Martin. I’ve seen many videos on caring for the dead. I find your videos to be professional, yet very personal and grounded. The information provided is straight forward with no confusion. Coming from a small community growing up. A majority of my family and friends that passed, were taken care of by one couple. They have been providing service to the community for 45+ years. I have the highest respect and gratitude for the individuals that provide this necessary service. Personally, individuals in profession are compassionate and caring. Best regards, R

I was understood man being dressed by a man. Do men dress up the wemen to also I also thought that the clothing was cut up the back so all you have to do is lay on the body and tuck in the sides. When I had to send my mother's suit to the funeral home. They wanted a slip and a bra , I don't think they ask for shoes or knee hi's or anything like that. Her skirts were down to her ankles. She was a church mother. You do great work I hope my mom was treated with dignity like you did with the mannequin man body.

I didn’t think shoes were put on the deceased. They told us not to bring them when my parents died. I have the utmost respect for people in the mortuary business. It is something that needs to be done and not everyone is cut out for that type of work. I know I could never do it.

This is so respectful and I hope my loved ones were and are dressed like this, I’ve seen on other channels that people say they dressed the dead in big plastic bags under their clothes, and clothes are cut up the back, placed over the person and tucked underneath, I know they aren’t there anymore but it made me feel sad that they were in cold plastic bags and had no clothes on their backs, cold forever

What a priceless job. May God bless you.
