091: Life and Death w/Stiffy The Mortician

We all have to deal with death someday, our guest this week deals with it daily for a living. Stiffy The Moritician joins Nathan and B.R for an anonymous, humorous and very honest discussion on the funeral industry, the risk of being scammed while grieving, family run versus corporate funeral homes, the education that goes into becoming a mortician and funeral director, the car salesman tactics and a detailed description of the options of embalming, cremation and the ‘green option’ of aquamation (alkaline hydrolysis). The lads also get into medically assisted dying, how humane retirement homes actually are, the extreme risks of cremating morbidly obese people, the many variables of picking up a person from where they died, the not all too rare situation of people not reporting a dead relative for days out of shock, the lack of support for morticians when the job weighs on them, working around funeral regulations during the pand*mic years for families and much, much more! *CONTENT WARNING* NOT FOR THE SQUEAMISH OR THOSE SENSITIVE TO THE TOPIC OF DEATH* Links mentioned in this episode:  You can reach out to our guest with questions about the funeral industry at the email below: [email protected] ⁠ Check out our Patreon here to support what we do and get insider perks! ⁠                                                           Follow the lads on IG:     ⁠ https://www.instagram.com/cbrnart/?hl=en ⁠  ⁠https://www.instagram.com/br.the.anarch/?hl=en⁠ Check out our sponsors:                                            Use code: ARTANDWAR10 for $10 off an SMU Belt at ⁠AWSin.com⁠⁠ Check out our new sponsor OTTE Gear.com!⁠ ⁠Check out our link tree for the rest of our stuff!
