a fly or anything. I can’t imagine being anything or anyone else. Being inside of some other vessel looking out through the eyes of some different creature. It’s hard to even fathom.
I assisted the nurses, with my paternal grandmother's final offices 10 yrs ago, when she passed in hospital. I was the only family member with her at the time. I never thought I'd have the strength to do that on a member of my own family. I'm now glad that I did. ( My family have no idea that I did this, to this day.) I knew it was the right thing to do, and when my father later told me how nice she'd looked later, then I was sure. It gave me a form of closure, I never thought I'd find.
Fully agree. I too, assisted my brother with preparing my father's body for burial some 18 years ago. My father lived in a small town where there are no funeral homes, so everything was DIY. We collected his body from the hospital mortuary, washed and dressed him, placed him in a coffin, then took him for a final visit home before going to the cemetery. Throughout this time, we spoke to him as if he was still alive ("Relax a bit, we've got to put a shirt on you"). It wasn't scary at all, and as you said, it gave us closure.
no, not easy. my son worked in mortuary transport for a short time doing removals from homes, hospitals, and crime scenes. it was hard for him, especially where the elderly or children passed on and assuring their families their deceased loved ones would be well-taken care of or scenes of murders and suicides. he would keep feelings bottled up until alone and let them "rip". i sure many dealing with the dead are the same way as it could easily be their own family members.no shame in venting those feelings when alone. we're all human.
It is very common for frontliners to get scolded by patients. When I first joined healthcare last Sept, pts scolded me because of long waiting time etc. But sometimes, we cannot do anything about it. We still have to apologise in a sincere manner and try our best to expedite the situation.
I'm a nursing aide for seven years.the most important thing is that you don't take it personally.somethime the system of the hospital is flawed but you happened to be the one standing in front of the customer.they are complaining about the system not you.have a nice day.
@A B C D E F G H I J K M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z kind of let me explain jesus aas made human but yet divine so he is basically a human version of God its like this God is water jesus is ice both the same but yet different
These scene reminds me when my aunt passed away ...used to be scared when l hear the word mortuary but its part of life that we are going to die and we can't run away from it .....Continue to Rest in peace Aunt,Dad,Sisters,mom,brother and friends
I have sickle cell and March 14th, 2017 I was found unresponsive in my hospital room and remained in a coma for 5 days. I always reflect on it because that could've been the end of me. Even though I'm in excruciating pain I stopped complaining. I'll be graduating soon and getting licensed in medical billing and coding. NDE's are humbling.
I was afraid to touch the deceased until my very first memory care job . A lady had passed on the night shift which I worked and my co worker Gina brushed the deceased residents hair , washed her body and dressed her as if she was alive. I asked her "aren't you afraid?" She said "no she cant hurt me , I love her " then she proceeded to continue making her presentable so that the family could come spend a few last moments with her. She treated the resident with so much diginity and respect I'll never forget . Now I am the one doing that , reassuring my co workers that its okay , dont worry we'll get them cleaned up and comb they're hair before the family comes .
I am grateful that I had the chance to wash and dress my mum's body after she passed away. It helps with grief a lot, like you are doing a proper farewell. I couldn't have the thought of any stranger touching her. I also sat and prayed over her body a whole night and talked to her, and it was like saying my last goodbye, like she was listening. Whereas my dad was prepared for burial at a military hospital and I only could see his body at the funeral service. It just didn't feel right, if that's the right word.
I’m gonna be working in the ER and I know my job is to bag those who pass and I kinda fear it but your words definitely humbled me and make it feel a lot better. So thank you ❤️
I walked my sister to the mortuary door. I told them how wonderful she was and she was loved. I guess I wanted them to be kind to her as they did her autopsy.
I'm not afraid of death it wil be a release for me too long a story nearly lost a son twenty two yrs ago took to a room next to morgue saw things a mum should not I said Jesus if u spare him I will put with anything he spared him with. Many probs he's taken my daughter and son since but not for one .min do I blame Jesus I also have so much respect for Allah born in coventry I'm seventy all My true friends are pakistanies or how u spell it saw the kids grow up gone on to be nurses brain surgeons solicitors I love them all home is where the heart is x

I use to work post cardiac in the hospital. I was a CNA there for about 2 years and I had to do this on my own. Only had a person help me load the patient onto the gurney and that was it. I've also done nursing home work for many years before that. And I would do the cleaning and dressing of my clients with help with my RN. Its very sad when we don't have anyone to call to tell them there loved one passed. So we have to contact the funeral home in there chart for cremation.
Thank you very much for this upload. I’m thankful & respectful of people working & serving the departed & their families. It takes a compassionate & caring person to have this job. God bless you all & for all your help. 👍🏽
My lad of twenty four over twenty four yrs ago got knocked down full force by a moter bike as he lay in a coma on a dark rd a car ran over him no hope of Life taken to a room next to the hosp morgue with tag on leg a mangled bit of meat I heard them banging on his heart spleen ripped out nearly every bone broke four hr brain op etc etc put into they called a Glasgow coma for wks told he would never recover and if he did wouldn't walk or talk he did with many probs he's a credit but the biggest heartache to him and me we've lost his elder sister and younger brother since that's cut us to bits x
I'm glad there are documentaries like this to show an aspect of our world that a lot of us will never see. It helps to give a better understanding of a normal part of death. Too many people are afraid of anything to do with death and things like this can show the loving, respectful aspect of the process that you all go through. Thank you for showing us your world ❤
I lost my husband 4 months ago I went to the Chapel of rest to see him he looked so at peace i kissed his brow told him I loved him am so glad I did that Xx
I hope we have someone like you here in Manila, i wish you were with me mr moshien when my father died in the hospital, i enter the morgue to see him, im quite scared but i want to see him again and say few words that i can really express my grief...if you were with me i should have stayed longer in the morgue. God bless you and your family 😇
I am a retired mortuary assistant, and it's funny how some people still to this day find it strange that we speak to the deceased. I have treated every single person with the same care, dignity, and respect that I would treat my family members. When loved ones thank me for helping them find the closure they needed, it made all my hard work worth it.
Respecting the dead is number one, " not everyone who cares for the dead, deserves respect; "there are those who are alive working with our loved ones whom shouldn't be any where near our loved ones." In Jesus name, l pray for protection of the deceased from those not in the right mind.
I was an RN and decided to take a year out for a job as a mortuary assistant - the pathologist used to laugh at me cos, after an autopsy, I used to wash the bodies gently with warm water. Well, it always crossed my mind that if it was me, I'd like warm water!
Although not quite the same, I work in assisted living homes and I watch residents I care for pass, who I’ve cared for for months and it can be very hard. Sometimes we clean them up as well, and it’s just like a final bath and it’s always very emotional if you know be person .
I’ve done last offices for 5 dead people and I’m not even a nurse. It’s such an humbling experience. It makes me reflect about life and how we are in this world temporarily. We are all going to day one day.
Certain jobs teaches us to be humble in life. Sharing this short documentary will teach way more many of us to be humble. Thank you for sharing this video.
Try to imagine a patient in the final stages of life that death can be a beautiful journey to some where so special that only the deceased know and are reborn into a new life that will wait for a loved one to join and share the new life together forever.. remember in the midst of life we are in the shadow of death.
I worked as a security officer at the Desert Regional Medical Center. Major Trauma center for Coachella Valley. I was the officer in charge of the patients that had passed away. All the way to the babies to the elders. I did that for 2 years. My last job at that hospital was when Bob Hope was there. I cared for that man while he was there. A man my grandpa loved dearly. After my last baby i put into the morgue.. I quit. I was heart broken and couldn't do it no more. I seen so many terrible deaths that i couldn't handle it. I have so many stories. Families that i helped struggle but gave them peace through sharing my native American culture and songs. I still can close my eyes and see all of the people i have helped. One of my hardest jobs i have ever done in my life time was being the one to answer the code black in that hospital.
I want to do this job so incredibly bad! I Have had the misfortune of attending to funerals where the people were almost unrecognizable and it has really pushed me to want to do a better job than the people who embalmed then so that no families have to have that moment where they don’t recognize their loved one in the last second they see them.
I work in a mortuary, I find it the most peaceful place to work in, but at the same time there are certain cases or conditions that still get to me, but I keep as professional as possible, it can be very hard work but it can be very rewarding.
I worked in a hospital for 7 years after seeing people of all ages dying with my own eyes.I completely lost my egoistic tendencies and live one day happily at a time without worrying for the future. Nowadays I'm more peacefull and joyfull even I don't earn much,just to get by its good enough.
Today, I went to an escape room at Bugis called The Morgue and decided to watch something related to it and this is the video that I watched related to it!! Definitely a touching and educational video!! Everyone can definitely learn something from this video and one of it is empathy!! Comment on 11 Dec 2023, 11:18 PM
Thank you for uploading this film. It was very informative and gave me insight into the process after death from hospital to undertakers. I am no longer afraid of what is to come when it's my turn to depart.
I am also a murse (male nurse) in US. We maintain calling the deceased by their name, bid them farewell and wishing them safe journey to the other side whatever that may be.
That's so kind.

As an ICU nurse myself, one of our utmost priorities is to protect and maintain all of our patients dignity - Alive or Dead. Thanks for showing a bit of our (all of the hospital/healthcare staffs) world CNA Insider.

It's scary. I know one day everyone have to go through this but still it's just disturbing.
But it has a hauntingly beautiful element to it
Trust me death is a blessing
i think the thought of it is scary because we, as humans, don’t like the unknown. we always like knowing everything. and with death, we don’t know what it will be like, where we are going. we don’t. i don’t think the death specifically is scary to us. i think it’s the unknown that is.
There is nothing before birth and nothing after death..... your parents give birth to you and you have to live your life
I will ensure to write out a statement of exactly what i want to be done with my remains and make sure it is in my pocket whence i no longer remain on this earth
"You are the author of your own life story"
Hey, many thanks for the highlighted comment & replies. Stay super superb!
Correction - God almighty is the author of our own life story.
@@yudelleanlisatajirikenyana4519 I get it but I think he means u choose ur path like wat is right or wrong. God won't force u to do the right thing or wrong thing u choose the path u choose to be good or bad in life
Definitely sure.... God is not controlling any Man's life.. You're a custodian OF your life.
I’m very grateful cna insider improved a lot to take documentary like vice, etc. and I love their documentary especially in the topic as hospital, death, humanity etc. keep spirit and don’t give up
This is improved? Can you really call this a documentary when it was only 8 minutes long?
I
This is interesting. e_e
Beautiful it touched my heart as they kept talking to the deceased to maintain their dignity. That's show pure respect and decency. They even excused themselves Whilst washing intimate areas. Very kind and respectful
I felt so sad watching this
Knowing that some people in the mortuary have no family
Dang
@@lilithaviel534 Your brand of respect for other's humanity is well known. Execrable creatures.
Reina Arana why death is a natural process
They don’t need anybody but God, it’s only sad to die without Him.
I sat next to the morgue in the hosp on ground floor a cold little room on my own no sound just the sound of drs pounding on my twenty four yr old sons heart
So urgent they forgot I was there they never drew the curtAlns I saw and heard everything this was after a double rd accident he even had a tag on leg ready for morgue months later he.pulled through many probs twenty five yrs later
Zero VRvv
Nurses are a special type of individual❤
Damn Straight.
hell yeah they are
Very true😘
For sure!!!
Also the deathcare workers that handle the bodies when the hospital morgue is done with them ❤️❤️
I remember the first patient I had to prep after she died. I was the LPN unit nurse in a nursing home my first job out of nursing school and had the best aides I would do anything for them and they would do anything for me. This lady passed I was not fond of dead people. The aid I was working with was scared. I didn’t tell her I was too but I told her I would help her.
I work in a Nursing home, I done this lots of times,it's sad,but ok sometimes,they not in pain anymore,Rip, all the residents I looked after.
Very good Job telling this story. Worked Full time at the VA Hospital, in Florida, as a transport aid, handling dead bodies. Also worked part time, at night, at the County morgue, as a security gaurd, watching dead bodies and putting them in the freezer. And had lots of funeral home friends. It all made me try my best to enjoy each and everyday, and everything in it. Humble is the word. And being kind to other ppl no matter the race, and alot of smiling, and no strees. No worries😁😁
thanks for letting us hear these untold stories and sides of the hospital that no one hears about!
I love that the nurses continue to talk to the patient as if they were alive. Theres something cathartic about that.
Thank you to everyone who took part in this video. We appreciate you guys going through the motions so that we can understand what goes on behind the scenes.
Thank you to these amazing human beings for working hard each day. My father passed in 2015 and it gives me hope to see that there are still great human beings in this world! 🙏❤️
I agree! I have recently started working with a university police releasing bodies to funeral homes and it truly makes you realize how precious life is. Once it’s done you aren’t coming back.
This documentary resonates with me as my Dad passed away a week ago. I miss him terribly.
His soul lives on. The body left behind is nothing more than a shell for this Earthly life. Your dad is gone...... but his spirit is very much alive.
It really just strikes me that human life is so short and each time I passed by CGH, I will always look out for the basement mortuary as thats my first time stepping in when my grandma passed on and it just makes me sad that lifes are just so vulnerable and no matter how many times i watch or heard sad stories, I still didnt really learn my lesson and still continue to be rude to by loved ones and must i really encounter then i will really wake up and start to live a life which i start to be more aware and not take things for so granted?? WHYYYYYYY
I always think how lucky I am (in my humble opinion) to be a human. My life could have been as a slug or a fly or anything. I can’t imagine being anything or anyone else. Being inside of some other vessel looking out through the eyes of some different creature. It’s hard to even fathom.
My sweet beautiful mother passed the other day unexpectedly in the hospital and this is just making my stomach turn! Sooo sad!!! 💔💔💔
I assisted the nurses, with my paternal grandmother's final offices 10 yrs ago, when she passed in hospital. I was the only family member with her at the time. I never thought I'd have the strength to do that on a member of my own family. I'm now glad that I did. ( My family have no idea that I did this, to this day.) I knew it was the right thing to do, and when my father later told me how nice she'd looked later, then I was sure. It gave me a form of closure, I never thought I'd find.
Fully agree. I too, assisted my brother with preparing my father's body for burial some 18 years ago. My father lived in a small town where there are no funeral homes, so everything was DIY. We collected his body from the hospital mortuary, washed and dressed him, placed him in a coffin, then took him for a final visit home before going to the cemetery. Throughout this time, we spoke to him as if he was still alive ("Relax a bit, we've got to put a shirt on you"). It wasn't scary at all, and as you said, it gave us closure.
Bless these angels. Some of them take real good care of their patients. Well done.
This actually changed my perspective of working in mortuary, it was really insightful and the mortuary workers have my respect
Definitely not a easy job
I will always be depressed. This job it's can make you appreciate each day of your life.
@@pruddyt8645 still not an easy job
Avis 241 life ain’t easy
Imagine being a trauma surgeon. Split decision in ur hands whether alive or dead.
no, not easy. my son worked in mortuary transport for a short time doing removals from homes, hospitals, and crime scenes. it was hard for him, especially where the elderly or children passed on and assuring their families their deceased loved ones would be well-taken care of or scenes of murders and suicides. he would keep feelings bottled up until alone and let them "rip". i sure many dealing with the dead are the same way as it could easily be their own family members.no shame in venting those feelings when alone. we're all human.
This really brought tears to my eyes,it made picture how my cousin sis who died few months ago was kept in the mortuary ,nma Rest In Peace
It is very common for frontliners to get scolded by patients. When I first joined healthcare last Sept, pts scolded me because of long waiting time etc. But sometimes, we cannot do anything about it. We still have to apologise in a sincere manner and try our best to expedite the situation.
I'm a nursing aide for seven years.the most important thing is that you don't take it personally.somethime the system of the hospital is flawed but you happened to be the one standing in front of the customer.they are complaining about the system not you.have a nice day.
Biggest respect for the mortuary workers and officers.
Thank you Jesus for the gift of life.
AMEN!!!!×
@Fred Wilkerson what did he say about dying he only said thank you God for the gift of life, you are not very smart
@A B C D E F G H I J K M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z kind of let me explain jesus aas made human but yet divine so he is basically a human version of God its like this God is water jesus is ice both the same but yet different
Amen
Its Allaah🤗
These scene reminds me when my aunt passed away ...used to be scared when l hear the word mortuary but its part of life that we are going to die and we can't run away from it .....Continue to Rest in peace Aunt,Dad,Sisters,mom,brother and friends
get busy living or get busy dying
I have sickle cell and March 14th, 2017 I was found unresponsive in my hospital room and remained in a coma for 5 days.
I always reflect on it because that could've been the end of me.
Even though I'm in excruciating pain I stopped complaining.
I'll be graduating soon and getting licensed in medical billing and coding.
NDE's are humbling.
I’ll never forget my first experience of this. As we turned the patient air came out of his lungs and I thought he’d come back to life.
Hello 👋 Vanessa
How are you doing?
I was afraid to touch the deceased until my very first memory care job . A lady had passed on the night shift which I worked and my co worker Gina brushed the deceased residents hair , washed her body and dressed her as if she was alive. I asked her "aren't you afraid?" She said "no she cant hurt me , I love her " then she proceeded to continue making her presentable so that the family could come spend a few last moments with her. She treated the resident with so much diginity and respect I'll never forget . Now I am the one doing that , reassuring my co workers that its okay , dont worry we'll get them cleaned up and comb they're hair before the family comes .
Gina touched your heart now you are touching others hearts beautiful..
I am grateful that I had the chance to wash and dress my mum's body after she passed away. It helps with grief a lot, like you are doing a proper farewell. I couldn't have the thought of any stranger touching her. I also sat and prayed over her body a whole night and talked to her, and it was like saying my last goodbye, like she was listening.
Whereas my dad was prepared for burial at a military hospital and I only could see his body at the funeral service. It just didn't feel right, if that's the right word.
I’m gonna be working in the ER and I know my job is to bag those who pass and I kinda fear it but your words definitely humbled me and make it feel a lot better. So thank you ❤️
@@football_guy9151 please update us how you're doing at the hospital job. It's such a respectful & humbling job to bag bodies after death. Bless you!
Respect to Nurses and doctors who give their all..I was a hospice nurse.
God bless them for their compassion and digitized care. RIP
I walked my sister to the mortuary door. I told them how wonderful she was and she was loved. I guess I wanted them to be kind to her as they did her autopsy.
To Allah we belong and to Him we shall return. SubhanAllah this truly is an eye opener.
I'm not afraid of death it wil be a release for me too long a story nearly lost a son twenty two yrs ago took to a room next to morgue saw things a mum should not I said Jesus if u spare him I will put with anything he spared him with. Many probs he's taken my daughter and son since but not for one .min do I blame Jesus I also have so much respect for Allah born in coventry I'm seventy all
My true friends are pakistanies or how u spell it saw the kids grow up gone on to be nurses brain surgeons solicitors I love them all home is where the heart is x
@@brendadrumm9708 Peace be on you Brenda. So sorry to hear about what you went through. This life is merely a test, as Allah has stated in our beautiful Quran and that was yours. The only way to find peace is with Allah, everyone will eventually leave you and you with them but Allah always remains, the everlasting.

This made me cry. I don’t think I could do this job. I could just imagine see families break down, and I know that would make me very sad
I have a new appreciation for life now. Live every moment of life to the fullest. ❤
I love that the doctors talk to the patient still.
I use to work post cardiac in the hospital. I was a CNA there for about 2 years and I had to do this on my own. Only had a person help me load the patient onto the gurney and that was it. I've also done nursing home work for many years before that. And I would do the cleaning and dressing of my clients with help with my RN. Its very sad when we don't have anyone to call to tell them there loved one passed. So we have to contact the funeral home in there chart for cremation.
I love this dad daughter duo, they are so cool and I respect them so much for what they do. ❤
A Big Salute.... you're all doing a tremendous heartfelt Service.... & treating them at utmost respect. Thank you
Thank you very much for this upload. I’m thankful & respectful of people working & serving the departed & their families. It takes a compassionate & caring person to have this job. God bless you all & for all your help. 👍🏽
I thank god for making my life a miracle after I had that disease and almost lost my life (2 weeks old) when I was a baby.
So coincidentally CNA. I'm a nurse in ICU too, last night one patient of us passed away then we sent his body to mortuary.
My lad of twenty four over twenty four yrs ago got knocked down full force by a moter bike as he lay in a coma on a dark rd a car ran over him no hope of Life taken to a room next to the hosp morgue with tag on leg a mangled bit of meat I heard them banging on his heart spleen ripped out nearly every bone broke four hr brain op etc etc put into they called a Glasgow coma for wks told he would never recover and if he did wouldn't walk or talk he did with many probs he's a credit but the biggest heartache to him and me we've lost his elder sister and younger brother since that's cut us to bits x
I respect so much the humanity behind their service
I remembered nurse Shahirah as a vey thoughtful and kind nurse to my late mother. God bless.
Thank you Lord Jesus for giving my family and I life for this day. Amen.
I’m about to lose my dad in roughly two weeks. Thank you for this video! Big love and hugs. Thank you
Nice to have people work so hard for taking care of out deceased families.
Nice to see Father and Daughter working together
Mad respect to all those who do this noble job around the globe !
I'm glad there are documentaries like this to show an aspect of our world that a lot of us will never see. It helps to give a better understanding of a normal part of death. Too many people are afraid of anything to do with death and things like this can show the loving, respectful aspect of the process that you all go through. Thank you for showing us your world ❤
Hello 👋 Jennifer
How are you doing?
I lost my husband 4 months ago I went to the Chapel of rest to see him he looked so at peace i kissed his brow told him I loved him am so glad I did that Xx
Huge RESPECT for these people who do this very noble job. The are heroes in their own way.
Sir am from India ...
So greatful of you.....it is a great lesson for us ...
Such an incredible officers
I didn't believe I can be cured from HPV, not when I was recommended to DR RORPOPOR HERBAL on UA-cam who cured me with his herbal supplement
I never knew about the cleaning process. Thank you to the nurses.
I hope we have someone like you here in Manila, i wish you were with me mr moshien when my father died in the hospital, i enter the morgue to see him, im quite scared but i want to see him again and say few words that i can really express my grief...if you were with me i should have stayed longer in the morgue. God bless you and your family 😇
Thank you for stories like these CNA!
Thanks for your support!
I am a retired mortuary assistant, and it's funny how some people still to this day find it strange that we speak to the deceased.
I have treated every single person with the same care, dignity, and respect that I would treat my family members.
When loved ones thank me for helping them find the closure they needed, it made all my hard work worth it.
Father and daughter is the best companion ever 🙏
Mother and son also
I have such immense respect for these individuals. It is a solemn and thankless profession but it needs to be done. God bless
Respecting the dead is number one, " not everyone who cares for the dead, deserves respect; "there are those who are alive working with our loved ones whom shouldn't be any where near our loved ones." In Jesus name, l pray for protection of the deceased from those not in the right mind.
Thank you GOD for waking me up 🙏🙏 and for the gift of life which Is priceless
amen!
I was an RN and decided to take a year out for a job as a mortuary assistant - the pathologist used to laugh at me cos, after an autopsy, I used to wash the bodies gently with warm water. Well, it always crossed my mind that if it was me, I'd like warm water!
Hello 👋 Jennifer
How are you doing?
Lord, thank you for this life. May their souls be rest in peace
Although not quite the same, I work in assisted living homes and I watch residents I care for pass, who I’ve cared for for months and it can be very hard. Sometimes we clean them up as well, and it’s just like a final bath and it’s always very emotional if you know be person .
I tip my hat, that is dignity and respect!! Thank you!
I’ve done last offices for 5 dead people and I’m not even a nurse. It’s such an humbling experience. It makes me reflect about life and how we are in this world temporarily. We are all going to day one day.
Wish it could be longer though but good job CNA.
Respect them.. sy pernah lalui, ketika mak sy meninggal kt HQE1 they do the best.
So much respect for this job
Thank you~
You said it, you said respect, and respect is number one. Thumbs up to you. So many people don't have the knowledge of knowing the difference.
"You are the author of your own life story." Eloquently phrased💖
Oh yes beautiful said I agree
Doctors and nurses deserve more respect 👏👏
Life is so precious but its too short, lets not take it for granted
Certain jobs teaches us to be humble in life. Sharing this short documentary will teach way more many of us to be humble. Thank you for sharing this video.
I'm learning
I'm glad I'm one of them.
So true .and I looking at my future destination. In a fridge.
I love that they still tell them everything they are doing or gonna do that is key still giving them dignity
Try to imagine a patient in the final stages of life that death can be a beautiful journey to some where so special that only the deceased know and are reborn into a new life that will wait for a loved one to join and share the new life together forever.. remember in the midst of life we are in the shadow of death.
I worked as a security officer at the Desert Regional Medical Center. Major Trauma center for Coachella Valley. I was the officer in charge of the patients that had passed away. All the way to the babies to the elders. I did that for 2 years. My last job at that hospital was when Bob Hope was there. I cared for that man while he was there. A man my grandpa loved dearly. After my last baby i put into the morgue.. I quit. I was heart broken and couldn't do it no more. I seen so many terrible deaths that i couldn't handle it. I have so many stories. Families that i helped struggle but gave them peace through sharing my native American culture and songs. I still can close my eyes and see all of the people i have helped. One of my hardest jobs i have ever done in my life time was being the one to answer the code black in that hospital.
What's code black.? X
indeed there's need to be humble in life and never hurt one's feelings.
Respect the nurses who do the last offices and the mortuary officers who handle the closure of those you love.
I want to do this job so incredibly bad! I Have had the misfortune of attending to funerals where the people were almost unrecognizable and it has really pushed me to want to do a better job than the people who embalmed then so that no families have to have that moment where they don’t recognize their loved one in the last second they see them.
I work in a mortuary, I find it the most peaceful place to work in, but at the same time there are certain cases or conditions that still get to me, but I keep as professional as possible, it can be very hard work but it can be very rewarding.
I worked in a hospital for 7 years after seeing people of all ages dying with my own eyes.I completely lost my egoistic tendencies and live one day happily at a time without worrying for the future. Nowadays I'm more peacefull and joyfull even I don't earn much,just to get by its good enough.
This is very sad. I am glad to know that those who have passed; are treated with the dignity they deserve.
Hello 👋 Daisy
How are you doing?
Today, I went to an escape room at Bugis called The Morgue and decided to watch something related to it and this is the video that I watched related to it!! Definitely a touching and educational video!! Everyone can definitely learn something from this video and one of it is empathy!!

Thank you for uploading this film. It was very informative and gave me insight into the process after death from hospital to undertakers. I am no longer afraid of what is to come when it's my turn to depart.
Learning that they talk to the patient just broke my heart but also warmed it a bit. My grandmother died
