My best friend also did embalming. It’s weird being their friends. Haha. But I’d be devastated if I lost him, I can’t even think about it. I love that your friend gave back like that ♥️
Funny thing is, my friend was worried that they wouldn’t be able to handle embalming. They’d been around death when they worked at a hospital, but they hadn’t cut anyone up before. The evening right after their first embalming session they were all wide-eyed and hyped, saying: “I did it!” They were so excited. They smelled slightly of formaldehyde.
Similar scenario with my buddy. He was a Baptist preacher from the time he was old enough to be told by his family what he would be doing with his life, up until he was about 25ish when he left that. He had done funerals and been there to comfort families who had lost someone, but he was very nervous about actually doing the cutting up and such. He told me all about it excitedly when he had finally done it.
Details I absolutely did not need haha
