Any embalmers around?

Everything that you wanted to know can be found on this link.  I learned something new as well.  Funeral directors also are called morticians or undertakers.  And they do the embalming.\n\nThis link has the average wage - what the typical work hours are like, what the job qualifications are, and what the job outlook is like, along with related occupations and links to other sites that may help answer other questions you may have.\n\nBest of luck!  \n\nhttp://www.collegegrad.com/careers/manag13.shtml

I would think it would depend on whether there is going to be a viewing or not and whether they are being cremated or burried.  When I die, I definitely do NOT want to be embalmed and I will also be cremated, thx.

Different states have different laws on this issue.  Your remains will be cremated after they are used as teaching tools for up and coming doctors.  It's fascinating!  The people I have known who did donate themselves were very sick; many surgeries and disease processes that will educate others.  It doesn't cost anything where we live and they come to get the body once that person has passed on.  They are very respectful.  Most folks have a memorial ceremony because they really don't have a time schedule on the use of the cadavar.  You can call the state you're in to find out more; or even call a hospice facility about body donation and they give you more detailed information.  Godloveya.

Try here. They carry a large line of fake but very realistic bones and skeletons. Not cheap though.\n\nhttp://www.ctvalleybio.com\n\n.

It can take tens of years for this to happen.  I have disinterred a man that had been dead for 70 years and was perfect, they had another viewing for him!!  It all depends on the the embalming, the casket, vault, soil, climate and many other things.  There is no defintive answer, and no one can say how long it will take, because every body is different.

My grandmother donated her body to Emory University/ Medical School when she died.  I'm not sure how she did it, but I'm sure that if you contact a medical school, they'd love to take you:)

Did you think the garbage men would take away your dead relatives?\n\nYou can get way cheaper than that, but if you want anything fancy you have to pay. A "green" burial in a biodegradable coffin would be much cheaper; minimize fuss like flowers and so on and it's less still. But what sort of send-off did you want to give your loved ones? And didn't they leave any capital with which to pay for their own funeral?

My Dad....it's ok for you to ask...I still can't believe he passed away. I went back to Germany with my family, but when we got there I wasn't able to see him anymore, because prior to my arrival at the morgue, the funeral or morgue  personnel already closed his coffin. I wanted to remember him alive anyway, so I'm actually glad I didn't see him dead. I still feel like he's still in Germany, I just don't see him like before, because of the distance. My dad also lost two kids prior to his passing- a baby (through sids) and 16 years later my younger brother (suicide)...so he experienced what you went through: the loss of a child. He was very heart broken about my brother's passing and never fully recovered. \n        My condolences for your losses. God bless.

According to the Federal Trade Commission, no state can mandate embalming, therefore there are no state laws anywhere that require embalming of a dead human body, unless there is to be a public visitation or if there isn't refridgeration available until the cremation can take place, only then is embalming required.

I do not have any information, however, let me say I am sorry for your loss. Good luck with your search for information, I hope you are able to get the information you are requesting. God bless

many universities accept body donations, but there is often a fee associated with the pick-up, cremation, etc.  The best site I've found (and the one with which I signed up) is http://www.anatomicgift.com/ - fill out an address  form and they will send you more information by mail
