What Happens to Your Body the First Year in a Casket Will SHOCK You - Funeral Director Reacts

What happens to your body the first year in a casket? A widow phoned me at home one evening and asked me that, one year to the day after we buried her husband. After 39 years running my family's funeral home in Pennsylvania, about 7,000 funerals, I owe you the honest answer, told plainly and gently. In this video, I take you from the first month to the day she called: what they do to Vladimir Lenin every other year to keep him looking like himself, why mold is the likeliest thing growing on an embalmed body by month three, whether the worms really get you, why the ground over a grave starts sinking by month six, why a nun in Missouri was still largely whole four years after she was buried with no embalming, and the outlaw in a California funhouse whose arm snapped off in front of a television crew, 65 years after he was shot. Most of all, I explain what the FTC Funeral Rule says a funeral home can't claim about embalming and caskets, what you're really paying for when you choose embalming, and the five things to do at the table before you pay for any of it. #FuneralDirector #Embalming #FuneralPlanning #EndOfLifePlanning
