Tazzman Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - He could used one of those hoses with a plunger in the middle. This way he would not have had to get blood in his mouth!

Jul 7, 2008 - As a funeral directors wife, and someone who has watched the embalming process tons of times, I was completely appaulled at watching this video. How someone could think that they could do this at home, then paint the face is the most horrifying thing I've seen or make a joke about it. Leave this job to the professionals, there is a reason they went to school for this, its because they do a good job and deserve more credit for the job. What's next, at home cardiac transplants?

Jul 7, 2008 - As a funeral director/ "professional embalmer" myself I found this video, very darn funny. I couldn't help laughing as he sucked and spit out the blood, the windshield washer fluid about made me lose it completely. Good video, I enjoyed it, Thanks for the good, hard laugh, you need those in this profession sometimes, as for cherylp611, lighten up dear, its just a video, not the true technique, your a watcher, I preform the professional service, you have to laugh sometimes.

Jul 7, 2008 - I've never heard of doing embalming at home now days. Like they said before leave it too the professionals. Sucking blood out of a tube, how sick and not too mention the airborne pathenogens and other bacteria..Sick bastard...I thought what the XXck...Let a liscensed embalmer do it or have a closed casket (sealed to be up to date). Of course it cost money, what funeral service does not? Everyone pays for it sooner or later...

Jul 7, 2008 - these are actors people! i work with this guy - this is a joke! stop commenting like it's a surprise!

CClark89 Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - Okay!!! for a start, that is the woman who plays George's mother in Dead Like Me!!!Nextly, that AINT where you put the tube for embalming and draining the blood, its an incision made in the collar bone. THEN there is the fact that all of the bodily gasses would have made the torso expand and bloat were it not de-pressurised and drainedaside from that, odd video!=]

paikez Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - hahahaha the funniest video i ever seen, the guy suckin the blood, lol.by the way im embalmer.

ibrym Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - Hilarious, great funeral humor. I've actually had clients asked me if they could do it themselves.

tammyvrba Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - Anyone who couldn't tell this was a joke from the start needs to reassess their senes of humour. Lighten up...life's too short!

canneddoceparesmembr Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - although this can be funny but wtf these ppl think thier pops a fucking cassarole? siphoning blood what if the dead had a bloodborne pathageon? they could have used a electric siphon from a pump, lol

Ann4911 Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - Great JobCould not stop laughing!This is one of the funniest things I have seen in a long time. I think you may have to have some history in the funeral business to fully appreciate it. It's not easy profession to joke about. To the directors wife - Laugh A Little - I won't kill you and if it does I'm sure your husband will embalm you the "proper way". Lighten Up!
