Follow your heart while you're alive. Put perfume on your head, clothe yourself with fine linen....
Make a holiday and don't tire of it!

Seasonal changes

Seasonal changes really affect my line of work.  In between seasons we see temperature changes which seem to affect the elderly and infirm.  Its sad, its someones loved one they are having to say goodbye to.  We are there at their time of need and hopefully we provide a discrete and sensitive service. 

Today, I embalmed five people, one of whom had had a post mortem carried out.   The work involved in embalming someone who has had a post mortem is very different and requires a little more time and patience.  The results of the extra effort are rewarding and ensure their loved ones get the same chance of a goodbye as those of a person who has not had a post mortem.
