Lol

Omfg that just killed me 🤣

He said that line literally right after I finished reading this 😂

LMAO

LMFAO

I mean, corpse stealing is a huge way in which medical breakthroughs were made in the past and how we took steps to better understand the human body... which is what, in turn, allowed us to move toward modern medicine. It was a necessary evil at times when there are no body donations (as was the case very often in the past due to religious beliefs). Things are very different now, but it's still easy believe that he'd understand the importance as a mortician.

Makes sense that he has thought about the morals of being a mortician more than the morals of stealing corpses

Yeah, priorities lol

One make him and his profession look bad. The other just makes the thieves look bad.

When you recognize that one person that's already dead may have the potential to save thousands of living people, it's not really a hard moral choice to make, lol.

The fact that this just made me laugh out loud literally is awesome.

Hilarious omg

the like count being 911 its just the icing on the cake for this comment

I thought he would mention the slide board

Oh man, something like this literally happened with my late father, except it was out the back door of the morgue.

At least I'm not the only one who walks through graveyards. They are so comforting. Don't ask me why 🤷

@@internal.inferno2088 possibly deep down we know that the ground has been consecrated for eternal and peaceful rest. We know that, even if for only a little while, people come to visit, express their missing us. Many cultures still visit the departed loved once a year with food and song, picnics, children laughing and playing among the stones. For many, this is a comfort that even though our shells are shed, there is still something left to participate with the ones left behind. I also firmly believe that evil can not reside there for the aforementioned reasons. Just my thought on why I enjoy that splendid peace of land.

That sounds so freaking cool, I would love to see that.

I would want that for my tombstone if possible lol

That is so creepy, because it's true😟😟😮

That's Victor M. Sweeny, don't forget the M.

He's a Great Scientist, extremely dedicated, professional, smart, also funny. SAVAGE

This mans professionalism is the peak of what his job entails.

the fact that he wish other funeral directors wouldnt call embalming device other names like the movie kissed did, pretty much shows of how professional and respectable funeral director he is. hes amazing.

You have to be careful with the pressure, no second chances. interesting director

@@icmull might wanna rethink that.

This is so beautiful 🥺😭 I'm so sorry for your tremendous loss 💔

Yeah frl

Just yeeted out of the window and use it as a Halloween decoration

Came here to say this exact thing. Sweeney is great.

He doesn't condone, but he does understand.

The mention of 'authorized' persons is one of the most heartbreaking things about a death. Suddenly your loved one becomes the property of the government in a way. You can't dress them, wash them, dig a hole and bury them in their favorite spot even if you own the land. They aren't yours anymore. I considered it to be a great privilege to be allowed back into the cremation room to push the button on the machine fir my mother. I had the courage to ask because of Caitlyn Doughty.

And a forensic.

So the best job for a serial killer to go undetected would be mortician _Noted_

Yup. My best friend does it allll

Carpenter? You do realize they don't make the caskets themselves right?

@@RosesAndIvy maybe the mortician will have to fashion unwanted wood into something more respectable

I was thinking when he said that, “it’s only illegal if they know she died”

something something Monty Python , lol

I know someone who knows someone who knows someone who has been told by the Great Grand Master that all masters in the guild of undertakers, gravediggers and grave keepers will reach the point where they will embalm themselves and lay themselves to eternal rest.

Yes!

Agreed

Totally.

I agree! He's hilarious!

He has a channel. Look for it in the comments he replies to

Seriously. Time to move to where he is😂🤣 I feel like he would make my passing that little bit less traumatic for my family. That's enough of a reason to move I think😂😂

HOT SCIENCE TEACHER

You’re everywhere omg hi 😭 again

As he should. (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧

That swoop vest is pretty snazzy too.

Mad?

Eh, Wired probably has a set amount of wardrobe options for stuff like this. Then the guest can pick through those, trying them out prior and seeing if the fit is comfortable enough to want to sit through a whole video recording in. Either way though, the vest/pants combo is a bold and interesting move, with a beautiful wool weave, looks very lightweight and comfortable. I also love the subtle patten on the shirt which looks to be a decent cotton, possibly a blend. (The tie is also a wool it looks like.) So, I'd call it a win in the wardrobe choices/department.

This dude is not playing to any crowd since he knows the audience.

Heck yeah. This is how it is done. I don't believe in "pushing" sales or giving families bills they can't afford.

@@DiaryOfaCell You are free to not watch it 😌

True that

YESSS

SAME - INSTANT click!!!

My heart goes out to you. I can't imagine how hard it must have been to make that decision. I'm sorry for your loss.

I’m sorry that your loved one had to go like that. I truly believe that if you couldn’t bring yourself to see her like that it was because she didn’t want you to have that memory permanently ingrained in your head forever.

Hugs..your bravery!

I will give what happened to me when I went in and shouldn't have with my mom. I was only 17 when she died, when I got to the hospital I was ready to see her, my older sister pleaded with me not to, that I did not want to see her in the shape she was in, I thought she was exaggerating when she was saying how bad our mom looked., she said she can't tell me no if I absolutely wanted to go in that room, so I went. I went in, saw her, was absolutely shocked and terrified, screamed, then ran out. The whole year afterwards I was a complete mess, I couldn't get the image out of my head, I even ended up in a teenager psych ward for 4 days because I couldn't remove the image. Things slowly got better after the first year but it took many more years for me to get over being so traumatized, and seeing the image almost every time I tried to sleep. I am 38 now and thinking about it still bothers me, the image is faded, even if I think about it now it is blurry, but part of the trauma is still there. Sorry this was kind of long, but I wanted to share my experience and say I wish I could take it back by even going in the room in the first place.

I went in to see my great grandmother and I wish I hadn't for the very reason you just gave for not seeing your sister. In your case, I think you made the right choice. Don't give yourself a hard time over it, I'll likely do the same for the rest of my family members and have done with subsequent grandparents. I'm glad of it.

I think he's already talked about the very same thing in another video.

You have a defective lifeform if it cant understand the concept of death I should know my fist memory is fearing for my life in the back of the vehicle driven by a suicidal parent

​@@SourceOfTheRightArm That's just incorrect lol. And your own personal experience does not others reality make

@@SourceOfTheRightArm i’m genuinely sorry that you experienced that. and i hope you’ve healed or learn to. but not everybody understands or experiences death at a young age.

OMG YES PLS

What content tho?

Y E S !

@@johnreydelatorre3450 death, bereavement, burial, funeral

I don’t think he’d have time for that though considering he’s an actual mortician

I’m glad it has done you some good, friend. There were a couple reasons I signed on, and this is one of them. People have a hard time with death and a little knowledge goes a long way I think!

@@victorm.sweeney8828 I really would have never imagined I could think about death with calm and peace. So thank you a lot.

@@victorm.sweeney8828 You seem to have helped an awful lot of people by making these videos. Other than demystifying the processes & removing the taboo, what were the other reasons you signed on, if you're willing to share? To show morticians can be friendly & caring? :)

My mom, my sister, and I have all had experience with firearms. We still jumped at the first shot for my dad's, even though we were given a heads up when it was to be, so, yes. Completely accurate, even if the attendees have firearm experience. While it's not a full 21 gun salute, it was 7 members each firing 3 volleys, so a total of 21 'shots'. They then gathered the shells which were handed to my mom in a nice drawstring bag. My sister and I each have one of the shells.

Sounds like a fun family!

That's so amazing. You sound like a great family!

Judaism prohibits cremation so it's interesting a Rabbi would agree to do a funeral where a body was cremation.

I’m so sorry for your loss, but that’s so funny 😭😭

@@Notawesomeatall7 it's actually not as enforced in reform judaism! it's definitely still more common to be buried in less progressive areas but it's definitely not completely prohibited

I think it's because they basically paint his everyday job as something grim by lighting, music, and overall presentation. "God I hope morticians don't talk like that", says a mortician.

He's kinda like the Dr Mike of morticians

Hey :D former mortician! I've played it and it's fairly accurate as far as noting injuries, setting the facial features with eye caps and wiring the jaw shut (completely accurate methods), making incisions, mixing chemicals, and even aspirating the abdominal cavity with the trocar and filling it with more chemicals. The process is well done in the game, with the animations being a little simplistic of course. Overall I was pretty impressed with how accurate everything was! The only difference I noticed right away is that we would typically make the carotid artery incision around the collar bone rather than in the neck itself. It makes it easier to nicely suture the incision afterwards and hide beneath most clothing. That could differ between mortuaries though. The other thing would be what was mentioned in the video about ligature being used to tie off the artery when inserting the arterial tube. :D

That’s so neat!

I SECOND THIS

Same.

Agree!

No literally he’s so wholesome

Absolutely! Victor seems really nice and a very interesting guy.

the name is so fitting

Big same.

If only he wasn't a religious... pro-lifer

Still having a good time, Peter?

Thank you for your wishes. Right now I start all over again.

@@pklausspk i thought it was disrespectful of them to take pics of Bruce Lees body in HK morgue , suspicious death or not (drugs prolly killed him , he had massive drug addiction)

How are you doing Peter?

@@vixenrokana Thank you for kindly asking. When I wrote the comment two months ago I was in doubt. Meanwhile my beloved wife took it away by ending the story. We still love each other but we are too different. This was my third attempt to find a place. I'm quiet a nerd with not so much common interests that would make a woman stay. But I was unhappy too and more than once I thought about leaving. So this is a new start. I found a new place to live and this time maybe I will take more care of myself. Take care of your life!

The name victor also gives me very tim burton vibes

YES he is the star of a Tim Burton film I swear

His name is a double Tim Burton reference

Well his name is Victor Sweeny…

Funny you mention Tim Burton since the mortician's surname is Sweeney and Burton directed the film adaptation of Sweeney Todd

Said it all.

In another video of his he said he love his job cuz growing up people were always dying so I assume he would know quite a bit about it

Agree 100%

Btw you're very beautiful Latika

@@cartoonhanks1708 um little creepy there mate

My mum is a funeral director, it's surprising how easy it is for that mix up to happen especially if it's a busy day for them. Atleast you found out beforehand!!

This needs to be pinned. This needs to be a thing.

I would LOVE to see that

I'm studying Mortuary Science and also played the game! I can say that it's relatively accurate overall, there are some things of course like the incision along the neck for the embalming fluid cannula was way too high and unnecessarily long. Also the person would be washed before embalming would occur. But those are some examples of little inconsistencies.

Boost this!!

Of course he's not creepy 🤣.

@@azuradawn5683 hello fellow deathling!

It's entertainment, that's why people watch it. Or are you interested in being a overgrown manchild by watching Jersey Shore? Not that I endorse watching Fake Reality TV, but your point makes not much sense when you watch something you'll either watch for entertainment or education. These videos are educational, but moreso entertainment. You won't either want to be a archeologist or cartographer just having an interest in National Geographic.

Same for me.

@@coldblue9mm Not who you’re replying to but got to thinking about it - if you’re hearing impaired and napping, it’s probably a good idea to keep any hearing aids in so that you can hear potential fire alarms, doorbells, phone calls, etc.

if you’re interested in more death related content you should check out the channel ask a mortician, if you haven’t already. i’d say it’s a bit of a different vibe than what victor does in these videos, but just as informative and easy to watch :)

the only funerals I've been to were my great grandparents (died in 2018 and 2019, when I was 16 and 17 respectively). We threw in a rose and a handful of dirt each for each of them and it was just a really nice thing. They were buried in the same plot one on top of the other and so they share a gravestone, because that's what my great granddad wanted. He died of a broken heart almost exactly a year after my grandnanna passed pretty suddenly, it was nice to be able to reunite them after watching him struggle.

One of my friends died in a horrible accident in high school and broke most of the bones in his body, including his neck. He fished a lot and wore bandanas out on the boat so they put one on him for the same reason.
