Both. Also, I've been to viewings in Japan too, and they do it much better there than in the U.S.

Some of the most impressive open casket photos I've seen come from countries where they don't embalm.

Etsu, you seem to be really knowledgeable about embalming and reference some work you've done. Do you work in the funeral industry?

Yes. My family own a funeral home. I graduated from a mortuary school and did a lot of embalming but was not into the whole funeral directing stuff because selling caskets and dealing with families is not my thing. I also did anatomical embalming for a donor program which is very different then regular embalming. When you have families telling you what a wonderful job you did and how good their loved ones look, it's one of the most rewarding feelings in the world. So, death has always been a part of my life. I've turned a 13 years old girl jaundice before, it was a nightmare.

What's it like growing up surrounded by death?

Also, do you mean you embalmed a jaundiced 13 year old girl, or you turned her jaundice? How do you do that if it was an accident, and what happened in that case? I can't imagine what a nightmare that would be...

Feature builder (dodge) usually used to fill out sunken areas in peoples faces, ie temples, eye sockets. Usually emaciated cases. Not so much for lips though, as you say. Moisturised cotton wool, along with gentle massage during injection should be enough.

She does look like she is just closing her eyes and visualizing what someone is happily describing.

Not to bust your balls or anything about your positive comment but, I would rather she can get to live again, along with all of us after we all die..

I suppose it depends on the angle. From the side it does look like she is in very deep sleep.

I agree with what you said Kel007, I wanted to mention that her sister got the worse surprise for her birthday.

I also wanted to say Thank you Anubis Fetish for this thread!! It made me feel extremely sad when, I saw the picture in which her father didn't want to accept that she was gone, and was destroyed about the fact.

Never have I once seen anyone using "filler" on lips and I've handled literally over 1000 within the span of one year. Either the lips were already big like that, they were swollen because of some other factor (bruising/pre mortem fluid I.e hospital), or simply too much fluid was sent into the face.
