Not nearly as creepy as it would be. Like a big laundry room with a big folding table.A drag Queen's dream when it came to cosmetics.

I wish saved my Lego building of the Cockfield Funeral Home on 8-Mile Rd.we used to pass by, and viewed a lamp in an upstairs visitation room with a circular fluorescent light in there, which would be the only light on in the otherwise dark building, seeing as the place was closed at the time when we drove by it...
"Lady Attendant" the yellow pages stated... It's now an auto parts shop (boasting an upstairs) as my Lego structure must have turned into some other type of business (road house, restaurant, gas station or bar?) related to my Matchbox/Hot Wheels/Pocket Cars and the many odd-makes of... -- Dave |

That’s for washing the body during the preparation process. You can also see there that motor at the left of the big sink basin. That gets attached to a large needle like instrument via a rubber hose, and this gets poked into your gut and they stab it around and jab all of your organs with it to suck out all the various liquids... cavity aspiration it’s called. To me the most freakish part of the embalming I think. I’m more disturbed by autopsies I think.

The only time I've been in an embalming room was when a neighbor of ours was buying a used Chevette from a funeral home which the deceased person probably had no heir to give the car to....
I sat in the front seat as she drove it around in the vast and surprisingly empty parking lot, (with the sound of a "Rod knocking" coming through one the right rear quarter panel, and it had such a tiny glove box I briefly opened) as there were supposedly no services at that time, that day, and got a first hand look at what that funeral home was like before low and behold there would afterwards funerals of people thereI had attended... So my mom told me how the embalming procedure operates, and even told me long ago the undertaker as was termed back then before ofwhich we refer to as funeral director all the time I'd been alive actually comes to your house and embalms the dead right in your living room... I simultaneously was also surprised that this being a Jewish funeral home even had an embalming room, as I learned Jews don't embalm the bodies... Well, the young lass replacing her 1970 2-door Chevy Nova which replaced a 1960's Ford station wagon that was her first car which we had fun putting wood-grained contact paper on, didn't buy it, she settled for a former-teacher's Plymouth Volaré then getting her father's slightly olderAMC Hornet station wagon, before a sickly green Ford LTD II wagon came after that, and luckily to save us from derailing our topic even further, forgot everything else! --Dave |

I can't imagine I would want a room I work in to be orange like that. I would like the cabinets to be much lighter. And really, why vinyl tiles that will get bumpy and start coming up? Sheet vinyl, epoxy, acid washed concrete are what I would want. Dr. G., on her show, designed a new morgue. It had a terrazzo surface that included old beer bottles, she said the floor was the best part of the new facility.

Why waste Fancy Neon Orange Paint on a room or lab strictly for undertaking the dead? Just cinder blocks in off-white will do, and be sure to have plenty of air conditioning that actually REFRIGERATES!

I don’t think I can look at another garbage disposal again, after I saw an article where one is right under a sink where this dirty work is done and some of your remains get washed down the drain... (forgot to save to archive and post here)
A secret room was a mostly-unused morgue/pathology lab at the hospital that I used to work at, was similar in that I caught a glimpse of a shower there for the body and a stainless steel table and even a small Mont. Ward top mounted fridge, and while the (now-late) pathologist was occasionally working there, could smell what he was he was doing, and hear the saw cutting that could easily cut more than just the dead person... — Dave CLICK HERE TO GO TO DaveAMKrayoGuy's LINK This post was last edited 07/05/2020 at 20:00 |

My older relatives have all opted for lower cost cremation. The comment one of them made to me, "I don't care about what happens after I'm gone".
I'm pretty much the same. As long as my will is made out, and I have made arrangements for any people and pets I might be responsible for, I also don't care. My philosophy is dust to dust, and when I'm gone, that's it. If I can swing it, I'd opt for a painless death.
