Embalming is not a job for the faint-hearted, but for Blaine Little and his colleagues, the satisfaction of giving people's loved ones another goodbye is a special part of a fulfilling career.
Bunbury embalmers share what it takes to prepare a dead human body for a viewing or funeral. Embalming is not a job for the faint-hearted, he said. But the satisfaction of giving people's loved ones another goodbye is a special part of a fulfilling career."Part of our training is restorative art, and I recently had a case where a person had some pretty bad facial trauma," Mr Little said.
Significant care is also given to the dead person's appearance, which includes hair washing, applying cosmetics, resetting features, and restoring the body after injury.She was at a family event at William Barrett & Sons funeral home in Busselton, 220 kilometres south of Perth, when she snuck away, exploring.
"I just wanted to know what they were used for and how they were used. It's always stuck in the back of my mind."Her daughter died at one month old. It triggered a curiosity into how her baby would be cared for. "I'm not scared of the case I'm working on; I'm there to do a job and treat that person with the love and respect they deserve."To become an embalmer in Australia, students must have an embalmer mentor, access to a mortuary and complete a Certificate IV in Embalming.Ian Warren, a Mortuary and Funeral Educators tutor, said students have to pay full fees as HECS does not cover the course.
