I thought the same thing. They truly take special care as they should when you are trusting someone with your love one. And they have a better alternative to me than scared straight, young offenders are not afraid of jail. Visiting the funeral home and see how they plug bullet holes and seeing what your loved one has to go through, might be a deterrence???

My father died in a traumatic way. I was dreading seeing him at the chapel of rest but the lady at the funeral home who did the makeup, made him look like he was sleeping. I was so thankful for their work. He looked so peaceful. I was able to say goodbye to him without being faced with how he left me.

Whenever a shooting or armed robbery suspect is caught, before sentencing he/she ought to be sent by the judge to work one day at local funeral home. Mandatory! Then locked up. I guarantee 100% that person will never reoffend. That experience would haunt them that they’ll never want to attempt taking a life. It’s good and fair punishment because jail or prison isn’t enough and it has to be embedded in their minds that attempting to or killing people is wrong. I agree with this mortician 💯

@@maryeustache5788 I totally agree with you. I was a Forensic Psychologist, and worked in the " Forensic Morgue, for many years ". I am know a Trauma Surgeon, and I try by utmost best ,to save lives!!!!. If i can save a life, all that studying, was worth it, one life!!!!. I have always thought, " why don't these young men/ women, whom shoot ,stab ,and worse, why don't we bring them in to the Forensic morgue, and see exactly what they have done, and make them " sit through the full Autopsy " , as you said " if it only changes one person's behaviour, then many of a life could be saved." We have to get real about this, and YESSSSSSSSS, keep the faith, and positivity, let's not get negative, that is when, everyone ,just throws their hands up, and say, " we can't stop it". We have to try, and keep on trying!!!!!!. These so called " tough people, that have to shoot, stab etc , need to see what we do, and what they have done!!!. Yes ,they must go to jail/ prison, but it should be Mandatory, " for those ,people, if proven guilty to sit ,and see exactly " what we see,every day ". Whilst I was working the late shift in the Forensic Morgue, I opened the body bag up , and " it was my WONDERFUL BROTHER, RIP ,he was an innocent bystander. It still hurts, and haunts me to this day!!!. I always treated the deceased, with respect, honour, and thought of them, as my own. GOD BLESS EVERYONE, AND THE BEAUTIFUL FAMILY, AND RIP. It would shake them up ,alot!!!.

For those of us who have worked in either the Medical Examiner's office, city morgue or funeral home we know first how impactful it is to see human remains riddled with bullets, stab wounds or worst. I have over 20 years of experience working as an embalmer, mortuary tech in the ME's office and funeral directtor doing in excess of 500 calls per year. With all of that experience, I can say that I ever got used to seeing young black men in particular laying on my table full of gun shot wounds. I know that the scared straight method has been tried before however, I believe that if a young black male had an opportunity to see a full autopsied body coming directly from the ME's office, no embalming or preparation, just the raw presentation, I know that it would make a huge difference. I know approach that this could work b done it I've seen thou

I say they should see it all, after all they either are victim or the one who could cause the death. If they participated in scared straight and it didn’t work, time for part 2 they get to go to see the autopsy and then funeral preparations. I know things like this probably won’t happen because of legal issues but it’s a good idea i think.

Unfortunately the “scared straight” concept didn’t work in Philadelphia, Pa. It’s been tried in cities across America with little to no success. I’m in pursuit of the truth. You can’t scare straight until you remove the hate. Young people have been so desensitized to death and dying many could sleep soundly in your mortuary prep room alone and surrounded by corpses.

@@GABRIELADAWSON if you've never tried Jesus than you don't know how he changes ones life. It's funny how someone can say Jesus isn't real but yet never tried living for him. It's not a religion it's a relationship with him. I could tell you what he has done I'm my life, but it would be waisted. Since the beginning of time Jesus has been hated. But one day when he returns it will be when everyone is Judged. One thing I've learned if you don't give up,he won't give up. Such peace and always there when you need him. So unless you don't come before him with a sincere heart and believe, you'll never know how real he is. The Bible is coming true and I'm sorry you don't believe in him. Just remember he loves you no matter what. Another thing I've learned Sin will take you as far as you want to go. In the last days people will call good evil and evil good. It's happening now in the world. Also people's hearts will be cold and a spirit of rebellion is in the world. Thank you for your comment and praying one day you will give your heart to him.

And all these children having babies needs to stop. Maybe if we had a program for all teenagers in school teaching them how hard it is to raise a baby. But, to make sure you pass the class ,with a good grade and if you don't you don't graduate. Maybe we can come up with some good idea.

I was thinking something very similar to this. After watching many videos. Many of African American people who have passed, I noticed so many young men,boys and girls walking passed the open caskets and looking in, wondering to myself, does this sight make an impact on that young person? Seeing how FINAL this moment is. Then I’d say a prayer asking the Lord to please let this deceased person “speak” to this young man/woman loud enough to make an impression to make them think twice before becoming involved in any violence, crime etc. 🙏

I get your message but it's not only young African American boys and girls that are dying from violence, although it seems that the number of deaths among African Americans is higher but don't make it seem like it's only African Americans. We are living in a time where prayer for all of our youth is necessary no matter the color. They all seem to be so angry, feeling hopeless and acting as if love is something they have never had or felt. 🙏🙏

@@iwainacomer8698 I agree. It’s just the African American home goings that I’m seeing here and commenting on. No offense implied, just sad to see so many. I’ve not only commented on AA home goings. Peace

AAs are dying from gun violence more than anyone else, and it's been out of control since the late 2000s. Things won't get better when so-called leaders are being soft on criminals.

I had to at 21 years old do my 19 year old brother funeral after he was murdered.. It was the hardest thing I had to do in my life.. But it made me more conscious and aware of how to handle my children and grandchildren cause I don't want to burry the and I want them to burry me but it's life and and that's the order it's supposed to go

In some cases "it's the pastor preaching to the choir" in other words those that would come are not the ones doing the shooting. The message has to get to the street of the shooter ..
