CW: Explanation of mouth formers (embalming supplies)
#WordyWednesday: Mouth Former
A thin piece of shaped plastic used to recreate the proper contour of a mouth in the event of missing teeth/dentures or other disfiguration. The plastic lays against the gums and beneath the closed lips. They can be trimmed for a better fit.
Note the little raised triangle perforations: those are to lightly snag the tissue inside the lips and hold everything in place. The tiny round holes are for strings or wires to pass through and secure the jaws together.
Sometimes dentures are provided by the family, but if they haven't been worn in a long time, they often don't fit well. Mouth formers are more forgiving. Other times dentures are brought in *after* the mouth has already been closed. Those dentures usually end up inside the foot of the casket or under the casket pillow.

@HisAndHearsePress
After I die and the organ harvesters and medical students are done with me, what is the most efficient method of making my body harmless and not in anyone's way?

It’s been a minute since I’ve been active on social media. I think I ended up in LaLaLand for a bit after the holidays and never made it back into a routine. The longer I stayed away, the harder it was to jump back in!
Help me get back on track: tell me what you’d like to learn about this year. What are your biggest funeral/death related questions?
