Crow Scrubs

Hi there! Im a second year Mortuary student on a four year path! I made this Tumblr to dispell some veils over the Mortuary life. Do you have questions about Death or being a Mortician? Ill be glad to answer! ♡

Cremation lineup? You do your largest weight individual cremations first incase you need to start with a cold oven. Putting in a large individual in a hot oven can cause grease fires. Then your regular cremations, then your casket cremations at the end because they need to cool after.

Make sure you thank your vault guy when you see them next. They work HARD to make sure your grave side service goes beautifully

Did you know Outer Burial Containers are not required by law? Many cemeteries require them because they keep the ground from sinking in preventing safety issues!

Did you know embalming is not required by law? Some funeral homes require embalming for viewing purposes but there are other alternatives available. Refrigeration and Green Burial Council approved preparations exist as alternatives and can keep a body viewing safe for up to 3 weeks! There's also Green Burial Council approved embalming fluids too!
