    When my mother was cremated, she had a pacemaker. It was given back to me. The University of Michigan wanted it. They sent me a FedEx envelope. I sent it to them. They recalibrate it, and gave it to someone else. It is very costly...22k. Someone who couldn't afford it got it for free! Wow! Amazing.

    Oh my! I’m on my second Pacemaker! I have Heart Failure of the Muscle! Second one has the defibrillator on it! That’s not right our insurance paid for that! I know they must be very expensive! The paperwork for my first one I guess it was because it was an emergency I was in Trauma all night then they had to get it in fast when they got me to the Heart Institute of the hospital because I was getting worse! That one without the price of the Pacemaker was over a Million $ The second one was over 300 Thousand! Thank God I have Medicare!

    I have to say that it constantly bewilders me the cost of treatment in the US - in this case, a pacemaker. No doubt Americans know that we pay through our taxes on earnings for any medical attention. It stops there. My neighbour had recently had a pacemaker installed, and the cost of that was zero. There would be follow-ups, and perhaps a replacement pacemaker installed at a later date. All that would also be zero in cost. I simply don't know how people cope financially, even with insurance.

    I worked in a funeral home for 8 years. Most deaths happen at the conclusion of a long and well lived life. There was only one funeral that really got me (still to this day when I think about it).It was a young mother whose children and husband spent about 90 minutes viewing her in the church after the funeral and they couldn't let go or say goodbye. All of their family and friends were waiting in the parking lot for the procession to the cemetery. There was a huge display of roses that said "MOMMY" on the ribbon. 😥 At another, a single father had died and his two young children and his parents walked up the aisle of a cathedral holding the casket. That was tough but instead of hiding the kids they let them participate and they'll always remember that they were there for their dad to the very end.

    My dad was a trucker and so am I. Dad loved trucking very much so after his cremation dads urn is here is this peterbilt truck because we have also ran team together (2 truckers one truck 24/7) as father and son. Dad was retired and our last lunch together was in a 2017 peterbilt where he said he wished he was still trucking down the road so in my heart I feel that he is loving trucking again. Call me sentimental but dad STILL has his own key because old truckers don't die they just downshift. His name is Eugene Vern Willison and he was one of the best with approximately 3 million miles. R.I.P. dad and please save me a parking stall at the truck stop in heaven. ❤

In between time her son wanted to see the body so we went. (I was there when she passed in the hospital) I thought after the service it would be real to me but it still isn’t. She was in the hospital on and off for 3 years so it feels the same at the house. I don’t think that I could watch this process it’s would be too hard. (My daughter had open heart surgery and a hip replacement, she had bots and plates where her pelvis was shattered)

We are in the process of deciding weather we will inter both my in-laws or wait. When my wife's grandad passed he left to 2 plots. My father in-law didn't do the paperwork to get them in his name. So my wife and I are. Most likely going to inter her parents and my wife and I (when we are cremated) next to them.@@gcchair7634

    My baby daughter who is married with four small children just graduated in November to be a funeral director Etc I came across these videos accidentally and decided to watch them even though I already knew what was going to happen I couldn't help myself she doesn't have a clue how proud I am of her because she washer and her mind that I expected her to be a nurse or something in the health field because I always was, nothing made me happier than to helped an elderly or sick person. I only wish I could truly make her understand how proud I am of her because I know this type of work cannot possibly be easy her grandpa, my dad died in our home I was up all night long with him and at the very end ran around the entire house waking everybody up so they could be with him at his last breath little did I know that when she grew up her mission in life was to make sure that the deceased received the decent and proper treatment she felt they and their family deserved. So I think we should all be thankful for these type of people that have the Inner Strength to do whatever it is they have to do to make that person's family feel better!

    I was in a four car freeway crash. A 26 year old mom died while I stood next to her. The moment she stopped breathing I felt such a calm loving warm sensation. The sky opened up and I felt angels with beautiful bright warm colors from the sky with a wonderful feeling of love. I have never felt that again and will always have the experience with me

    I lost my youngest son, 24, in 2018. He was to date, the first family member of our family (a BIG family) to ever be cremated. It was strange and it was of course devastating. But I want anyone to know that if you ever questioned this process or found yourself hesitant...It was the best decision I believe that we could have made. One thing I have realized as time has passed, is that I have my son with me at all times. Some of my closest family members, my mother, granddad, and grandma etc. are buried at a local cemetery where I live. At first visitation and personal familial care of the burial sites was of utmost priority. Now, few make it there any longer. I go when I am in town to see them and just inspect the burial site for damage or any needs that are required. But it was not long after losing my mom that I found myself standing there at her gravesite with nothing much to do or say. I knew she was not there, she was with the Lord, and in that I rejoiced! So what does one actually do during that visit? I can only speak for myself. In comparison having my baby boy in my living room. ANd some of his very personal things? just means so much more to me. and if I move? he comes with us. Just my thoughts on a difficult time in all of our lives but hope that something I said may help.

    Spirit World The postmortal spirit world is a place where the spirits of those who have died live before the Resurrection. The spirit world consists of paradise, where the righteous dwell, and spirit prison, where those who were wicked in mortality dwell. President Brigham Young taught that the postmortal spirit world is on the earth, around us (see Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Brigham Young [1997], 279). Spirit beings have the same bodily form as mortals except that the spirit body is in perfect form (see Ether 3:16). Spirits carry with them from earth their attitudes of devotion or antagonism toward things of righteousness (see Alma 34:34). They have the same appetites and desires that they had when they lived on earth. All spirits are in adult form. They were adults before their mortal existence, and they are in adult form after death, even if they die as infants or children (see Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Joseph F. Smith [1998], 131-32). The prophet Alma in the Book of Mormon taught about two divisions or states in the spirit world. Paradise. According to the prophet Alma, the righteous spirits rest from earthly care and sorrow. Nevertheless, they are occupied in doing the work of the Lord. President Joseph F. Smith saw in a vision that immediately after Jesus Christ was crucified, He visited the righteous in the spirit world. He appointed messengers, gave them power and authority, and commissioned them to “carry the light of the gospel to them that were in darkness, even to all the spirits of men” (Doctrine and Covenants 138:30). The Church is organized in the spirit world, and priesthood holders continue their responsibilities there (see Doctrine and Covenants 138:30). President Wilford Woodruff taught: “The same Priesthood exists on the other side of the veil. … Every Apostle, every Seventy, every Elder, etc., who has died in the faith as soon as he passes to the other side of the veil, enters into the work of the ministry” (Deseret News, Jan. 25, 1882, 818). Family relationships are also important. President Jedediah M. Grant, a counselor to Brigham Young, saw the spirit world and described to Heber C. Kimball the organization that exists there: “He said that the people he there saw were organized in family capacities. … He said, ‘When I looked at families, there was a deficiency in some, … for I saw families that would not be permitted to come and dwell together, because they had not honored their calling here’” (Deseret News, Dec. 10, 1856, 316-17). Spirit Prison. The Apostle Peter referred to the postmortal spirit world as a prison, which it is for some (see 1 Peter 3:18-20). In the spirit prison are the spirits of those who have not yet received the gospel of Jesus Christ. These spirits have agency and may be enticed by both good and evil. The spirits may progress as they learn gospel principles and live in accordance with them. The spirits in paradise can teach the spirits in prison (see Doctrine and Covenants 138). If they accept the gospel and the ordinances performed for them in the temples, they may leave the spirit prison and dwell in paradise. Also in the spirit prison are those who rejected the gospel after it was preached to them either on earth or in the spirit prison. These spirits suffer in a condition known as hell. They have removed themselves from the mercy of Jesus Christ, who said, “Behold, I, God, have suffered these things for all, that they might not suffer if they would repent; but if they would not repent they must suffer even as I; which suffering caused myself, even God, the greatest of all, to tremble because of pain, and to bleed at every pore, and to suffer both body and spirit” (Doctrine and Covenants 19:16-18). After suffering for their sins, they will be allowed, through the Atonement of Jesus Christ, to inherit the lowest degree of glory, which is the Telestial kingdom.

    I would like to think all funeral homes are as caring and professional as this one. We have to be diligent even with services such as these. A funeral home a few years back was found to have dumped the bodies in the woods behind the establishment instead of cremation as promised. The same shenanigans with a burial when a daughter went to visit her mother's grave, it was found open and the mother's body was missing. When we find a good service of any type, it would do everyone well to spread that good business's name for the peace of mind for all. And likewise for the bad ones. This is one of those good places. An ideal for all businesses to follow. Thank you for this.

You will never forget those moments, and they're all part of your son's story and life. I'm very sorry for your loss. It's heartbreaking to lose a child at any age. I had a similar opportunity to see the reality of things when my dad died (he wasn't cremated though). They allowed me to attend early as I wanted to be there alone with my dad and no other family members. NO MUSIC, NO HUGS, and they didn't even pose his hands. I saw a few gnats which I smushed into the lining of his coffin. They almost dropped the coffin when they slid it out of the mini van. I heard them struggling to lift it onto this metal thing. They rolled it into a room and tossed the American flag and flower blanket off to the side. I saw they breathing heavy and being winded from the effort. Granted they didn't know I was watching. But I loved that it was REAL. I will never forget it.

It was extremely pleasant, they had some large doors to drive in trucks for equine cremations and a huge refrigerator for the horses and other animals. It was gated but open to the outside and had very nice plants and other things around the yard. I expected a gloomy dank place but it was sunny and clean with a pleasant vibe. I’m glad I saw it.

    Is thier a good way to see 👀that cremation can be permanently banned and instead let's bury our loved-ones because God very strictly bans cremation and will punish those who choose cremation by not allowing thier bodies to be resseructed which means that those who choose to be cremated will be punished by being sent straight to the fiery depths of hell let's get law's put in place making cremation a felony meaning that those surviving family members will be punished by being sent to prison for violating and breaking laws by having thier loved-ones cremated, I myself want to see that cremation is made a criminal act and the law will force people to choose burial instead of being cremated and if I could have my way I would personally see to it that all crematorium's are permanently banned and closed down for good and by the way God does not condone cremation and he will punish those who choose to be cremated this is why thier are cemeteries to bury people and not cremate them which as it says in the Bible the person who is cremated is ineligible and will not be resseructed on resurrection day so find a way to permanently stop and ban cremation here in America and around the world.

    My mom was cremated and i regret not being there. I also could have seen her one last time while at the funeral home before her cremation. But my family put the pressure on me saying I was prolonging my grief and that why would I mentally want to put myself through it. I caved in to peer pressure and regret it to this day. I could have had one on one time with her one last time and I didn't. It makes me sad. I miss you Mom. Xo

    I have opted for my family to have my body cremated once I die! I really don’t care what my family does with my body. It was never me to begin with. I am a spirit created in GOD’s image. When I (spirit) leaves this earthly body, I (spirit) will be in heaven where GOD is! GOD has promised! A lot of people really don’t know who they really are. We are all spirit, with a soul and living in a physical body. You don’t need this body to be you, you need it because you live HERE!!! So, I couldn’t care what my family does with my body. Where I am going and where I will be, I won’t need it anyways! Peace.

I asked a question and the man in charge showed me the entire process including showing me one in process. It is only the shell of the person we knew. Even though the man demonstrating the process said he wouldn’t be cremated, I made up my mind then to be cremated myself. It was all very respectful.
