I don't think anyone will read this but... long post

I think this is something that few know.

I took my passion for death and corpses to real life, I paid a lot of money to get thanatopraxy studies that included in-person classes with corpses. So that's how it was, I read all the books they gave me, I still have them, if anyone is interested I could show them, even though they are in Spanish.

I passed the exams and finally went to another city where I entered a funeral home all day for a week. We were only a group of 5 people, including me. It was time to face reality and see if we were all really capable of carrying out what we learned.

The deceased arrived, she was a morbidly obese woman, she was naked, although she usually always arrives in hospital clothes.

Several classmates began to touch their hands, feet... the teacher dictated what they had to do, it was like a small test of courage, a first contact.

I just watched, I was always very asocial, so because of my silence the teacher thought I wasn't capable of doing it, so he gave me a more difficult challenge.

***He said my name,"touch his tongue." He opened the corpse's mouth, I could see that his tongue was purple,but without a doubt I put two fingers in and touched his tongue. I can still remember how it felt, it was hard, cold and wet.

The others just lowered their faces so as not to look.

And I would be lying if I told you that I don't repeat that memory in my head over and over again, imagining other people.

We did all the practices with her, which I can tell in another post if this interests you enough.

We perform what is known as cavity treatment, embalming fluids are injected through the carotid artery to better preserve the corpse, excess fluids and gases are also drained.

All this begins with the professor sticking the tip of a scissors into the artery. It is assumed that she did not have to bleed, but she did. Being a person with that physical condition, her body delayed cooling and a small river of blood started from her body that we ourselves had to clean.

We did a great job despite everything, it is much more than that,dressing, other techniques,other corpses, other stories, memories that family members left us, I would love to tell this at length.

Maybe this makes you uncomfortable because you might think that possibly a shitty necrophiliac can get your body to work with?

Maybe, I can't judge you. None of those corpses attracted me sexually, they were not people to my taste, the majority were older people. What attracts me is the death that is in them, and how I can leave them beautiful in their eternal rest.

I am currently looking for work, but it is a little difficult to enter that sector, it sucks, but at least I have anecdotes and experiences to tell here on a blog full of mentally ill people, sharing my most real and close experience.

April 17th 1895 saw Scotland’s first cremation at Glasgow’s Western Necropolis.

After a long search for an appropriate piece of land bought in 1893, it was two years before the first cremation took place. The Crematorium was built in the gothic revival style. The architect used only the finest materials, including red sandstone and rare marble and included fine carvings, dogtooth ornament and a ‘descending catafalque’ which the Directors considered to be less of a departure from a traditional earth burial.

Cremations were extremely slow to catch on and, after ten years, only 191 had actually been carried out. After a further 30 years the annual figure was still only 346 but that did not deter the Society and, in 1936, they set to work doubling the capacity of the chapel to 100 and building four additional floors onto the Crematorium . In the late 1940’s, as a result of increasing popularity, a second chapel was commissioned, opening as an extension of the existing buildings in 1954.

Wall space in the Chapel was widely used for memorial plaques but by 1953 the space was entirely used up and it was therefore decided it was decided to introduce a Book of Remembrance that continues to be in use to this day.
