We now have TWO facilities in my State - and it's my first choice when it's my turn. Thanks so much for sharing your vids Sweetheart. Your last one is still helping me with losing my Mother.. She's hanging in there, but the pre-grief is debilitating, and your vid was incredibly timely. Thanks again : )
Thank you so much for this perfectly timed video! I am applying to mortuary school this week, and was just explaining to my father last night about what alkaline hydrolysis is and why it is what I want to offer people. This is a perfect little video to send to him! 🤗
Hello Lauren. This is a process that I have an interest in. I just don't care for the volatileness of flames. I've also heard of a process where the body is frozen and reduced to particles. Perhaps you might comment on this sometime. Always good to see you. Take care.
I thought of a video I would love to see. A week of outfits! You could take a picture or video every day for a week and explain what you like about the pieces. That’s the hardest thing for me I’ve been long term job shadowing and having variety in outfits while still wearing appropriate outfits is rough.
I've always been curious, do you have any knowledge of the disposal process for the run off or remaining water as a byproduct of alkaline hydrolysis? I know it's spoken about as a green alternative but I'm curious about that final step and if there are any regulations in the states where it's legal that determine where this can be disposed of.
I’m curious as well, I’ve heard it’s totally safe for going right down the drain ( especially when you think of some stuff that gets washed down there, like at a hair salon!)
i’m pretty sure caitlyn doughty addressed this in her video. From what I remember she said it’s much safer runoff than the other options, if not virtually harmless
It’s legal here in the state of Illinois and the state of Missouri, I live near St. Louis on the Illinois side. I’m all about water cremation . Nothing like having a last hot steaming bath on my way out!
@@geedubb2005 better than slowly rotting away under ground with the bugs, contaminating the soil with your dead corpse and disgusting chemicals, turning into a big pile of goo. If your family comes to visit you and there’s a slight back up of water, they can smell the rot from the ground. Eventually you’ll be forgotten about. So what’s the point of being buried? I’ve made my choice . I have no children , can’t have any. This is my plan when I die. It’s better and more environmentally friendly than fire cremation. If you plan on being shoved in a wall at a cemetery, you’re basically being turned into beef jerky by being dried out in your box . I ask you what are your plans?
I have so many questions to ask, have you bury any famous celebrities in the past? How does your brain react when it sees dead bodies? Do you have trouble sleeping during the night after what you seen in your day? If you had the power to bring a loved one of yours or your favourite celebrity back to life, who would it be? Fyi I'm a newbie fan of yours!
That sounds like putting the body in a large pressure cooker and cooking it doe to a slime. Doesn’t sound to good to me. Does the leftovers go down the sewer? And back into our ground water? If those people really want to be “green”, just wrap their body in a cotton sheet and go to high ground, dig a grave and bury them. Using electricity for the liquid cremation thing is not very green either. Running embalming fluids down the sewer is just not right. Our Country refuses to acknowledge that water is a precious commodity and we all require it.
This is GENIUS!!!!! Thanks for this amazing video!!!

Super interesting!
Looking forward to the next episode!
I had no idea this is so widely available!! Thank you so much for explaining.

Good video Lauren!
Very good video. I look forward to Wednesdays now. BTW, I miss the little beginning part you were using to start off your videos. Anyway, good work.
Thank you! When I was editing this the intro was giving me problems so I decided to exclude it for this one!
There's also a disposition called promession...which is freeze dried cremation

How about a "Keith Update'!😁😁😁😁
Just curious, cost higher, lower than traditional cremation?
Is there a list of states where it's legal?
It’s hard to read but there is a graphic in this where it shows the legal states

Go pressure cook some meat for about six hours and see if you’re still up for it.

Why isn't alkaline hydrolysis legal in every state?
Money and politics
@@LittleMissFuneral I wonder what the big deal is? I'm just trying to learn. Thanks for the reply.

Soooo not going to cook my loved ones
Can you become a funeral director without becoming an embalmer?
