The Reality of Mortality | Ask A Mortician Featurette
I was first introduced to the death positive movement when I started questioning the issues with modern embalming... Alright, that's a lie.. My first impression of the death positive movement, and probably the most famous mortician, Caitlin Doughty, came rather unexpectedly. As with most Youtube channel discoveries, it came at 4am one morning, and I was completely fascinated by her responses to "insidery death questions." The first video I watched of hers was an explanation of the different ways to close the mouths of corpses...Needle injectors and hand stitching are the mainstream ways to do so, in case that question was burning through your dura mater. I don't know what fascinates me more: the comedy of trying to ease someone into the finality of morality..or her historical penis factoid collection. It's a tossup! In all honesty, Caitlin's videos have given me a lot to think about. Who else walks through Walmart at 5...
