Licensed embalmer supervisor reviews
I am able to make up my own schedule and work around family time.
As with owning any business, income isn't consistent and there are days you don't have any calls which in turn your not making money.
Trade embalming is a difficult job, not one for the weak of stomach or week of back. A “trade embalmer must be proficient in all aspects of prep room procedures. A specialist if you will. Able to care fo the case that staff embalmer can not or will not treat. He must be able to restore to a life like appearance mutilated bodys due to either tramitic accident I defacing desease. He must deal with highly infectious diseases ie. HIV, Menengitas , Hepatitis, TB etc.. He must deal with extreem obicity , (Those 800 pounders do come along). He must be ready to answer a call 24hrs. a day. And, oh yea, I have been a trade embalmer since 1971, and have embalmed well over 30,000 human body’s as well as a few cats and dogs. Even One rabbit. Rewards? It’s when a grieving family says “ she looks so beautiful”, when viewing the remains of their 19 year old daughter who had spent 12 days in the trunk of a car in the heat of summer as I have done.
The hours are bad , and the pay is not equivalent to the skill and devotion required. But it has provided me a comfortable living for 58 years.
