Mortuary Worker & Death Blogger
Hello everyone! Wow what a time it has been, I am always reminded to not apologise for any gaps in posting as I should not feel that way but I can’t help it. I, once again, am bound by myself to say I’m sorry it has been a long break since my last post. If... Continue Reading →
My oh my, it’s highly cliche and pathetic of me to state but it is ridiculously hot while I am writing this. In fact it has been so hot the last couple of days that I was told one point a part on the roof of the hospital reached 40 degrees centigrade. Britain is not... Continue Reading →
It’s true, shrouds do not have pockets. I heard this proverbial saying this week while my other half was binge watching Shameless and it hit me as not only true, but also annoying. What if shrouds did have pockets? I mean, it’s not as if you could fit much in there but it would be... Continue Reading →
As promised, here I am back in July to start again with my posts. I am pleased to write that I have been looking forward to doing this yet again and I feel much better than I did when I decided to take the break. The anxiety is still there, brimming under the surface of... Continue Reading →

Still I continue to be blissfully unaware of whatever day it is, as if my new rota wasn’t enough to put me off now they throw a Bank Holiday Friday into the mix and I’m completely lost. Today is a very Mondayish apparently Sunday while I have been at work, the only things really giving... Continue Reading →
We live in some very strange times at the moment. For the majority of people life has completely changed even just from the basics of their daily routine. I’m being asked so often about how much my work has changed and what impact the pandemic has had. So many thoughtful and lovely gifts received by... Continue Reading →
Thought I’d rock a face mask this week as they seem all the rage recently. Well that and my job often requires that I do. I think it looks a bit like a beak, but there you go. What a fetching get up! Apologies for no cleaning instalment this week, it’s been quite a stressful... Continue Reading →
A huge misconception around mortuary work is that we do makeup and embalming. Some mortuary technicians do but they work at funeral directors or independently and it’s a lot more complicated than it sounds. I would love to learn how to do these things but they are very different to my day to day activities.... Continue Reading →
