Working in a funeral home is either getting off four hours early or never going home

Hey, so I know a lot of people are scared of being buried alive out there (fun fact: it’s the reason Cremation started to be considered again after Christianity) and I’m honestly not sure how many people this will actually help but just in case, i wanted to assure you that the chances of you being buried alive are so incredibly slim. And I will now just list some reasons for those curious.

-if you are being buried, you may also likely be embalmed which is not something someone could survive quite honestly.

-even if you weren’t embalmed, lots of the time you will still be given a kind of bath, just the way that is often conducted, I have a hard time believing they wouldn’t notice if you were still alive.

-even a direct burial takes a few days to process usually, so I feel like you’d probably have time to wake up before then

-I don’t know if any of this helps, I just really hope I can make yall understand that the chances of you being buried alive are very much not likely.

Once I get my mortuary degree, I'm telling all the homies Rest in Peace every night before bed

[womb-complex]

somebody explain the difference between mortuary science and funeral services because my state only offers the latter

Right so my BB fic is gonna be called First Face That I Saw (based on the bright eyes song) and here’s a little snippet

Ever since I was a child, and up to now, I’ve had an intense love of and empathy for stuffed animals. As an awkward and shy only child, they were my very best friends, and I fully ascribed feelings and souls to them, which I still kinda do today (how tf did my autism *not* get discovered sooner?? Did it really have to take 30 years?), I also sleep with a good number of them.

I’m a mortician (I’m dual-licensed as a funeral director and embalmer, but I’m a lab rat and exclusively keep to the back embalming the bodies), and along with embalming, I also dress and put people in their caskets. Very few things bother me about my work, I love it very much. I can deal with just about any disgusting form the aftermath of death takes, but my heart. Fucking. S h a t t e r s. When a stuffed animal is being buried with the deceased. I know it’s ridiculous, but I just can’t stop thinking of how lonely they’ll be, with their only companion dead and rotting, forever. I like to think the “spirit” of the stuffie moves on to a new vessel to be loved again to soothe these thoughts.

This lady I’m taking care of today is being buried with a stuffed calico cat (it’s one of those heating pad bean plushies you microwave). The cat is held in her folded hands, facing her.

My fucking heart. 💔

Trying to find a local funeral home to shadow/intern at and finding out that they're all owned by SCI 🫠🫠

Call me sappy, but seeing the carpet wear in front of the viewing side of a casket hit different today. Many people have visited their loved ones in this same spot, for many years, as will many more.

Yikes! Did you break AO3? jk. We all need our fuck boi Lexa fix.

I was truly going through it last night

I love fuck boi Lexa. She’s so sexy whether she’s slutting it up or following Clarke around like a lost puppy. And I’ve been having this thot about her recently that’s not really like sexy as much as it is funny to me at least. But it’s just the idea of her and Clarke sharing a bio lab class and having to dissect something and ofc, it doesn’t really matter what’s going on in class, if the teacher says pair off, Lexa immediately seeks Clarke out like hello??

But this time, for whatever reason (Clarke’s probably secretly upset with Lexa for being a whore or something), Clarke chooses to pair up with Finn and Lexa is not only distraught (bc wtf, she already wrote their names down on the paper together and that’s like legally binding in her eyes) but she’s also incredibly nervous.

See cuz while usually Lexa always picks Clarke as her lab partner for no other reason than she’s Clarke, Lexa really wanted to pair up with her for the dissection lab bc dissecting stuff makes Lexa wanna puke. Clarke’s always been good at handling stuff like that and Lexa was really hoping she’d take the lead on this one but now she’s paired up with some girl she doesn’t like who actually expects her to help identify the dead, formaldehyde-soaked creature’s spleen or something 🤢🤢🤢 Lexa is going to pass out like it’s inevitable at this point. She just hopes Clarke will nurse her back to health when she comes to

It seems to be deceased may have loved the color yellow or maybe a particular type of yellow flowers. The light glows flowers that hang and droops from the trees and/or branches around the casket. The light from the torchier seems to highlight all the different shade of yellow too.

Trying to find cute clothing that I can also wear to work is such a fucking nightmare, it should not be as hard to be cute and work in a funeral home 😭

It’s very interesting to me how, as time goes on and society is more exposed to death in general, we become more morbidly curious about it, and at the same time, people seem to cower more and more away from it. It’s just very curious I guess, seeing people trying to hide from death almost more so now.
