Not nearly as creepy as it would be. Like a big laundry room with a big folding table.A drag Queen's dream when it came to cosmetics.

I wish saved my Lego building of the Cockfield Funeral Home on 8-Mile Rd.we used to pass by, and viewed a lamp in an upstairs visitation room with a circular fluorescent light in there, which would be the only light on in the otherwise dark building, seeing as the place was closed at the time when we drove by it...

It's now an auto parts shop (boasting an upstairs) as my Lego structure must have turned into some other type of business (road house, restaurant, gas station or bar?) related to my Matchbox/Hot Wheels/Pocket Cars and the many odd-makes of...

Is the shower in the background for the living, or the un-living?

That’s for washing the body during the preparation process. You can also see there that motor at the left of the big sink basin. That gets attached to a large needle like instrument via a rubber hose, and this gets poked into your gut and they stab it around and jab all of your organs with it to suck out all the various liquids... cavity aspiration it’s called. To me the most freakish part of the embalming I think. I’m more disturbed by autopsies I think.
I've considered becoming a mortician...kind of the next step after being an RN for so long....and the patients don't talk back, they don't hit, kick, spit, fight, they don't sue, and no matter what, you can't kill them!
That first "like" is from Me!
The only time I've been in an embalming room was when a neighbor of ours was buying a used Chevette from a funeral home which the deceased person probably had no heir to give the car to....
I sat in the front seat as she drove it around in the vast and surprisingly empty parking lot, (with the sound of a "Rod knocking" coming through one the right rear quarter panel, and it had such a tiny glove box I briefly opened) as there were supposedly no services at that time, that day, and got a first hand look at what that funeral home was like before low and behold there would afterwards funerals of people thereI had attended...
So my mom told me how the embalming procedure operates, and even told me long ago the undertaker as was termed back then before ofwhich we refer to as funeral director all the time I'd been alive actually comes to your house and embalms the dead right in your living room...
I simultaneously was also surprised that this being a Jewish funeral home even had an embalming room, as I learned Jews don't embalm the bodies...
Well, the young lass replacing her 1970 2-door Chevy Nova which replaced a 1960's Ford station wagon that was her first car which we had fun putting wood-grained contact paper on, didn't buy it, she settled for a former-teacher's Plymouth Volaré then getting her father's slightly olderAMC Hornet station wagon, before a sickly green Ford LTD II wagon came after that, and luckily to save us from derailing our topic even further, forgot everything else!

Greg,
I've seen a cadaver kick actually. My high school pal's dad was a mortician. He took me to tour the embalming room of thier family owned funeral home. Often nerves can still react a while after death because of dormant if only weak muscle flex before rigamordis sets in. I considered it as an occupation as well in high school.
It takes a person similar to a nurse or doctor to do it, as well as needing to be able to console the deceased loved ones. His dad also directed funerals. Most do.

So how did the paint job turn out?
I can't imagine I would want a room I work in to be orange like that. I would like the cabinets to be much lighter. And really, why vinyl tiles that will get bumpy and start coming up? Sheet vinyl, epoxy, acid washed concrete are what I would want. Dr. G., on her show, designed a new morgue. It had a terrazzo surface that included old beer bottles, she said the floor was the best part of the new facility.

orange walls are definitely scary
The Spray Can cosmetics reminds me of Bruce Willis' Mortician Makeup of choice in Death Becomes Her
I was thinking the same thing!
Orange....is this the new color, or the old?
judging by the pics, looks like it needs a new paint job...
I guess you could say it matches the rust on the washer...

No thanks.
And, I think when it's my turn, I'll opt for cremation.

It might also match Trump's bronzer...

Why waste Fancy Neon Orange Paint on a room or lab strictly for undertaking the dead? Just cinder blocks in off-white will do, and be sure to have plenty of air conditioning that actually REFRIGERATES!
