Replying to @Amanda Brown ♥️ dad had more he wanted to say. I wonder if because he requested to be buried in soil vs the Vatican, people think burial in soil = unembalmed? The news source I’ve come across states his body was prepared by Thanatoproxy (their version of embalming). If you do know the source, please let me know! Or DM me the article! I’m not saying anyone is wrong. This is just the information I’ve gathered from news sources. #popefrancis #pope #funeral #learning
Replying to @Theelliottsatx it comes with the job. You do get used to it after the first couple minutes. Back at the funeral home, I wear my respirator if I’m having a really hard time with decomp though…I did that a lot while pregnant. #bodyodor #funeralhome
Her funeral was held at her Ukrainian church. Sometimes the family chooses to open the casket at the cemetery, but the wind was so strong, they decided to keep her casket closed. I love the ritual of throwing flowers on top and singing at the grave. R.I.P. Pavlina
