When I stumbled across your channel three years ago (because I’m interested in mortuary science) I knew I came across something special. Even down to the way you include your sponsorships are creative and unique. I’ve always been interested in the subject as I mentioned but I get a bit discouraged from time to time because I feel like there’s no job market for me, or how will I successfully accomplish such a goal. After watching your video to the end as I always do, I was so shocked to hear about your donations and scholarships towards African American women who are interested in the study! Not only that, but with Baltimore County Community College! I screamed! And quickly burst into tears! I live in Baltimore County and I’m still very much interested in mortuary science. This has given me hope and faith that I can achieve my dream. This is so amazing! Even if I don’t go through with it I know someone will and that too makes me so happy! Thank you soooooooooo much!!!! This has truly made my day!

@Cheezbuckets 3 жыл бұрын

@@davidroosa4561 I can’t find definitive information for the time this occurred at the moment, so it might not be the case for this situation specifically (if someone knows otherwise, please share, I’m ravenous for random details of vampire history lol), but vampires of the western tradition were originally corpses that came back to life, hence practices where dead people who were suspected of vampires or were thought to be at risk of becoming a vampire would be buried with bricks in their mouth, their limbs tied/cut off, iron or wooden stakes to nail them into their coffin, or any number of other things intended to keep the corpse from rising from their graves and/or stop them from being able to consume blood. That was an information dump that you might not be interested in lol, but all this to say, by this belief, if you burn a corpse to ash, there’s no way for it to then rise from its grave as a vampire and hurt/kill people, so that’s probably why the guy was super into the idea of cremation!

Caitlin is soooo awesome. She and this channel got me through a really tough time of my life. I found her in early 2018 and then was diagnosed with brain cancer in October and my father died of metastatic lung cancer 2 weeks before Christmas. Caitlin's frank and candid talk about death helped me immensely to deal with the funeral industry in the wake of my father's death and I was able to make sure that his wishes that he not be mutilated or embalmed before cremation werefollowed. We shaved him in his death bed and sat with him all day talking to him and sharing stories. The only thing the funeral home did was to dress and wrap him for his viewing the next day. Never would had pulled that off without knowing what to say and ask per Caitlin. She also helped me be okay with the idea of my own mortality in the face of my cancer diagnosis. Long story short, she has saved my life! I love Caitlin now and forever!
