Oh, this is good. So good! If you share a fascination for #graveyards, #mortuary culture, and the "story" part in #history, this will be your thing. Both actually, book and play, highly recommended! 🏺👍

Mortuary table inside an old chapel of rest, Germany
-
🏥 The old mortuary at North Staffordshire Hospital, Stoke-On-Trent, Staffordshire. Demolished 2021.
The morgue is in a separate building, attached to the pathology and hematology labs. Three large mortuary slabs and two dissection tables are overlooked by a shielded viewing area. There are several old-style body storage fridges, as well as larger, more modern “walk-in” varieties.

A disused 1920s crematorium, in Romania. Its design blends classical planning with early modernist and Art Deco influences.
Eastern Orthodox belief, which rejects cremation in favour of burial, shaped funerary customs in early 20th-century Romania. Even today, cremation remains rare in Romania, accounting for less than one percent of funerals.

An abandoned mortuary in Germany. Bodies were stored in the basement, in an orange-tiled room. Bodies were transported by a mechanical gurney system that runs down the center of the stairs. Upstairs there is a chapel of rest, where body viewings would take place, and an attached chapel where services were conducted before burial.

My final set of photos from this abandoned hospital. Quite fittingly are the morgue!
🏥 North Staffordshire Hospital, Stoke-On-Trent, Staffordshire. Demolished 2021.
The state of decay in the morgue indicates it was abandoned before other areas of the hospital. Three large mortuary slabs and two dissection tables are overlooked by a shielded viewing area. There are several old-style body storage fridges.

Yes. Yes, you should bring pants.
Just because a casket lid is usually closed on the foot end doesn’t mean you can’t see or that nosy people won’t poke around and look. Also, think about how embarrassing it’ll be for your loved one as they attend ghost parties with no bottoms. Shameful.
On that note, there are no requirement about what dead people have to wear in their caskets. You want to be dressed in a suit? Fine. Pajamas? That’s okay too. Superhero costume? You do you! All we ask is that it fits reasonably well (though we can improvise with a few alterations) and that it covers anything that needs covering (autopsy incision, trauma etc). When in doubt, go for something long sleeved and high necked. Make your wishes known to your family!

Anybody else remember this? About 10 years ago, J&D Foods offered this magnificent tribute to bacon lovers.
Known for their bacon flavored salt, soda, mayonnaise, lip balm, and lube (yes, lube), J&D commissioned an 18 gauge steel casket with a bacon themed design.
For the low, low price of $3000, you can get your own pork-wrapped forever box, AND they’ll even throw in a bacon scented air freshener! Yum 🥓

#WordyWednesday: Reefer (no, not that kind) ❄️
AKA Cooler or Refrigerator
If a body needs to be held for a period of time and isn’t embalmed, it must be refrigerated to prevent decomposition. I mean, we’re going to decompose eventually, but the process needs to be paused for sanitation and funeral/viewing reasons.
Depending on the location, a mortuary might have a 1-2 person cooling chamber, or maybe a mid-size walk-in cooler with shelving or rolling tables. Some high volume facilities have larger capacities (40-50ish). Emergency situations like mass fatality disasters or hmmm, let’s see… pandemics! can necessitate the use of refrigerated truck trailers. They’re basically the same ones that keep your groceries fresh during transit and are referred to as reefers.
By the way, these are NOT freezers. The temperature is maintained between 36-39°F (that’s 2-4°C for you non-USians). This slows decomposition down to a crawl without creating ice crystals that damage tissues.

#WordyWednesday: Catafalque (yeah, I know I’m posting this a day late, but it was the cat-a-fault 👀 see what I did there? Anyways, kittens!)
A catafalque (pronounced CATTA-falk) is the fancy stand a casket rest on during a viewing or funeral. They’re usually constructed from wood and have wheels concealed beneath them so we can push caskets to different areas of the mortuary.
Catafalques can be simple or ornate, and are sometimes concealed behind a fabric drape. They’re also known as biers (pronounced beers), and are not to be confused with church trucks (those are the wheeled metal stands that fold up like an accordion).
