If a class was about the anatomy and musculature of the leg for instance, we would have to cut the legs off of the cadavers, so they could concentrate on that. Yes...we had a parts freezer. Hands, legs, feet, heads, etc. And yes, I cut them up. Stanley circular saws and rubber aprons. But remember, they are dead and embalmed. So no real blood - just various fluids. Did it part time during summers and school breaks. Not sure I would want to do it at my age now.

Probably sounds weird, but I am so jealous. I would love to do that. You did it during school breaks? I thought you (I mean anyone who does that type of work) has to have some kind of knowledge, degree or whatever to do work like that.

I mean, if I went to my local undertakers and asked if I could help them prep bodies would they have me arrested, would they laugh at me, or would they just stare at me like I was insane?
I'd love to work in a mortuary.

If you are a borderline asshole, no, a full blown asshole, what do you expect. To be honest you can kiss my ass, if you were't close to your dad, that's your problem. Some people have a decent relationship with their parents.

By the way, who said anything about threats ?

Hell, you can't be that old. I get what you are saying though. Ever have a trocar button dislodge ?

You need certs and such to work in a funeral home. We just processed bodies. No license needed. The director of the department was a doctor of course, but we just did the grunt work, so to speak.

Bill, I'm old enough (47) to be impacted by the implications of what I would be doing. Frankly, its easier to be callous and unfeeling when you are 18. At my age now, I don't think I'd want to do it - too much emotional energy.
As to the trocar (nice reference by the way) - we didn't use them. Generally, the trocar is used for pressure release, or quick connections. We just stuck a large gauge needle into the femoral on the inner thigh, and pumped them full of pickle juice (formalin, formaldahyde, ethyl alcohol, and something else I can't remember).

47 ? That's not old, to me anyway. as many people as I bury in a yea's time, it made me realize we are not old til we get into our 80s.

You did not use trocar buttons at all ? Hmmmm. You have me curious now. Ah, nobody does it exactly the same I guess. I remember when this one guy asked if I would use him to help dig graves, and I said it depends.

He asked what it depended on, so instead of tell him, I showed him. We went in to give a hand to the embalmer, and when they stuck the trocar in next to the vavel, and then ruptured and drained the stomach contents and other organs, he ran outside and puked.

I told him he would not be able to handle it, but he insisted, so I let him help on a couple of graves. The test came when it was time for an exhumation. He got sick and would not talk to me for 3 days. I tried to tell him.

See the black liquid on the ground just under the grave vault ?

You guys use the trocar to relieve internal pressure of the corpse, I assume? My guess is that we didn't deal with that issue because we embalmed people very shortly after death, and then they immediately went into the freezers or directly to the classrooms. We had some donors come in directly from the hospitals, with their clothes still on and still slightly warm. We used to wait to make sure those got cold. You always hear about freak things where people wake up in a morgue or similar. Better to wait, and make sure they were dead.
