Being a mortician is just casually dropping the wildest sentences in everyday conversation. #mortician #darkhumor #relatablecontent #fyp #funeralbabe #joke #iykyk
People often ask: “Can it be an open casket?” And although most of the time it can be, the truth is… sometimes, we don’t know until we try. Every case is different. Sometimes we’re met with complex post-mortem challenges like traumatic injury, decomposition, visible illness like cancer or jaundice, surgical changes, or anatomical damage that require partial or even full facial reconstruction. These conditions aren’t just cosmetic — they affect how we embalm, restore, and prepare someone for viewing. It can take hours (or days) of skilled work, specialized materials, and deep emotional sensitivity to even attempt a natural appearance.. It’s not always easy to explain, and it is even harder to predict. But behind every decision is a funeral professional doing everything they can to give a family one last moment of peace, one last goodbye… and that matters! #education #dyk #casket #funeral #viewing #art
Grief doesn’t only happen when someone dies. Sometimes it happens when they change… and never come back. This kind of grief is quiet, but it’s real. And you’re not alone. #grief #healing #MentalHealth #toxicrelationship #griefjourney #emotionalgrowth
You don’t get to fall apart when you’re the one holding everyone else together. So you learn to be steady. Silent. Strong. Not because you’re okay— but because there’s never room for you to not be. And before you even realize it, your grief gets filed away like paperwork—boxed up and buried under someone else’s emergency. Still breathing. Still helping. Still disappearing. But even the ones who hold it all need somewhere to land. So if this feels familiar— I hope you give yourself what you so freely give to others. Care. Compassion. Space to feel. You don’t have to earn rest. You already do enough. #imfine #staystrong #relatable #fyp
To every funeral director who sees themselves in this… You’re not just showing up to work. You’re stepping into the eye of someone’s storm— standing still in the chaos, holding space when everything else is falling apart. And somehow, after witnessing the rawest kind of human pain, you’re expected to slip back into the ordinary. To answer texts. To do the dishes. To keep breathing like your soul didn’t just absorb the weight of someone else’s goodbye. But here’s the truth: The world needs hearts like yours— the ones that ache and still keep showing up. The ones that carry grief not as a burden, but as proof of love. The ones who understand that death isn’t just an ending, but a teacher. You are a witness to what most people run from. And because of that, you see life with a clarity few ever will. So if today felt heavy—if the grief lingered longer than you expected— let this be your reminder: You’re doing sacred work. You are allowed to feel it. You are allowed to be changed by it. And most of all, you are not alone. #funeral #funeraldirector #mortician #career #advice #minority
For those unfamiliar: a Reeves stretcher (also known as a flexible or soft stretcher) is a lightweight, foldable transfer device commonly used during house calls, removals from tight spaces, or multi-level buildings where a full-size mortuary cot won’t fit. It’s made of durable, reinforced material with multiple handholds, allowing for a secure two person lift. its especially helpful in homes with narrow stairwells or tight corners! Me? I’ve got the collapsible lawn chair of stretchers. 😅 #humor #lift #transfer #reeves #mortician #education
Funeral directors rotate being “on call” after hours — meaning when someone dies at night, they’re the one answering every call, message, and making arrangements. It’s one of the most tolling parts of the job. Shout out to whoever is on call tonight!! (It’s not me 😜) #oncall #notmyproblem #humor #education
There’s nothing wrong with being someone who feels it all. The grief. The joy. The ache. The magic. Not everyone will understand, but the right people will recognize it in you, because they’ve carried it too. Keep feeling. Keep healing. Keep going. #MentalHealth #HealingJourney #vulnerability #grief #selflove
We don’t realize how sacred now is… until it’s gone. Not because everything was perfect. But because we were still becoming. Still trying. Still loving people while we had the chance. Don’t wait to miss it. Breathe it in. Live like it matters. #voiceover ##lifelesson#grief #n#nostalgiafyp #inspiration
This is for the ones still healing. For the ones pretending they’re fine. For the ones judging themselves for not being further along. You don’t need to have it all together. You just need to keep going. - From someone who sees what really matters at the end. #lifelessons #griefsupport #mentalhealthmatters #HealingJourney#selfcompassion #youarenotalone #legacy
