I apologize in advance for the quality, I was recording them on my phone even though we weren’t supposed to so I had to do it sneakily.. The heavy decomp case is a guy who was in the river for 1 month and the mother was denied seeing him by police and the coroner. Finally the funeral home agreed to do the restoration for her and he was injected with a strong arterial solution as well as surface embalming compresses. Then his face was completely sealed with a type of hardware store sealant (it was French lecture and I don’t know what it is in English) and then his face was built on top of his existing features using photograph! That one is exclusive as it is directly from that funeral home. The lady with the triangle cut in her face was from embalming textbook Meyer’s, unsure which edition. The man’s face is also exclusive from funeral home and depicts a man who had a tumor in his eye. They injected him arterially first to firm the tissues and then excise the eyelid removing the mass. Then the remaining eyelid is glued to eye cap and then replaced onto the eye. Then, using hard wax, the embalmer works with a heat gun to soften the wax and creates fine lines with suture needle. Lastly, the lady showing puffed eye, he shows technique of removing fluids and eventually uses tissue reducer (like hot iron) and Vaseline to heat the skin, shrinking it back to normal shape! I’m sharing it here and put watermark on it because I’d prefer it is known I only uploaded it here! (Sorry for English) Happy I can contribute something, and there were more interesting slides but I was disrupted several times during lecture to make arrangements and was not able to capture more..

I have excised three tumours in my career and used to have before and after on my cellphone but I have since changed phones and lost them :

Thanks for this! Something I am curious about... How do they have a viewing for a body that is so badly decomposed? Wouldn't it smell? Is there something special the funeral home can do to mitigate that?

They did really amazing work on him. I hope seeing him fixed up helped his mom's grieving process.
