Kat: Guys, this is a family friend, Mr. Finster. Heart: but, Kat....he's an undertaker. Why are you hanging out with an undertaker at a funeral home? Man: Maybe she likes my chocolate milk shakes. Kat: It's true. He does make em good.
Embalming (in most jurisdictions) is optional. A cremation can still include an embalming, if there will be a viewing. Personally, I have never ‘warmed up’ to the idea of cremation. ;o)It’s not as environmentally friendly, either.
if I die from cancer or my parts can’t be harvested to help someone else I want my body donated to science so that some med student can have the extra practice.
By “modern”, do you mean less than 20 years? Because that is when my dad was embalmed and he was intact, as I mentioned last night. Maybe in Canada, we don’t try to take everything to make money. I don’t know.

Used to have a casket maker on my bowling team, good money. It still leaves people standoffish, just our culture I suppose…

sometimes, after a hard day of preparing stiffs for planting, he even washes his hands before making those chocolate shakes

So the question is being pickled or early dusting.

Monkeyhead: Absolutely. If all else fails, and even med schools are getting picky, try “body farms”, at least the forensic data will be useful.

TCL, as I posted last night, don’t take eveything you read as gospel truth. Whatever goes on in gmartins part of the world goes on everywhere.

So Kat was getting milkshakes without inviting her friends? Uncool.
