You are welcome!

Same and I'm familiar with hospital cots but not funeral cots!

precisely short sweet and to the point. I learned all I needed to in under 5 min. Bravo!

thank you so much!

Howie Felterbush no kidding...

Thanks

Thank you!

Thank you!

@Howie Felterbush That's true. He even says so at 1:05: "One thing about mortuary cots, they're multi-level cots, as opposed to an ambulance cot which is either all-the-way down or all-the-way up." What I said is that ambulance cots are NOT all-the-way-down or all-the-way up, and haven't been for decades.

Thank you for the tip

From my observation he did raise the head first.

:)

The first 10-20 times, you hold your breath and pray while you're pushing just to make sure you did it right. Especially if it's a very heavy deceased. And on unloading, you don't breath easy until you hear both clicks.

@@davidp2389 I'm so sorry that I didn't see your response. I had the unfortunate happenstance of having the head of my cot to drop the other day when getting the decedent from the van. There's a first time for everything, lol. Yesterday I had it happen that I was trying to put the cot up using the underhanded grab. Didn't work because my fingers weren't long enough when and where it counted and I rammed that thing up to the van and damn near shattered my liver, LOLOLOL!! Man, that hurt. But it was a learning curve kinda thing and now I know better. No matter what the boss says, not everyone has an easier time with the underhanded grab. My stomach is still sore today, lmbo.

In Thailand family members are allowed to see their loved ones after they die even in accidents or other traumatic circumstances and they will often call other family to the scene to say goodbye and sit with the body until EMS is ready to remove it.

@@johnpalomo3193 The emergency medical technicians do not remove corpses necessarily. The dead is removed by the mortuary transport team or the coroner or the medical examiner, as in some cases. It depends on the individual towns and states. The United States can take a hint from Thailand.

Thanks

You can order from a number of companies

INdeed!

Rebekah Bridges-Tervydis That’s what the restraints are for. If need be you can also use a highway scoop or back board for extra restraints. The removal sheets will keep everything tight and not allow for flopping

Like a rag doll? Yeah I think so too.

Use Garcia.

@@cascaretthatsright9204 I use this model cot six days a week. The body does not slip in the dolly position. In addition to the two secure straps is the foot rest. Yes that's a foot rest, not a handle. The handle is at the head end.

No thats why you put the strap above the knee and feet on foot bar and tighten strap over chest and arms. And there will be no slipping or floppy body.

The legs are collapsed and the cot walked down like with any style cot

Only for medical examiner calls

I am not aoryicisn. but I would imagine if the deceased had horrible trauma or eadserping

sorry! i meant if they were seeping fluids or had horrible trauma. to them. Wouldnt this ensure their dignity too?

@@KaritheMortician Transporters, funeral directors, embalmers and others in immediate concern, have diverted from using body bags. The body bags are too cumbersome to use, even though two able-bodied men may be able to lift those corpses, especially the fat and heavy ones. The mortuary cot can be best handled by one person, instead of two.

Do you know who did them ? So I can tell my boss lol

Thank you for sharing!

Great tips!

Indeed it was

Piedmont is in Québec.. so you are québécois or there is another city that is call Piedmont in the U.S.A ?

Please give us the adresse we need one of this

I would have to check that specific one

@@KaritheMortician what do you do when you get a 400 pound person you have to go pick up and transport.

You just lift the cot with the body on it up and walk down.

@@KaritheMortician Hi, Kari. Thanks for all of your help. I just interviewed the other day for a Removal Tech. position. I'm not confidant that I got the position though because the interviewer kept asking me if she thought I had the strength to lift the bodies. She said if the decedent is over 200 lbs then they send out two techs. if under then one tech. At any rate, at least I tried. I was so curious about it. Thanks for your replies.

Thank you for sharing!

Ferno all the way

it is a general piece from the youtube free music

​@@KaritheMortician oh thanks, i've found it

?

Thank you

I'd move to see an actual removal video. Can you please make it happen!"?

"I'd love"....

Disappointment sets in...

Yes?, but then again, no! I'd love to see you pull up to the house, get the family members out the room, allow a few more mins to that family member that refuses to let go, finally he/she does, then you begin the process. Also, would like to you unloading the body at your funeral home, go up the ramp etc, etc... what say you, Kary?.... can you?

It will happen. I'll wait.

:)

The 10 seconds of lowering one end and then the other doesn't affect anything

@@KaritheMortician if they’re purging it does.

If there was a rock in front of the wheels on the load end that end will collapse. Same when raising it. The load end should be raised last for the same reason.

That is correct Spencer. I also noticed he started from the wrong end (per instructions on warning sticker on cot) when at the lowest level - Junkin states at lowest position to raise post end first, not load end as shown in video. Ferno has warning stickers instructing the exact opposite on their cots. Before I go out with a Junkin cot, I always lower it down to the floor first and “reset” cot correctly before loading into coach. If you go out with Junkin cot set wrong, you risk a complete collapse of cot. 10 years ago I was wheeling a deceased from my walk in cooler to embalming room and the Junkin cot just fell flat to the floor. My part timers obviously raised the wrong end first at lowest level. What is frustrating is I have 14 cots, Ferno, Junkin, Chinese knock off, and all are a bit different in the way they work and different models, oversize, two-man, etc. and your average part-timer still thinks all the cots are the same.

@@barrypurse5332 I'd be frustrated if I was one of your "average part timers" that you didn't have a standard cot and instead piecemealed everything. Think of your employees better.

interesting thanks

@@KaritheMortician it’s cool, that wasn’t an insult I hope you didn’t think it was.
