    Yeah, my friend had trained as a mortician, so they’d embalmed people on donated bodies, so it was like “giving back.” Just check the web pages of your local med school. Personally, I’m thinking of doing one of those “natural burials” where they don’t embalm or cremate, just stick me in the earth and plant a tree overhead.

      My best friend also did embalming. It’s weird being their friends. Haha. But I’d be devastated if I lost him, I can’t even think about it. I love that your friend gave back like that ♥️
